docker buildx imagetools create

Description

Create a new image based on source images

Usage

$ docker buildx imagetools create [OPTIONS] [SOURCE] [SOURCE...]

Extended description

Imagetools contains commands for working with manifest lists in the registry. These commands are useful for inspecting multi-platform build results.

Create a new manifest list based on source manifests. The source manifests can be manifest lists or single platform distribution manifests and must already exist in the registry where the new manifest is created. If only one source is specified, create performs a carbon copy.

For example uses of this command, refer to the examples section below.

Options

Name, shorthand Default Description
--append Append to existing manifest
--dry-run Show final image instead of pushing
--file , -f Read source descriptor from file
--tag , -t Set reference for new image
--builder Override the configured builder instance

Examples

Append new sources to an existing manifest list (--append)

Use the --append flag to append the new sources to an existing manifest list in the destination.

Show final image instead of pushing (--dry-run)

Use the --dry-run flag to not push the image, just show it.

Read source descriptor from a file (-f, --file)

-f FILE or --file FILE

Reads source from files. A source can be a manifest digest, manifest reference, or a JSON of OCI descriptor object.

Set reference for new image (-t, --tag)

-t IMAGE or --tag IMAGE

Use the -t or --tag flag to set the name of the image to be created.
