NAME
       skopeo  --  Command line	utility	used to	interact with local and	remote
       container images	and container image registries

SYNOPSIS
       skopeo [global options] command [command	options]

DESCRIPTION
       skopeo is a command line	utility	providing various operations with con-
       tainer images and container image registries.

       skopeo can copy	container  images  between  various  containers	 image
       stores,	converting  them as necessary.	For example you	can use	skopeo
       to copy container images	from one container registry to another.

       skopeo can convert a Docker schema 2 or schema 1	container image	to  an
       OCI image.

       skopeo  can  inspect a repository on a container	registry without need-
       lessly pulling the image. Pulling an image  from	 a  repository,	 espe-
       cially  a remote	repository, is an expensive network and	storage	opera-
       tion. Skopeo fetches the	repository's manifest and  displays  a	docker
       inspect-like json output	about the repository or	a tag. skopeo, in con-
       trast  to  docker  inspect, helps you gather useful information about a
       repository or a tag without requiring you to run	docker pull -  e.g.  -
       Which  tags  are	 available for the given repository? Which labels does
       the image have?

       skopeo can sign and verify container images.

       skopeo can delete container images from a remote	container registry.

       Note: skopeo does not require any container runtimes to be running,  to
       do  most	 of  its functionality.	 It also does not require root,	unless
       you are copying images into a container runtime storage	backend,  like
       the docker daemon or github.com/containers/storage.

IMAGE NAMES
       Most commands refer to container	images,	using a	transport:details for-
       mat. The	following formats are supported:

       containers-storage:docker-reference
	 An image located in a local containers/storage	image store.  Both the
       location	and image store	are specified in /etc/containers/storage.conf.
       (Backend	for Podman, CRI-O, Buildah and friends)

       dir:path
	 An existing local directory path storing the manifest,	layer tarballs
       and  signatures as individual files. This is a non-standardized format,
       primarily useful	for debugging or noninvasive container inspection.

       docker://docker-reference
	 An image in a registry	implementing the  "Docker  Registry  HTTP  API
       V2".  By	 default,  uses	 the  authorization  state in either $XDG_RUN-
       TIME_DIR/containers/auth.json, which is set using  (skopeo  login).  If
       the  authorization  state is not	found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json
       is checked, which is set	using (docker login).

       docker-archive:path[:docker-reference]
	 An image is stored in the docker save formatted file.	 docker-refer-
       ence  is	only used when creating	such a file, and it must not contain a
       digest.

       docker-daemon:docker-reference
	 An image docker-reference stored in the docker	daemon internal	 stor-
       age.  docker-reference must contain either a tag	or a digest.  Alterna-
       tively,	when  reading images, the format can be	docker-daemon:algo:di-
       gest (an	image ID).

       oci:path:tag
	 An image tag in a directory compliant with "Open Container Image Lay-
       out Specification" at path.

       oci-archive:path:tag
	 An image tag in a tar archive compliant with  "Open  Container	 Image
       Layout Specification" at	path.

       See     containers-transports(5)	    <https://github.com/containers/im-
       age/blob/main/docs/containers-transports.5.md> for details.

OPTIONS
       These options should be placed before the subcommand name.   Individual
       subcommands have	their own options.

       --command-timeout duration

       Timeout for the command execution.

       --debug

       enable debug output

       --help, -h

       Show help

       --insecure-policy

       Adopt  an  insecure, permissive policy that allows anything. This obvi-
       ates the	need for a policy file.

       --override-arch arch

       Use arch	instead	of the architecture of the machine  for	 choosing  im-
       ages.

       --override-os os

       Use OS instead of the running OS	for choosing images.

       --override-variant variant

       Use  variant  instead  of the running architecture variant for choosing
       images.

       --policy	path-to-policy

       Path to a policy.json file to use for verifying signatures and deciding
       whether an image	is trusted, overriding the default trust policy	file.

       --registries.d dir

       Use registry configuration files	in dir (e.g. for  container  signature
       storage), overriding the	default	path.

       --tmpdir	dir

       Directory used to store temporary files.	Defaults to /var/tmp.

       --version, -v

       Print the version number

EXIT STATUS
       skopeo exits with status	0 on success, non-zero on error.

       Details about the exit statuses:

       1 Generic error,	details	can be found in	the error message.

       2 The input image cannot	be found. Note that this is  best  effort  and
       for remote registries the status	often cannot be	reliably reported.

	 Default trust policy file, if --policy	is not specified.
	 The   policy	format	 is  documented	 in  containers-policy.json(5)

       icy.json.5.md> .

       /etc/containers/registries.d
	 Default  directory  containing	 registry  configuration,  if	--reg-
       istries.d is not	specified.
