💖 containers...tainer-data(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the containers...tainer-data(1) page — that's the General Commands Manual, section 1, and the actual command living here is containers-storage-set-container-data. say it with me now: this is the glow-up your container's lookaside data deserves ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

containers-storage-set-container-data — set lookaside data for a container

like, you're literally attaching a little named note to a container. that's the whole gig. no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

containers-storage set-container-data [options [...]] containerNameOrID dataName

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Sets a piece of named data which is associated with a container.

that's it. that's the vibe. you hand it a container (by name or by ID) and a dataName, and boom — that named blob of data is now chilling with that container. it's giving lookaside data, and honestly? iconic.

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -f, --file filename — read the data contents from a file instead of stdin. so if your data already lives in a file somewhere, bestie, just point at it and let the command slurp it up. otherwise it's reading from stdin like a patient little legend.

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

fr fr, here's how it looks in the wild:

containers-storage set-container-data -f ./config.json my-container configuration

see what happened there? -f ./config.json says "read the data from this file," my-container is the container, and configuration is the dataName — the label that piece of data is filed under. chef's kiss 👑

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the whole squad, obviously:

• containers-storage-list-container-data(1)
• containers-storage-get-container-data(1)
• containers-storage-get-container-data-size(1)
• containers-storage-get-container-data-digest(1)

---

💀 quick vibe check: if you don't pass -f, it's reading from stdin, so don't just sit there staring at a blank prompt wondering why nothing's happening. pipe something in or point it at a file, bestie.
