NAME
     buildah-config - Update image configuration settings.

SYNOPSIS
     buildah config [options] container

DESCRIPTION
     Updates one or more of the settings kept for a container.

OPTIONS
     --add-history

     Add an entry to the image's history which will note changes to the settings
     for  --cmd, --entrypoint, --env, --healthcheck, --label, --onbuild, --port,
     --shell, --stop-signal, --user, --volume, and  --workingdir.   Defaults  to
     false.

     Note:  You  can also override the default value of --add-history by setting
     the BUILDAH_HISTORY environment variable. export BUILDAH_HISTORY=true

     --annotation, -a annotation=annotation

     Add an image annotation (e.g. annotation=annotation) to the image	manifest
     of  any  images  which  will be built using the specified container. Can be
     used multiple times.  If annotation has a trailing -, then  the  annotation
     is removed from the config.  If the annotation is set to "-" then all anno-
     tations are removed from the config.

     --arch architecture

     Set  the  target  architecture for any images which will be built using the
     specified container.  By default, if the container was based on  an  image,
     that image's target architecture is kept, otherwise the host's architecture
     is recorded.

     --author author

     Set  contact  information for the author for any images which will be built
     using the specified container.

     --cmd command

     Set the default command to run for containers based  on  any  images  which
     will be built using the specified container.  When used in combination with
     an entry point, this specifies the default parameters for the entry point.

     --comment comment

     Set  the  image-level  comment for any images which will be built using the
     specified container.

     Note: this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is  dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --created-by created

     Set  the  description  of	how the topmost layer was created for any images
     which will be created using the specified container.

     --domainname domain

     Set the domainname to set when running containers based on any images built
     using the specified container.

     Note: this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is  dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --entrypoint "command" | '["command", "arg1", ...]'

     Set  the entry point for containers based on any images which will be built
     using the specified container. buildah supports two formats for entrypoint.
     It can be specified as a simple string, or as an array of commands.

     Note: When the entrypoint is specified as a string, container runtimes will
     ignore the cmd value of the container image.  However if you use the  array
     form,  then the cmd will be appended onto the end of the entrypoint cmd and
     be executed together.

     Note: The string form is appended to the sh -c command as	the  entrypoint.
     The array form replaces entrypoint entirely.

     String Format:

     $ buildah from scratch
     $ buildah config --entrypoint "/usr/bin/notashell" working-container
     $ buildah inspect --format '{{ .OCIv1.Config.Entrypoint }}' working-container
     [/bin/sh -c /usr/bin/notshell]
     $ buildah inspect --format '{{ .Docker.Config.Entrypoint }}' working-container
     [/bin/sh -c /usr/bin/notshell]

     Array Format:

     $ buildah config --entrypoint '["/usr/bin/notashell"]' working-container
     $ buildah inspect --format '{{ .OCIv1.Config.Entrypoint }}' working-container
     [/usr/bin/notashell]
     $ buildah inspect --format '{{ .Docker.Config.Entrypoint }}' working-container
     [/usr/bin/notashell]

     --env, -e env[=value]

     Add a value (e.g. env=value) to the environment for containers based on any
     images  which will be built using the specified container. Can be used mul-
     tiple times.  If env is named but neither = nor a value is specified,  then
     the value will be taken from the current process environment.  If env has a
     trailing  -, then the env is removed from the config.  If the env is set to
     "-" then all environment variables are removed from the config.

     --healthcheck command

     Specify a command which should be run to check if a  container  is  running
     correctly.

     Values  can  be  NONE,  "CMD  ..." (run the specified command directly), or
     "CMD-SHELL ..." (run the specified command using the  system's  shell),  or
     the empty value (remove a previously-set value and related settings).

     Note:  this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --healthcheck-interval interval

     Specify how often the command  specified  using  the  --healthcheck  option
     should be run.

     Note:  this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --healthcheck-retries count

     Specify how many times the command specified using the --healthcheck option
     can fail before the container is considered to be unhealthy.

     Note: this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is  dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --healthcheck-start-interval interval

     Specify the time between health checks during the start period.

     Note:  this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --healthcheck-start-period interval

     Specify how much time can elapse after a container  has  started  before  a
     failure  to run the command specified using the --healthcheck option should
     be treated as an indication that the container  is  failing.   During  this
     time  period,  failures  will be attributed to the container not yet having
     fully started, and will not be counted as errors.	After the  command  suc-
     ceeds, or the time period has elapsed, failures will be counted as errors.

     Note:  this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --healthcheck-timeout interval

     Specify how long to wait after starting the  command  specified  using  the
     --healthcheck option to wait for the command to return its exit status.  If
     the  command  has not returned within this time, it should be considered to
     have failed.

     Note: this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is  dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --history-comment comment

     Sets a comment on the topmost layer in any images which will be created us-
     ing the specified container.

     --hostname host

     Set  the  hostname to set when running containers based on any images built
     using the specified container.

     Note: this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is  dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --label, -l label=value

     Add an image label (e.g. label=value) to the image configuration of any im-
     ages  which will be built using the specified container. Can be used multi-
     ple times.  If label has a trailing -, then the label is removed  from  the
     config.   If  the	label is set to "-" then all labels are removed from the
     config.

     --onbuild onbuild command

     Add an ONBUILD command to the image.  ONBUILD  commands  are  automatically
     run when images are built based on the image you are creating.

     Note:  this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --os operating system

     Set the target operating system for any images which will	be  built  using
     the  specified container.	By default, if the container was based on an im-
     age, its OS is kept, otherwise the host's OS's name is recorded.

     --os-feature feature

     Set the name of a required operating system feature for  any  images  which
     will  be built using the specified container.  By default, if the container
     was based on an image, the base image's required OS feature list  is  kept,
     if it specified one.  This option is typically only meaningful when the im-
     age's OS is Windows.

     If  feature  has  a trailing -, then the feature is removed from the set of
     required features which will be listed in the image.  If the feature is set
     to "-" then the entire features list is removed from the config.

     --os-version version

     Set the exact required operating system version for any images  which  will
     be  built	using the specified container.	By default, if the container was
     based on an image, the base image's required OS  version  is  kept,  if  it
     specified	one.   This option is typically only meaningful when the image's
     OS is Windows, and is typically set in Windows base images, so  using  this
     option is usually unnecessary.

     --port, -p port/protocol

     Add a port to expose when running containers based on any images which will
     be  built	using  the  specified container. Can be used multiple times.  To
     specify whether the port listens on TCP or UDP, use  "port/protocol".   The
     default is TCP if the protocol is not specified. To expose the port on both
     TCP and UDP, specify the port option multiple times. If port has a trailing
     -	and  is already set, then the port is removed from the configuration. If
     the port is set to - then all exposed ports settings are removed  from  the
     configuration.

     --shell shell

     Set  the default shell to run inside of the container image.  The shell in-
     struction allows the default shell used for the shell form of  commands  to
     be overridden. The default shell for Linux containers is "/bin/sh -c".

     Note:  this setting is not present in the OCIv1 image format, so it is dis-
     carded when writing images using OCIv1 formats.

     --stop-signal signal

     Set default stop signal for container. This signal will be sent  when  con-
     tainer is stopped, default is SIGINT.

     --unsetannotation annotation

     Unset the image annotation, causing the annotation not to be inherited from
     the base image.

     --unsetlabel label

     Unset  the image label, causing the label not to be inherited from the base
     image.

     --user, -u user[:group]

     Set the default user to be used when running containers based on  this  im-
     age.   The user can be specified as a user name or UID, optionally followed
     by a group name or GID, separated by a colon (':').  If names are used, the
     container should include entries for those names  in  its	/etc/passwd  and
     /etc/group files.

     --variant variant

     Set  the target architecture variant for any images which will be built us-
     ing the specified container.  By default, if the container was based on  an
     image,  that  image's  target architecture and variant information is kept,
     otherwise the host's architecture and variant are recorded.

     --volume, -v volume

     Add a location in the directory tree which should be marked as a volume  in
     any  images  which will be built using the specified container. Can be used
     multiple times. If volume has a trailing -, and is already  set,  then  the
     volume  is  removed  from the config.  If the volume is set to "-" then all
     volumes are removed from the config.

     --workingdir directory

     Set the initial working directory for containers based on images which will
     be built using the specified container.

     buildah config --author='Jane Austen' --workingdir='/etc/mycontainers' con-
     tainerID

     buildah config --entrypoint /entrypoint.sh containerID

     buildah config --entrypoint '[ "/entrypoint.sh", "dev" ]' containerID

     buildah config --env foo=bar --env PATH=$PATH containerID
