podman-run: Run command in a new container with published ports.
$ podman run --publish ${host_port}:${container_port} ${image:tag} ${command}
try on your machine

The command you provided is using the "podman run" command to execute a container. Here is the breakdown of each part of the command:

  • podman run: This is the command used to run containers using Podman.

  • --publish ${host_port}:${container_port}: This is an option used to specify port mapping between the host machine and the container. The ${host_port} represents the port number on the host machine, and ${container_port} represents the port number within the container. By specifying this option, you can access the container's service running on ${container_port} from the specified ${host_port} on your host machine.

  • ${image:tag}: This specifies the container image to run. ${image} represents the name of the image, and ${tag} represents a specific version or tag of the image. For example, the image could be "ubuntu" and the tag could be "latest" to run the latest version of the Ubuntu image.

  • ${command}: This is an optional parameter used to specify a command to be executed inside the container. It can be any valid command that you want to run within the container.

Overall, this command runs a container using the Podman runtime, maps a port on the host machine to a port inside the container, specifies the container image and tag, and optionally provides a command to run inside the container.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
