buildah commit - Create an image from a working container.
buildah commit [options [...]] containerID [imageName]
Writes a new image using the specified container's read-write layer and if it is based on an image, the layers of that image. If an image name is not specified, an ID is assigned, but no name is assigned to the image.
--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.
--cert-dir path
Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry. Default certificates directory is /etc/containers/certs.d.
--creds 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.
--disable-compression, -D
Don't compress filesystem layers when building the image.
--format
Control the format for the image manifest and configuration data. Recognized formats include oci (OCI image-spec v1.0, the default) and docker (version 2, using schema format 2 for the manifest).
--quiet
When writing the output image, suppress progress output.
--rm Remove the container and its content after committing it to an image. Default leaves the container and its content in place.
--signature-policy
Pathname of a signature policy file to use. It is not recommended that this option be used, as the default behavior of using the system-wide default policy (frequently /etc/containers/policy.json) is most often preferred.
--tls-verify bool-value
Require HTTPS and verify certificates when talking to container registries (defaults to true)
This example saves an image based on the container.
buildah commit containerID
This example saves an image named newImageName based on the container.
buildah commit --rm containerID newImageName
This example saves an image based on the container disabling compression.
buildah commit --disable-compression containerID
This example saves an image named newImageName based on the container disabling compression.
buildah commit --disable-compression containerID newImageName
This example commits the container to the image on the local registry while turning off tls verification.
buildah commit --tls-verify=false containerID docker://localhost:5000/imageId
This example commits the container to the image on the local registry using credentials and certificates for authentication.
buildah commit --cert-dir ~/auth --tls-verify=true --creds=username:password containerID docker://localhost:5000/imageId
This example commits the container to the image on the local registry using credentials from the /tmp/auths/myauths.json file and certificates for authentication.
buildah commit --authfile /tmp/auths/myauths.json --cert-dir ~/auth --tls-verify=true --creds=username:password containerID docker://localhost:5000/imageId
