NAME

podman-kube-down - Remove containers and pods based on Kubernetes YAML

SYNOPSIS

podman kube down file.yml|-|https://website.io/file.yml

DESCRIPTION

podman kube down reads a specified Kubernetes YAML file, tearing down pods that were created by the podman kube play command via the same Kubernetes YAML file. Any volumes that were created by the previous podman kube play command remain intact. If the YAML file is specified as -, podman kube down reads the YAML from stdin. The input can also be a URL that points to a YAML file such as https://podman.io/demo.yml. podman kube down will then teardown the pods and containers created by podman kube play via the same Kubernetes YAML from the URL. However, podman kube down will not work with a URL if the YAML file the URL points to has been changed or altered since the creation of the pods and containers using podman kube play.

EXAMPLES

Example YAML file demo.yml:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
...
spec:
  containers:
  - command:
    - top
    - name: container
      value: podman
    image: foobar
...

Remove the pod and containers as described in the demo.yml file

$ podman kube down demo.yml

Remove the pod and containers as described in the demo.yml file YAML sent to stdin

$ cat demo.yml | podman kube play -
