NAME
     podman-search - Search a registry for an image

SYNOPSIS
     podman search [options] term

DESCRIPTION
     podman  search  searches  a registry or a list of registries for a matching
     image.  The user can specify which registry to search by prefixing the reg-
     istry in the search term (e.g., registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora).  By de-
     fault, all unqualified-search registries  in  containers-registries.conf(5)
     are used.

     The  default  number of results is 25. The number of results can be limited
     using the --limit flag.  If more than one registry is being  searched,  the
     limit  is	applied  to  each registry. The output can be filtered using the
     --filter flag. To get all available images in a registry without a specific
     search term, the user can just enter the registry name with a trailing  "/"
     (example registry.fedoraproject.org/).

     Note  that podman search is not a reliable way to determine the presence or
     existence of an image.  The search behavior of the v1 and v2 Docker distri-
     bution API is specific to the implementation of each registry.   Some  reg-
     istries  may  not	support  searching  at all.  Further note that searching
     without a search term only works for registries that implement the v2 API.

     podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS]

     podman search [GLOBAL OPTIONS]

     podman search [OPTIONS] TERM

OPTIONS
   --authfile=path
     Path of the authentication  file.	Default  is  ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/contain-
     ers/auth.json  on	Linux,	and  $HOME/.config/containers/auth.json  on Win-
     dows/macOS.  The file is created by  podman  login.  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  authen-
     tication  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).
     (This  option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac
     and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

   --compatible
     After the name and the description, also show the stars, official and auto-
     mated descriptors as Docker does.	Podman does not show  these  descriptors
     by  default  since  they  are  not  supported by most public container reg-
     istries.

   --creds=[username[:password]]
     The [username[:password]] to use to authenticate with the registry, if  re-
     quired.   If one or both values are not supplied, a command line prompt ap-
     pears 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.

   --filter, -f=filter
     Filter output based on conditions provided (default [])

     Supported filters are:

     * stars (int) - minimum number of stars required for images to show

     * is-automated (boolean - true | false) - is the image automated or not

     * is-official (boolean - true | false) - is the image official or not

   --format=format
     Change the output format to a Go template

     Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

     +--------------+------------------------------+
     | Placeholder  | Description		   |
     +--------------+------------------------------+
     | .Automated   | "[OK]" if image is automated |
     +--------------+------------------------------+
     | .Description | Image description 	   |
     +--------------+------------------------------+
     | .Index	    | Registry			   |
     +--------------+------------------------------+
     | .Name	    | Image name		   |
     +--------------+------------------------------+
     | .Official    | "[OK]" if image is official  |
     +--------------+------------------------------+
     | .Stars	    | Star count of image	   |
     +--------------+------------------------------+
     | .Tag	    | Repository tag		   |
     +--------------+------------------------------+

     Note: use .Tag only if the --list-tags is set.

   --help, -h
     Print usage statement

   --limit=limit
     Limit the number of results (default 25).	Note: The results from each reg-
     istry is limited to this value.  Example if limit is 10 and two  registries
     are  being  searched,  the  total number of results is 20, 10 from each (if
     there are at least 10 matches in each).  The order of the search results is
     the order in which the API endpoint returns the results.

   --list-tags
     List the available tags in the repository for the specified  image.   Note:
     --list-tags  requires  the  search term to be a fully specified image name.
     The result contains the Image name and its tag, one line for every tag  as-
     sociated with the image.

   --no-trunc
     Do not truncate the output (default false).

   --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 con-
     tainers-registries.conf(5)

EXAMPLES
     Search for images containing the specified name, returning the first  three
     images from each defined registry.

     $ podman search --limit 3 fedora
     NAME					    DESCRIPTION
     registry.fedoraproject.org/f29/fedora-toolbox
     registry.fedoraproject.org/f30/fedora-toolbox
     registry.fedoraproject.org/f31/fedora-toolbox
     docker.io/library/fedora			    Official Docker builds of Fedora
     docker.io/kasmweb/fedora-37-desktop	    Fedora 37 desktop for Kasm Workspaces
     docker.io/kasmweb/fedora-38-desktop	    Fedora 38 desktop for Kasm Workspaces
     quay.io/fedora/fedora
     quay.io/containerdisks/fedora		    # Fedora Containerdisk Images  <img src="htt...
     quay.io/fedora/fedora-minimal

     Note  that the Stars, Official and Automated descriptors are only available
     on Docker Hub and are hence not displayed by default.

     $ podman search --format "{{.Name}}\t{{.Stars}}\t{{.Official}}" alpine --limit 3
     docker.io/library/alpine	    7956	[OK]
     docker.io/alpine/git	    192
     docker.io/anapsix/alpine-java  474
     quay.io/libpod/alpine	    0
     quay.io/vqcomms/alpine-tools   0
     quay.io/wire/alpine-deps	    0

     Search and list tags for the specified image returning the first  four  im-
     ages from each defined registry.

     $ podman search --list-tags registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8 --limit 4
     NAME			      TAG
     registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8  8.4-211
     registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8  8.4-206.1626828523-source
     registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8  8.4-199
     registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8  8.4-211-source

     Note:  This  works only with registries that implement the v2 API. If tried
     with a v1 registry an error is returned.

FILES
     registries.conf (/etc/containers/registries.conf)

     registries.conf is the configuration file which specifies	which  container
     registries  is consulted when completing image names which do not include a
     registry or domain portion.
