See also skopeo(1) for options placed before the subcommand name.
--additional-tag=strings
Additional tags (supports docker-archive).
--all, -a
If source-image refers to a list of images, instead of copying just the image which matches the current
OS and architecture (subject to the use of the global --override-os, --override-arch and --override-
variant options), attempt to copy all of the images in the list, and the list itself.
--authfilepath
Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json, which is set using
skopeologin. If the authorization state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which
is set using dockerlogin.
Note: You can also override the default path of the authentication file by setting the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE
environment variable. exportREGISTRY_AUTH_FILE=path--src-authfilepath
Path of the authentication file for the source registry. Uses path given by --authfile, if not provided.
--dest-authfilepath
Path of the authentication file for the destination registry. Uses path given by --authfile, if not
provided.
--dest-shared-blob-dirdirectory
Directory to use to share blobs across OCI repositories.
--digestfilepath
After copying the image, write the digest of the resulting image to the file.
--preserve-digests
Preserve the digests during copying. Fail if the digest cannot be preserved.
This option does not change what will be copied; consider using --all at the same time.
--encrypt-layerintsExperimental the 0-indexed layer indices, with support for negative indexing (e.g. 0 is the first layer,
-1 is the last layer)
--format, -fmanifest-type
MANIFEST TYPE (oci, v2s1, or v2s2) to use in the destination (default is manifest type of source, with
fallbacks)
--help, -h
Print usage statement
--multi-archoption
Control what is copied if source-image refers to a multi-architecture image. Default is system.
Options: - system: Copy only the image that matches the system architecture - all: Copy the full multi-
architecture image - index-only: Copy only the index
The index-only option usually fails unless the referenced per-architecture images are already present in
the destination, or the target registry supports sparse indexes.
--quiet, -q
Suppress output information when copying images.
--remove-signatures
Do not copy signatures, if any, from source-image. Necessary when copying a signed image to a destination
which does not support signatures.
--sign-bykey-id
Add a “simple signing” signature using that key ID for an image name corresponding to destination-image--sign-by-sigstoreparam-file
Add a sigstore signature based on the options in the specified containers sigstore signing parameter
file, param-file. See containers-sigstore-signing-params.yaml(5) for details about the file format.
--sign-by-sigstore-private-keypath
Add a sigstore signature using a private key at path for an image name corresponding to destination-image--sign-passphrase-filepath
The passphare to use when signing with --sign-by or --sign-by-sigstore-private-key. Only the first line
will be read. A passphrase stored in a file is of questionable security if other users can read this
file. Do not use this option if at all avoidable.
--sign-identityreference
The identity to use when signing the image. The identity must be a fully specified docker reference. If
the identity is not specified, the target docker reference will be used.
--src-shared-blob-dirdirectory
Directory to use to share blobs across OCI repositories.
--encryption-keyprotocol:keyfile
Specifies the encryption protocol, which can be JWE (RFC7516), PGP (RFC4880), and PKCS7 (RFC2315) and the
key material required for image encryption. For instance, jwe:/path/to/key.pem or pgp:admin@example.com
or pkcs7:/path/to/x509-file.
--decryption-keykey[:passphrase]
Key to be used for decryption of images. Key can point to keys and/or certificates. Decryption will be
tried with all keys. If the key is protected by a passphrase, it is required to be passed in the argument
and omitted otherwise.
--src-credsusername[:password]
Credentials for accessing the source registry.
--dest-compress
Compress tarball image layers when saving to directory using the 'dir' transport. (default is same
compression type as source).
--dest-decompress
Decompress tarball image layers when saving to directory using the 'dir' transport. (default is same
compression type as source).
--dest-oci-accept-uncompressed-layers
Allow uncompressed image layers when saving to an OCI image using the 'oci' transport. (default is to
compress things that aren't compressed).
--dest-credsusername[:password]
Credentials for accessing the destination registry.
--src-cert-dirpath
Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the source registry or daemon.
--src-no-creds
Access the registry anonymously.
--src-tls-verify=bool
Require HTTPS and verify certificates when talking to container source registry or daemon. Default to
source registry setting.
--dest-cert-dirpath
Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the destination registry or daemon.
--dest-no-creds
Access the registry anonymously.
--dest-tls-verify=bool
Require HTTPS and verify certificates when talking to container destination registry or daemon. Default
to destination registry setting.
--src-daemon-hosthost
Copy from docker daemon at host. If host starts with tcp://, HTTPS is enabled by default. To use plain
HTTP, use the form http:// (default is unix:///var/run/docker.sock).
--dest-daemon-hosthost
Copy to docker daemon at host. If host starts with tcp://, HTTPS is enabled by default. To use plain
HTTP, use the form http:// (default is unix:///var/run/docker.sock).
Existing signatures, if any, are preserved as well.
--dest-compress-formatformat
Specifies the compression format to use. Supported values are: gzip and zstd.
--dest-compress-levelformat
Specifies the compression level to use. The value is specific to the compression algorithm used, e.g.
for zstd the accepted values are in the range 1-20 (inclusive), while for gzip it is 1-9 (inclusive).
--src-registry-tokentoken
Bearer token for accessing the source registry.
--dest-registry-tokentoken
Bearer token for accessing the destination registry.
--dest-precompute-digests
Precompute digests to ensure layers are not uploaded that already exist on the destination registry.
Layers with initially unknown digests (ex. compressing "on the fly") will be temporarily streamed to
disk.
--retry-times
The number of times to retry. Retry wait time will be exponentially increased based on the number of
failed attempts.
--src-username
The username to access the source registry.
--src-password
The password to access the source registry.
--dest-username
The username to access the destination registry.
--dest-password
The password to access the destination registry.
