NAME
podman-logout - Log out of a container registrySYNOPSIS
podman logout [options] registryDESCRIPTION
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 [reg‐
istries.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_RUN‐
TIME_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 set‐
ting the all flag.

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 REG‐
ISTRY_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
