## 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 registry in the search term
|
|
(e.g., **registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora**). By default, 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 distribution API is specific to the implementation of each registry.
|
|
Some registries may not support searching at all.
|
|
Further note that searching without a search term only works for registries that implement the v2 API.

## OPTIONS

@@option authfile

|
|
|
@@option cert-dir
|
|
|
|
#### **--compatible**
|
|
|
|
After the name and the description, also show the stars, official and automated descriptors as Docker does.
|
|
Podman does not show these descriptors by default since they are not supported by most public container registries.
|
|
|
|
@@option creds
|
|
|
|
#### **--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 registry 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 associated with the image.
|
|
|
|
#### **--no-trunc**
|
|
|
|
Do not truncate the output (default *false*).

|
Search and list tags for the specified image returning the first four images from each defined registry.
