## NAME
pypodman - Simple management tool for containers and images
## SYNOPSIS
**pypodman** [*global options*] _command_ [*options*]
## DESCRIPTION
pypodman is a simple client only tool to help with debugging issues when daemons
such as CRI runtime and the kubelet are not responding or failing. pypodman uses
a VarLink API to commicate with a podman service running on either the local or
remote machine. pypodman uses ssh to create secure tunnels when communicating
with a remote service.
## GLOBAL OPTIONS
**--help, -h**
Print usage statement.
**--version**
Print program version number and exit.
**--config-home**
Directory that will be namespaced with `pypodman` to hold `pypodman.conf`. See FILES below for more details.
**--log-level**
Log events above specified level: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING (default), ERROR, or CRITICAL.
**--run-dir**
Directory that will be namespaced with `pypodman` to hold local socket bindings. The default is ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR\`.
**--user**
Authenicating user on remote host. `pypodman` defaults to the logged in user.
**--host**
Name of remote host. There is no default, if not given `pypodman` attempts to connect to `--remote-socket-path` on local host.
**--remote-socket-path**
Path on remote host for podman service's `AF_UNIX` socket. The default is `/run/podman/io.projectatomic.podman`.
**--identity-file**
The optional `ssh` identity file to authenicate when tunnelling to remote host. Default is None and will allow `ssh` to follow it's default methods for resolving the identity and private key using the logged in user.
## COMMANDS
See [podman(1)](podman.1.md)
## FILES
**pypodman/pypodman.conf** (`Any element of XDG_CONFIG_DIRS` and/or `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and/or **--config-home**)
pypodman.conf is one or more configuration files for running the pypodman command. pypodman.conf is a TOML file with the stanza `[default]`, with a map of option: value.
pypodman follows the XDG (freedesktop.org) conventions for resolving it's configuration. The list below are read from top to bottom with later items overwriting earlier. Any missing items are ignored.
- `pypodman/pypodman.conf` from any path element in `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS` or `\etc\xdg`
- `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` or $HOME/.config + `pypodman/pypodman.conf`
- From `--config-home` command line option + `pypodman/pypodman.conf`
- From environment variable, for example: RUN_DIR
- From command line option, for example: --run-dir
This should provide Operators the ability to setup basic configurations and allow users to customize them.
**XDG_RUNTIME_DIR** (`XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/io.projectatomic.podman`)
Directory where pypodman stores non-essential runtime files and other file objects (such as sockets, named pipes, ...).
