NAME
podman-artifact-push - Push an OCI artifact from local storage to an image registry

SYNOPSIS
podman artifact push [options] image

DESCRIPTION
Pushes an artifact from the local artifact store to an image registry.
    # Push artifact to a container registry
    $ podman artifact push quay.io/artifact/foobar1:latest

OPTIONS

  --authfile=path
Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json on Linux, and $HOME/.config/containers/auth.json on Windows/macOS. The file is created by podman login(podman-login.1.md). If the authorization state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which is set using docker login.

Note: There is also the option to override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable. This can be done with export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path.

  --cert-dir=path
Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry. (Default: /etc/containers/certs.d) For details, see containers-certs.d(5) ⟨https://github.com/containers/image/blob/main/docs/containers-certs.d.5.md⟩. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

  --creds=[username[:password]]
The [username[:password]] to use to authenticate with the registry, if required. If one or both values are not supplied, a command line prompt appears and the value can be entered. The password is entered without echo.

Note that the specified credentials are only used to authenticate against target registries. They are not used for mirrors or when the registry gets rewritten (see containers-registries.conf(5)); to authenticate against those consider using a containers-auth.json(5) file.

  --digestfile=Digestfile
After copying the image, write the digest of the resulting image to the file.

  --quiet, -q
When writing the output image, suppress progress output

  --retry=attempts
Number of times to retry pulling or pushing images between the registry and local storage in case of failure. Default is 3.

  --retry-delay=duration
Duration of delay between retry attempts when pulling or pushing images between the registry and local storage in case of failure. The default is to start at two seconds and then exponentially back off. The delay is used when this value is set, and no exponential back off occurs.

  --sign-by=key
Add a “simple signing” signature at the destination using the specified key. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

  --sign-by-sigstore=param-file
Add a sigstore signature based on further options specified in a container's sigstore signing parameter file param-file. See containers-sigstore-signing-params.yaml(5) for details about the file format.

  --sign-by-sigstore-private-key=path
Add a sigstore signature at the destination using a private key at the specified path. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

  --sign-passphrase-file=path
If signing the image (using either --sign-by or --sign-by-sigstore-private-key), read the passphrase to use from the specified 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) ⟨https://github.com/containers/image/blob/main/docs/containers-registries.conf.5.md⟩

EXAMPLE
Push the specified iage to a container registry:
    $ podman artifact push quay.io/baude/artifact:single
    Getting image source signatures
    Copying blob 3ddc0a3cdb61 done   |
    Copying config 44136fa355 done   |
    Writing manifest to image destination
