✨ podman-manifest-inspect ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the podman-manifest-inspect manual page 💖 this one lives in the General Commands Manual and it's literally the cutest little peek-behind-the-curtain for manifest lists and image indexes. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

podman-manifest-inspect — Display a manifest list or image index

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

podman manifest inspect [options] listnameorindexname

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically it displays the manifest list or image index that was stored using the image name you gave it. that's it, that's the whole vibe. you point at a name, it shows you the goods ✨

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

You get a formatted JSON representation of the manifest list or image index. formatted! pretty! JSON! 💜

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --authfile=path — the path of the authentication file, bestie. the default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json on Linux, and $HOME/.config/containers/auth.json on Windows/macOS. this file is created by podman login. and if the authorization state isn't found there, it checks $HOME/.docker/config.json, which is the one set using docker login.

📝 Note: there's also the option to override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable. you can do this with export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path.

• --tls-verify — require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: true). if explicitly set to true, TLS verification is used. if set to false, TLS verification is not used 😭. if not specified, TLS verification is used unless the target registry is listed as an insecure registry in containers-registries.conf(5). so like… the default is safe, but there are escape hatches, iykyk 🔥
