How to Configure Default Search Registries in Podman

podman search httpd --filter is-automated=false --filter is-official=false --filter stars=0 --tls-verify=false

When we run the command `podman search` it finds and gets some images from some registries. So how podman selects the registries it will search into?

So this question’s answer is hiding in a conf file named registries.conf

You can find this file in /etc/containers directory.

For default search registries you can configure this file like below.

vi /etc/containers/registries.conf

[registries.search]
registries = ["registry.access.redhat.com", "quay.io"]

and if you want to disable tls-verify you can add the entry below in same file.

[registries.insecure]
registries = ['yourregistry:yourport']

now you can run podman search command without tls-verify .

podman search httpd --filter is-automated=false --filter is-official=false --filter stars=0
