NAME

podman-logout - Log out of a container registry

SYNOPSIS

podman logout [options] registry

DESCRIPTION

podman logout 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.

podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS]

podman logout [GLOBAL OPTIONS]

podman logout [OPTIONS] REGISTRY [GLOBAL OPTIONS]

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 podman login. If the authorization state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which is set using docker login.

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 export REGISTRY_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.

--help, -h

Print usage statement

EXAMPLES

Remove login credentials for the docker.io registry from the authentication file:

$ podman logout docker.io

Remove login credentials for the docker.io registry from the authdir/myauths.json file:

$ podman logout --authfile authdir/myauths.json docker.io

Remove login credentials for all registries:

$ podman logout --all
