🦋 oc import-image — welcome to OC(1), bestie 🦋

Okay so this is the manual page for oc import-image, and it is literally about importing images from a container image registry. Let’s get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

oc import-image — importing images from a container image registry, no cap. That’s the whole name-vibe 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

oc import-image [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Bestie, this command imports the latest image information from a tag in a container image registry. It’s giving “metadata refresh” and honestly it ate ✨

Image streams let you control which images are rolled out to your builds and applications. This command fetches the latest version of an image from a remote repository and updates the image stream tag if it does not match the previous value. Running the command multiple times will not create duplicate entries. When importing an image, only the image metadata is copied, not the image contents. So it’s metadata-only, iconic behavior 💖

If you want to change the image stream tag or provide more advanced options, see the tag command. iykyk 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --all=false — if true, import all tags from the provided source on creation or if --from is specified. Full tag-collection moment 🎀
  • --allow-missing-template-keys=true — if true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats. Very “don’t stress the missing key” energy ✨
  • --confirm=false — if true, allow the image stream import location to be set or changed. It’s the “yes, actually do the thing” flag 💅
  • --dry-run=false — fetch information about images without creating or updating an image stream. Look, don’t touch 🦋
  • --from="" — a container image repository to import images from. This is the source spot 👀
  • --import-mode="Legacy" — imports the full manifest list of a tag when set to 'PreserveOriginal'. Defaults to 'Legacy'. Manifest-list main character energy 🔥
  • --insecure=false — if true, allow importing from registries that have invalid HTTPS certificates or are hosted via HTTP. This flag will take precedence over the insecure annotation. 🚨 Bestie, this is the “we’re being insecure on purpose” option, so be careful.
  • -o, --output="" — output format. One of: json, yaml, kyaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file. Pick your formatting aesthetic 🌈
  • --reference-policy="source" — allow to request pullthrough for external image when set to 'local'. Defaults to 'source'. Pullthrough permission slip vibes 🫶
  • --scheduled=false — set each imported container image to be periodically imported from a remote repository. Defaults to false. Recurring import era ⏰
  • --show-managed-fields=false — if true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format. Managed-fields visibility toggle 🎀
  • --template="" — template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates (http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview). Template girlies rise 💖

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

These are the parent-command options, aka the family package 🫶

  • --as="" — username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace.
  • --as-group=[] — group to impersonate for the operation; this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.
  • --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation.
  • --as-user-extra=[] — user extras to impersonate for the operation; this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key.
  • --cache-dir="/homeless-shelter/.kube/cache" — default cache directory. Exact path, don’t @ me 🎀
  • --certificate-authority="" — path to a cert file for the certificate authority.
  • --client-certificate="" — path to a client certificate file for TLS.
  • --client-key="" — path to a client key file for TLS.
  • --cluster="" — the name of the kubeconfig cluster to use.
  • --context="" — the name of the kubeconfig context to use.
  • --disable-compression=false — if true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server. Compression cancellation moment 💅
  • --insecure-skip-tls-verify=false — if true, the server’s certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure. 🚨 Girlypop, this is a real “danger” toggle, okay?
  • --kubeconfig="" — path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
  • --kuberc="" — path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. This can be disabled by exporting KUBECTL_KUBERC=false feature gate or turning off the feature KUBERC=off.
  • --match-server-version=false — require server version to match client version. Matching-version standards ✨
  • -n, --namespace="" — if present, the namespace scope for this CLI request.
  • --profile="none" — name of profile to capture. One of (none|cpu|heap|goroutine|threadcreate|block|mutex).
  • --profile-output="profile.pprof" — name of the file to write the profile to.
  • --request-timeout="0" — the length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value of zero means don’t timeout requests.
  • -s, --server="" — the address and port of the Kubernetes API server.
  • --tls-server-name="" — server name to use for server certificate validation. If it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used.
  • --token="" — bearer token for authentication to the API server.
  • --user="" — the name of the kubeconfig user to use.
  • --warnings-as-errors=false — treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code. Warnings really said “I’m an error now” 💀

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

# Import tag latest into a new image stream
oc import-image mystream --from=registry.io/repo/image:latest --confirm

# Update imported data for tag latest in an already existing image stream
oc import-image mystream

# Update imported data for tag stable in an already existing image stream
oc import-image mystream:stable

# Update imported data for all tags in an existing image stream
oc import-image mystream --all

# Update imported data for a tag that points to a manifest list to include the full manifest list
oc import-image mystream --import-mode=PreserveOriginal

# Import all tags into a new image stream
oc import-image mystream --from=registry.io/repo/image --all --confirm

# Import all tags into a new image stream using a custom timeout
oc --request-timeout=5m import-image mystream --from=registry.io/repo/image --all --confirm
