NAME

   podman-rename - Rename an existing container

SYNOPSIS

   podman rename container newname

   podman container rename container newname

DESCRIPTION

   Rename  changes  the name of an existing container.  The old name is freed, and is available for use.  This command can be run on containers in any state.  However, running containers
   may not fully receive the effects until they are restarted - for example, a running container may still use the old name in its logs.  At present, only containers are supported;  pods
   and volumes cannot be renamed.

OPTIONS EXAMPLES

   $ podman rename oldContainer aNewName

   $ podman rename 717716c00a6b testcontainer
