✨ buildah-logout — bestie's guide to logging OUT 💅

okay so this is the buildah-logout(1) page, from the General Commands Manual section, and it's literally just about yeeting yourself out of a container registry. let's go 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

buildah-logout — Logout of a container registry

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

buildah logout [options] registry

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay bestie, here's the tea ☕ — buildah logout logs you out of a specified registry server by deleting the cached credentials stored in the auth.json file. like, poof, gone, no more login energy 💀

the path of the authentication file can be overridden by you (yes you, main character 👑) by setting the authfile flag. the default path used is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json. see containers-auth.json(5) for more info, iykyk.

and if you want all the cached credentials gone? just set the all flag and watch them all disappear at once. it's giving spring cleaning 🌈

buildah [GLOBAL OPTIONS]

buildah logout [GLOBAL OPTIONS]

buildah logout [OPTIONS] REGISTRY [GLOBAL OPTIONS]

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --all, -a — Remove the cached credentials for all registries in the auth file. every single one. no survivors 🫶
• --authfile — Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json. See containers-auth.json(5) for more information.

Note: You can also override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable. Like this, bestie: export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path 🧚

• --compat-auth-file=path — Instead of updating the default credentials file, update the one at path, and use a Docker-compatible format. lowkey fancy of you ngl 💅
• --help, -h — Print usage statement. the classic. the icon. ⭐

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

logging out of quay.io, the standard slay:

$ buildah logout quay.io
Removed login credentials for quay.io

logging out but with a custom authfile because you're built different:

$ buildah logout --authfile authdir/myauths.json quay.io
Removed login credentials for quay.io

and the nuclear option, logout of literally everything 🔥:

$ buildah logout --all
Remove login credentials for all registries
