💅 containers...-set-names(1) — the glow-up your names deserved ✨

okay so bestie, this page lives in the General Commands Manual section, and it's about containers-storage-set-names. it's giving "rename your whole life in one command" energy and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

containers-storage-set-names — set names for a layer/image/container 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

containers-storage set-names [-n name [...]]
layerOrImageOrContainerNameOrID

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, IDs are fine and all, but they're giving "a wall of hex characters at 2am" 😭. that's why in containers-storage, layers, images, and containers can also have human-readable names assigned to them — actual names, bestie, names you can say out loud 💖.

and the set-names command? it's the one you use to reset the list of names for any of them. layers, images, containers, pick your fave. periodt. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -n, --name name — this is where you tell it a name to set on the layer, image, or container 🎀. and here's the tea: if the name you specified is already used by another layer, image, or container, it gets removed from that other one — it's a steal, not a copy, no cap 💀. also, any names currently assigned to this layer, image, or container that you did not specify with this option? yeah, those get removed from it too. it's a full reset, so don't come crying when your old names ghost you 🙈

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's the vibe, fr fr:

containers-storage set-names \
 -n my-one-and-only-name \
 f3be6c6134d0d980936b4c894f1613b69a62b79588fdeda744d0be3693bde8ec

one name, one ID, one slay. that's the whole thing ✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the whole friend group, honestly. go say hi 🫶

lowkey important reminder bestie: set-names doesn't add — it resets. if you wanted to keep your existing names around, you should've been using add-names. the more you know 💫

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left 🌸 this one's from August 2016 (a true vintage moment, we stan a timeless icon), it's the containers...-set-names(1) page, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section. mwah, go name something cute 💖✨
