podman-play-kube - Create pods and containers based on Kubernetes YAML
podman play kube ** [-h**|--help] [--authfile] [--cert-dir] [--creds] [-q | --quiet] [--signature-policy*] [--tls-verify] kubernetes_input.yml
podman play kube will read in a structured file of Kubernetes YAML. It will then recreate the pod and containers described in the YAML. The containers within the pod are then started and the ID of the new Pod is output.
Ideally the input file would be one created by Podman (see podman-generate-kube(1)). This would guarantee a smooth import and expected results.
--authfile
Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json, which is set using podman login
.
If the authorization state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which is set using docker login
.
Note: You can also override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE
environment variable. export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path
--cert-dir path
Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry. Default certificates directory is /etc/containers/certs.d.
--creds
The [username[:password]] to use to authenticate with the registry if required. If one or both values are not supplied, a command line prompt will appear and the value can be entered. The password is entered without echo.
--quiet, -q
Suppress output information when pulling images
--signature-policy="PATHNAME"
Pathname of a signature policy file to use. It is not recommended that this option be used, as the default behavior of using the system-wide default policy (frequently /etc/containers/policy.json) is most often preferred.
--tls-verify
Require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: true). If explicitly set to true, then TLS verification will be used. If set to false, then TLS verification will not be used. If not specified, TLS verification will be used unless the target registry is listed as an insecure registry in registries.conf.
--help, -h
Print usage statement
Recreate the pod and containers as described in a file called demo.yml
$ podman play kube demo.yml
