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) EXAMPLES 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 Initialize all containers. $ podman init --all 9d2629dda7b9d4ca35c1fc63fa56592a08b9d5ab988b4301fddf16b623f676cc a9b78bcac97e131236930e3fa0be576e95ab89c96a7cb6fb1c821b772db9f623 9db345273719c14bc254f90ef2df24779193b42d68b1364c0914ca6f76cf5e9c SEE ALSO podman(1), podman-start(1) HISTORY April 2019, Originally compiled by Matthew Heon mheon@redhat.com <mailto:mheon@redhat.com> podman-init(1)
