podman-play-kube(1)

NAME

podman-play-kube - Create pods and containers based on Kubernetes YAML

SYNOPSIS

podman play kube [options] file.yml

DESCRIPTION

podman play kube will read in a structured file of Kubernetes YAML. It will then recreate the pod and containers described in the YAML. The containers within the pod are then started and the ID of the new Pod is output.

Ideally the input file would be one created by Podman (see podman-generate-kube(1)). This would guarantee a smooth import and expected results.

Note: HostPath volume types created by play kube will be given an SELinux private label (Z)

OPTIONS:

--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. (Not available for remote commands)

Note: You can also override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable. export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path

--cert-dir=path

Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry. Default certificates directory is /etc/containers/certs.d. (Not available for remote commands)

--creds

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.

--quiet, -q

Suppress output information when pulling images

--tls-verify=true|false

Require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: true). If explicitly set to true, then TLS verification will be used. If set to false, then 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 registries.conf. (Not available for remote commands)

--help, -h

Print usage statement

Examples

Recreate the pod and containers as described in a file called demo.yml

    $ podman play kube demo.yml
