## NAME
|
|
podman\-init - Initialize one or more containers
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
**podman init** [*options*] *container* [*container*...]
|
|
|
|
**podman container init** [*options*] *container* [*container*...]
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
Initialize one or more containers.
|
|
You may use container IDs or names as input.
|
|
Initializing a container performs all tasks necessary for starting the container (mounting filesystems, creating an OCI spec, initializing the container network) but does not start the container.
|
|
If a container is not initialized, the `podman start` and `podman run` commands initialize it automatically prior to starting it.
|
|
This command is intended to be used for inspecting a container's filesystem or OCI spec prior to starting it.
|
|
This can be used to inspect the container before it runs, or debug why a container is failing to run.
|
|
|
|
## OPTIONS
