podman: Create a container from an image, with a custom name.

podman

$ podman run --name ${container_name} ${image}

try on your machine

This command is using the "podman run" command to execute a container with a specific name and image.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

"podman run" is the command to start and run a container using Podman, which is a command-line tool for managing containers.
"--name ${container_name}" is an option that sets the name of the container to a specific value. The "${container_name}" is likely a variable that holds the desired name for the container. By giving the container a name, it becomes easier to manage or reference it later.
"${image}" is another variable assuming it holds the name or ID of the container image to be used for creating this container. A container image typically contains the necessary software and dependencies to run a specific application or service inside the container.

In summary, this command is creating and running a container using the specified image. The container is given a name using the value stored in the "${container_name}" variable.
