✨ podman-manifest-create — bestie's guide to making manifest lists ✨

okay so you're in the podman-manifest-create(1) page, which is part of the podman General Commands Manual, and we're about to create manifest lists / image indexes together. it's giving build-a-bear but for multi-arch images 🧸💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

podman-manifest-create — make a manifest list or an image index. yes, that's the whole vibe. creating. manifests. lists. iconic.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

podman manifest create [options] listnameorindexname [imagename ...]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically: this makes a brand-new manifest list and stores it in your local storage under whatever name you gave it. slay.

And if you pass extra images along? They get added to that freshly-created list or index. no cap. 🫶

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --all — if any of the images you're adding to your new list or index are themselves lists or indexes, this adds all of their contents. by default you only get one image from such a list added to your new list or index. so --all is the "give me everything" button 🔥
• --amend, -a — if a manifest list named listnameorindexname already exists, this modifies the preexisting list instead of just exiting with an error. cute, right? BUT — and listen — the contents of listnameorindexname are not modified if you don't give any *imagename*s. so no sneaky changes with zero arguments, periodt.
• --annotation=value — set an annotation on the newly-created image index. label it, decorate it, make it yours 🎀
• --tls-verify — require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: true). here's the breakdown bestie:
  • if you explicitly set it to true, TLS verification is used.
  • if you set it to false, TLS verification is not used.
  • if you don't specify it at all, TLS verification is used — unless the target registry is listed as an insecure registry in containers-registries.conf(5).

ngl, that last one is the plot twist. insecure registries get a free pass when you don't say anything, so know your config 🙈
