podman-init - Initialize one or more containers

       Initialize  one  or  more  containers.   You  may  use  container  IDs or names as input.  Initializing a
       container performs all tasks necessary for starting the container (mounting filesystems, creating an  OCI
       spec,  initializing  the  container  network)  but  does  not start the container.  If a container is not
       initialized, the podmanstart and podmanrun commands initialize it automatically prior to  starting  it.
       This command is intended to be used for inspecting a container's filesystem or OCI spec prior to starting
       it.   This  can  be  used to inspect the container before it runs, or debug why a container is failing to
       run.

       Initialize specified container with a given ID.

       podman init 35480fc9d568

       Initialize specified container with a given name.

       podman init test1

       Initialize  the  latest container. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including
       Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

       podman init --latest

--all,-a
       Initialize all containers. Containers that have already initialized (including containers that have  been
       started and are running) are ignored.

   --latest,-l
       Instead  of  providing  the container name or ID, use the last created container.  Note: the last started
       container can be from other users of Podman on the host machine.  (This option is not available with  the
       remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)
