# podman-manifest-create(1)

Create a manifest list or image index

## NAME

podman-manifest-create - Create a manifest list or image index

## SYNOPSIS

**podman manifest create** \[*options*\] *listnameorindexname* \[*imagename* ...\]

## DESCRIPTION

Creates a new manifest list and stores it as an image in local storage using the specified name.

If additional images are specified, they are added to the newly-created list or index.

## OPTIONS

### --all

If any of the images added to the new list or index are themselves lists or indexes, add all of their contents.  By default, only one image from such a list is added to the newly-created list or index.

### --amend, -a

If a manifest list named *listnameorindexname* already exists, modify the preexisting list instead of exiting with an error.  The contents of *listnameorindexname* are not modified if no \*imagename\*s are given.

### --annotation=*value*

Set an annotation on the newly-created image index.

### --tls-verify

Require HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting registries (default: **true**). If explicitly set to **true**, TLS verification is used. If set to **false**, TLS verification is not used. If not specified, TLS verification is used unless the target registry is listed as an insecure registry in **[containers-registries.conf(5)](/containers-registries.conf/5.md)**
