podman-logout - Log out of a container registry
Contents
Description
podmanlogout logs out of a specified registry server by deleting the cached credentials stored in the
auth.json file. If the registry is not specified, the first registry under [registries.search] from
registries.conf is used. The path of the authentication file can be overridden by the user by setting the
authfile flag. The default path used is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json. For more details about
format and configurations of the auth,json file, see containers-auth.json(5) All the cached credentials
can be removed by setting the all flag.

Options
--all,-a
Remove the cached credentials for all registries in the auth file
--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.--compat-auth-file=path
Instead of updating the default credentials file, update the one at path, and use a Docker-compatible
format.
