podman-image-sign - Create a signature for an image
Contents
Description
podmanimagesign 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
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

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 podmanlogin. If the
authorization state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which is set using dockerlogin.
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 exportREGISTRY_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.
