podman: Pull an image from a registry (defaults to Docker Hub).
$ podman pull ${image}
try on your machine

The command "podman pull ${image}" is used to download a Docker image from a remote container registry and store it locally in your host system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "podman pull": This is the specific command to pull images using Podman, which is a container engine similar to Docker. "podman" is the Podman command-line tool, and "pull" is the action to download an image.

  • "${image}": This is a placeholder or variable that represents the name of the image you want to pull. The value of "${image}" should be replaced with the actual name of the image you wish to download. For example, if you wanted to download the Ubuntu image, you would replace "${image}" with "ubuntu".

By executing this command, Podman will fetch the image referenced by "${image}" from a remote registry (like Docker Hub) and store it locally on your system. You can then use the pulled image to create and run containers.
