% podman(1) podman - Simple management tool for pods and images
% Dan Walsh
# podman "1" "September 2016" "podman"
## NAME
podman - Simple management tool for containers and images
## SYNOPSIS
**podman** [*options*] COMMAND
# DESCRIPTION
podman is a simple client only tool to help with debugging issues when daemons
such as CRI runtime and the kubelet are not responding or failing. A shared API
layer could be created to share code between the daemon and podman. podman does not
require any daemon running. podman utilizes the same underlying components that
crio uses i.e. containers/image, container/storage, oci-runtime-tool/generate,
runc or any other OCI compatible runtime. podman shares state with crio and so
has the capability to debug pods/images created by crio.
**podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS]**
## GLOBAL OPTIONS
**--help, -h**
Print usage statement
**--config value, -c**=**"config.file"**
Path of a config file detailing container server configuration options
**--cpu-profile**
Path to where the cpu performance results should be written
**--log-level**
log messages above specified level: debug, info, warn, error (default), fatal or panic
**--root**=**value**
Path to the root directory in which data, including images, is stored
**--runroot**=**value**
Path to the 'run directory' where all state information is stored
**--runtime**=**value**
Path to the OCI compatible binary used to run containers
**--storage-driver, -s**=**value**
Select which storage driver is used to manage storage of images and containers (default is overlay)
**--storage-opt**=**value**
Used to pass an option to the storage driver
**--version, -v**
Print the version

## FILES
**libpod.conf** (`/etc/containers/libpod.conf`)
libpod.conf is the configuration file for all tools using libpod to manage containers
**storage.conf** (`/etc/containers/storage.conf`)
storage.conf is the storage configuration file for all tools using containers/storage
The storage configuration file specifies all of the available container storage options for tools using shared container storage.
**mounts.conf** (`/usr/share/containers/mounts.conf` and optionally `/etc/containers/mounts.conf`)
The mounts.conf files specify volume mount directories that are automatically mounted inside containers when executing the `podman run` or `podman start` commands. Container processes can then use this content. The volume mount content does not get committed to the final image if you do a `podman commit`.
Usually these directories are used for passing secrets or credentials required by the package software to access remote package repositories.
For example, a mounts.conf with the line "`/usr/share/rhel/secrets:/run/secrets`", the content of `/usr/share/rhel/secrets` directory is mounted on `/run/secrets` inside the container. This mountpoint allows Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions from the host to be used within the container.
The format of the mounts.conf is the volume format /SRC:/DEST, one mount per line. Users can create an `/etc/containers/mounts.conf`, to specify their own special volumes to mount in the container. Podman by default reads /usr/share/containers/mounts.conf and the /etc/containers/mounts.conf if it exists.
Note this is not a volume mount. The content of the volumes is copied into container storage, not bind mounted directly from the host.
**registries.conf** (`/etc/containers/registries.conf`)
registries.conf is the configuration file which specifies which registries should be consulted when completing image names which do not include a registry or domain portion.
