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

NAME
     podman-load - Load image(s) from a tar archive into container storage

SYNOPSIS
     podman load [options]

     podman image load [options]

DESCRIPTION
     podman  load  loads an image from either an oci-archive or a docker-archive
     stored on the local machine into container storage. podman load reads  from
     stdin by default or a file if the input option is set.  podman load is used
     for  loading  from  the archive generated by podman save, that includes the
     image parent layers. To load the archive of container's filesystem  created
     by podman export, use podman import.

     The  local  client  further  supports loading an oci-dir or a docker-dir as
     created with podman save (1).

     The quiet option suppresses the progress output when set.	Note: : is a re-
     stricted character and cannot be part of the file name.

OPTIONS
   --help, -h
     Print usage statement

   --input, -i=input
     Load the specified input file instead of from stdin.  The file  can  be  on
     the     local     file	system	   or	  on	 a     server	  (e.g.,
     https://server.com/archive.tar). Also supports loading in compressed files.

     The remote client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines, re-
     quires the use of this option.

     NOTE: Use the environment variable TMPDIR to change the  temporary  storage
     location of container images. Podman defaults to use /var/tmp.

   --quiet, -q
     Suppress the progress output

EXAMPLES
     Create an image from a compressed tar file, without showing progress.

     $ podman load --quiet -i fedora.tar.gz

     Create  an image from the archive.tar file pulled from a URL, without show-
     ing progress.

     $ podman load -q -i https://server.com/archive.tar
