podman-init(1)		    General Commands Manual		podman-init(1)

NAME
       podman-init - Initialize	one or more containers

SYNOPSIS
       podman init [options] container [container...]

       podman container	init [options] container [container...]

DESCRIPTION
       Initialize  one or more containers.  You	may use	container IDs or names
       as input.  Initializing a container performs all	 tasks	necessary  for
       starting	 the  container	 (mounting  filesystems, creating an OCI spec,
       initializing the	container network) but does not	start  the  container.
       If a container is not initialized, the podman start and podman run com-
       mands  initialize  it automatically prior to starting it.  This command
       is intended to be used for inspecting a container's filesystem  or  OCI
       spec  prior  to starting	it.  This can be used to inspect the container
       before it runs, or debug	why a container	is failing to run.

OPTIONS
   --all, -a
       Initialize all containers. Containers  that  have  already  initialized
       (including  containers  that have been started and are running) are ig-
       nored.

   --latest, -l
       Instead of providing the	container name or ID,  use  the	 last  created
       container.  Note: the last started container can	be from	other users of
       Podman on the host machine.  (This option is not	available with the re-
       mote  Podman  client,  including	 Mac  and Windows (excluding WSL2) ma-
       chines)

EXAMPLE
       Initialize specified container with a given ID.

       podman init 35480fc9d568

       Initialize specified container with a given name.

       podman init test1

       Initialize the latest container.	(This option is	not available with the
       remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows	(excluding  WSL2)  ma-
       chines)

       podman init --latest
