containers...reate-layer(1)

🦋 NAME 🦋

containers-storage-create-layer — the girl whose entire job is, and I cannot stress this enough, creating a layer. that's the gig. that's the whole gig. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

containers-storage create-layer [options [...]] [parentLayerNameOrID]

yes bestie, options go in the middle, parent layer goes at the end, and everything is optional except the vibe. 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — this command makes you a brand new layer.

if you hand it a layer, that layer becomes the parent of your new one. if you don't hand it a layer? no parent, no problem, your new layer is just empty. a blank little canvas. a fresh start. main character energy fr fr. ✨

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -n name — sets an optional name for the layer. heads up tho: if that name is already taken, you get an error back. no name-stealing in this house. 😤
• -i, --id ID — sets the ID for the layer. don't feel like picking one? that's fine, one gets generated for you. 🧚
• -l, --label mount-label — sets the label that gets assigned as an SELinux context when the layer gets mounted. yes it's a whole thing. yes it matters. iykyk. 🔥

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

containers-storage create-layer -f manifest.json -n new-layer somelayer
