--all

If the image which should be added to the list or index is itself a list or index, add all of the contents to the local list. By default, only one image from such a list or index will be added to the list or index. Combining --all with any of the other options described below is NOT recommended.

--annotation=annotation=value

Set an annotation on the entry for the image.

--arch

Override the architecture which the list or index records as a requirement for the image. If imageName refers to a manifest list or image index, the architecture information will be retrieved from it. Otherwise, it will be retrieved from the image's configuration information.

--authfile=path

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: There is also the option to override the default path of the authentication 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) Please refer to containers-certs.d(5) for details. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

--creds=[username[:password]]

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.

--features

Specify the features list which the list or index records as requirements for the image. This option is rarely used.

--os

Override the OS which the list or index records as a requirement for the image. If imagename refers to a manifest list or image index, the OS information will be retrieved from it. Otherwise, it will be retrieved from the image's configuration information.

--os-version

Specify the OS version which the list or index records as a requirement for the image. This option is rarely used.

--tls-verify

Require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: true). If explicitly set to true, TLS verification will be used. If set to false, 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 containers-registries.conf(5)

--variant

Specify the variant which the list or index records for the image. This option is typically used to distinguish between multiple entries which share the same architecture value, but which expect different versions of its instruction set.
