NAME

podman-image-sign - Create a signature for an image

SYNOPSIS

podman image sign [options] image [image …]

DESCRIPTION

podman image sign creates a local signature for one or more local images that have been pulled from a registry. The signature is written to a directory derived from the registry configuration files in $HOME/.config/containers/registries.d if it exists, otherwise /etc/containers/registries.d (unless overridden at compile-time), see containers-registries.d(5) for more information. By default, the signature is written into /var/lib/containers/sigstore for root and $HOME/.local/share/containers/sigstore for non-root users

OPTIONS

--all, -a

Sign all the manifests of the multi-architecture image (default false).

--authfile=path

Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json on Linux, and $HOME/.config/containers/auth.json on Windows/macOS. The file is created by podman login. If the authorization state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which is set using docker login.

Note: There is also the option to override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable. This can be done with export REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path.

--cert-dir=path

Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry. (Default: /etc/containers/certs.d) For details, see containers-certs.d(5). (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

--directory, -d=dir

Store the signatures in the specified directory. Default: /var/lib/containers/sigstore

--help, -h

Print usage statement.

--sign-by=identity

Override the default identity of the signature.

EXAMPLES

Sign the busybox image with the identity of foo@bar.com with a user’s keyring and save the signature in /tmp/signatures/.

   $ sudo podman image sign --sign-by foo@bar.com --directory /tmp/signatures docker://privateregistry.example.com/foobar

   $ sudo podman image sign --authfile=/tmp/foobar.json --sign-by foo@bar.com --directory /tmp/signatures docker://privateregistry.example.com/foobar
