+# Podman Cheatsheet
+
+This cheat sheet covers the commands used for working with Podman, a popular tool for managing containers. Podman commands are mostly compatible with Docker. As stated on the Podman landing page, "Podman is a daemonless, open source, Linux native tool designed to make it easy to find, run, build, share and deploy applications using Open Containers Initiative (OCI) Containers and Container Images."
+
+## Image repositories
+
+```shell
+# List all local images
+podman images
+# Remove (forced) a local image from the local cache
+podman rmi -f <image>:<tag>
+# Pushes a container image to a remote registry
+podman push <registry_url>/<username>/<image>:<tag>
+# Create a local container image with name and tag
+podman build -t <registry_url>/<username>/<image>:<tag> .
+
+# Display historical information about a container image stored on the local machine
+podman history [options] <registry_url>/<username>/<image>:<tag>
+
+# Log a user into a remote container image registry
+podman login [options] <registry_url>
+# Log a user out of a remote container image registry
+podman logout [options] <registry_url>
+
+# Pulls an image from a remote registry
+podman pull [options] <remote_registry_url>/<username>/<image>:<tag>
+
+# Searches the container image registries defined in /etc/containers/registries.conf
+podman search [options] <search_string>
+# Example of /etc/containers/registries.conf
+[registries.search]
+registries = ["quay.io", "registry.fedoraproject.org", "registry.access.redhat.com", "registry.centos.org", "docker.io"]
+```
+
+## Building images
+
+```shell
+# Create a container image using the default Dockerfile in the local directory
+podman build [options] <image>:<tag> .
+# create a container image using a file named Dockerfile
+podman build [options] <image>:<tag> -f <Dockerfile>
+
+# Create a new tag for an existing container image in the local repository
+podman tag <image_uuid> <image>:<new_tag>
+podman tag <image>:<tag> <image>:<new_tag>
+```
+
+## Containers
+
+```shell
+# Run a container based on a given <image>:<tag> pair
+podman run <image>:<tag>
+# Run a container in the background based on a given <image>:<tag> pair
+podman run -d <image>:<tag>
+# Run a container with a custom name
+podman run -d --name <container_name> <image>:<tag>
+# Run a container with a terminal and command prompt
+podman run -it <image>:<tag>
+# Run a container that is removed after it exits
+podman run --rm <image>:<tag>
+# Execute a command after running a container
+podman run <image>:<tag> <command>
+
+# List running containers on the local machine
+podman ps -a
+```
+
+> Note: If the image exists on the local machine, that image will be used. Otherwise, `podman run` attempts to get the container image from the remote repository specified in the command.
+
+```shell
+# Gracefully stop a container from running
+podman stop [options] <container>
+
+# Creates a container from a container image but does not start it
+podman create [options] </repo/image:tag>
+
+# Restart an existing container
+podman restart [options] <container>
+
+# Remove a container from the host computer
+podman rm [options] <container>
+
+# Wait for the specified container to meet a condition (default is stopped)
+podman wait [options] <container>
+
+# Display a live stream of a container’s resource usage
+podman stats [options] <container>
+```
+
+> Note: The command `podman stats` must be executed as `sudo` and shows only containers running with root privileges.
+
+```shell
+# Return metadata describing a running container
+podman inspect [options] <container>
+```
+
+## Container processes and resources
+
+```shell
+# List the containers on the local system
+podman ps [options]
+
+# Create a new container image based on the current state of a running container
+podman commit [options] <container> <new_image>:<tag>
+
+# Attach to a running container and views its output or controls it
+podman attach [options] <container>
+```
+
+> Note: Use the key sequence `Ctrl+p` `Ctrl+q` to detach from the container while leaving it running.
+
+```shell
+# Execute a command in a running container
+podman exec <container> <command>
+
+# Display the running processes of a container
+podman top <container>
+
+# Display the logs of a container
+podman logs [options] <container>
+# Display the logs of a container with timestamps
+podman logs -t <container>
+
+# Pause all the processes in a specified container or all containers
+podman pause [options] <container>
+# Unpause all the processes in a specified container or all containers
+podman unpause [options] <container>
+
+# List the port mappings from a container to localhost
+podman port [options] <container>
+```
+
+## Container filesystems
+
+```shell
+# Display all the changes caused by a container to the filesystem
+podman diff [options] <container>
+
+# Mount and report the location of a container’s filesystem on the host computer
+podman mount [options] <container>
+# Unmounts a container’s root filesystem
+podman umount [options] <container>
+# Export a container’s filesystem to a tar file
+podman export -o <output_filename> <container>
+# Import a tar file and saves it as a filesystem image
+podman import <tar_filename>
+```
+

+# Report information about the installed version of Podman
+podman version
+# Display information about the Podman instance installed on the localhost
