## NAME
podman-remote - A remote CLI for Podman: A Simple management tool for pods, containers and images.
## SYNOPSIS
**podman-remote** [*options*] *command*
## DESCRIPTION
Podman (Pod Manager) is a fully featured container engine that is a simple daemonless tool.
Podman provides a Docker-CLI comparable command line that eases the transition from other
container engines and allows the management of pods, containers and images. Simply put: `alias docker=podman`.
Most Podman commands can be run as a regular user, without requiring additional
privileges.
Podman uses Buildah(1) internally to create container images. Both tools share image
(not container) storage, hence each can use or manipulate images (but not containers)
created by the other.
Podman-remote provides a local client interacting with a Podman backend node through a RESTful API tunneled through a ssh connection. In this context, a Podman node is a Linux system with Podman installed on it and the API service activated. Credentials for this session can be passed in using flags, environment variables, or in `containers.conf`.
The `containers.conf` file should be placed under `$HOME/.config/containers/containers.conf` on Linux and Mac and `%APPDATA%\containers\containers.conf` on Windows.
**podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS]**
## GLOBAL OPTIONS
**--connection**=*name*, **-c**
Remote connection name
**--help**, **-h**
Print usage statement
**--identity**=*path*
Path to ssh identity file. If the identity file has been encrypted, Podman prompts the user for the passphrase.
If no identity file is provided and no user is given, Podman defaults to the user running the podman command.
Podman prompts for the login password on the remote server.
**--log-level**=*level*
Log messages above specified level: debug, info, warn, error (default), fatal or panic
**--url**=*value*
URL to access Podman service (default from `containers.conf`, rootless "unix://run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock" or as root "unix://run/podman/podman.sock).
**--version**
Print the version
## Exit Status
The exit code from `podman` gives information about why the container
failed to run or why it exited. When `podman` commands exit with a non-zero code,
the exit codes follow the `chroot` standard, see below:
**125** The error is with podman itself
$ podman run --foo busybox; echo $?
Error: unknown flag: --foo
125
**126** Executing a _contained command_ and the _command_ cannot be invoked
$ podman run busybox /etc; echo $?
Error: container_linux.go:346: starting container process caused "exec: \"/etc\": permission denied": OCI runtime error
126
**127** Executing a _contained command_ and the _command_ cannot be found
$ podman run busybox foo; echo $?
Error: container_linux.go:346: starting container process caused "exec: \"foo\": executable file not found in $PATH": OCI runtime error
127
**Exit code** _contained command_ exit code
$ podman run busybox /bin/sh -c 'exit 3'; echo $?
