podman-load - Load image(s) from a tar archive into container storage
podman load [
options]
podman image load [
options]
podman load loads an image from either an
oci-archive or a
docker-archive stored on the local machine into container storage.
podman load reads from stdin by default or a file if the
input
option is set.
podman load is used for loading from the archive
generated by
podman save, that includes the image parent layers. To
load the archive of container's filesystem created by
podman export,
use
podman import.
The local client further supports loading an
oci-dir or a
docker-dir as created with
podman save (1).
The
quiet option suppresses the progress output when set. Note:
:
is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.

podman load [OPTIONS]
Print usage statement
Load the specified input file instead of from stdin. The file can be on the
local file system or on a server (e.g.,
https://server.com/archive.tar)
The remote client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines, requires
the use of this option.
NOTE: Use the environment variable
TMPDIR to change the temporary storage
location of container images. Podman defaults to use
/var/tmp.
Suppress the progress output
$ podman load --quiet -i fedora.tar
$ podman load -q -i https://server.com/archive.tar
$ podman load < fedora.tar
