💅 buildah-manifest-create ✨

okay so real talk — this is page buildah-manifest-create(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally the moment your manifest list era begins 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

buildah-manifest-create — create a manifest list or image index 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

buildah manifest create [options...] listNameOrIndexName [imageName ...]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what this does is: it creates a brand-new manifest list and stores it as an image in your local storage, using whatever name you gave it. slay ✨

And if you also throw in extra images? They get added to your freshly-created list or index. it's giving instant friend group 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

You get back the randomly-generated image ID of the newly-created list or index. iconic. and if you ever need to yeet it, you can delete that image with the buildah rmi command 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --all — if any of the images you're adding to the new list or index are themselves lists or indexes, this adds all of their contents. by default, only one image from such a list gets added to your newly-created list or index. so yeah, --all is the "bring everyone" option 🙈
• --amend — instead of exiting with an error when listNameOrIndexName already exists, it amends the existing image. some deets: when listNameOrIndexName is a manifest list, the contents of listNameOrIndexName are not modified unless imageNames are given. and when listNameOrIndexName is a regular image, that image gets converted into a manifest list with the original image as its first entry. glow-up behavior, honestly 🔥
• --annotation annotation=value — set an annotation on the newly-created image index 🏷️
• --replace — if an image named listNameOrIndexName already exists, this removes the name from the existing image before creating the new manifest list.

💀 heads up bestie: --replace cannot be used together with --amend. pick one, not both, no cap.

• --tls-verify bool-value — require HTTPS and verification of certificates when talking to container registries. defaults to true. and real talk: TLS verification cannot be used when talking to an insecure registry 🌈
