NAME

       podman-commit - Create new image based on the changed container

SYNOPSIS

       podman commit [options] container [image]

       podman container commit [options] container [image]

DESCRIPTION

       podman commit creates an image based on a changed container. The author of the image can be set using the
       --author  OPTION.  Various  image  instructions  can  be configured with the --change OPTION and a commit
       message can be set using the --message OPTION. The container and its processes are paused while the image
       is committed. This minimizes the likelihood of data corruption when creating the new image.  If  this  is
       not  desired,  the --pause OPTION can be set to false. When the commit is complete, Podman will print out
       the ID of the new image.

       If image does not begin with a registry name component, localhost will be added to the name.  If image is
       not provided, the values for the REPOSITORY and TAG values of the created  image  will  each  be  set  to
       <none>.

OPTIONS

   --author, -a=author
       Set the author for the committed image.
