About:
Manifest-tool is a command-line utility that enables users to create and query Docker manifest lists (also known as multi-platform images). It allows developers to push and merge images for different architectures into a single manifest reference, streamlining the deployment of containerized applications across diverse hardware environments.
Key Features:
  • Create multi-platform manifest lists from existing images
  • Inspect and query remote manifest lists and annotations
  • Support for private registries and authentication
  • Push manifests directly to container registries
Use Cases:
  • Building and distributing multi-architecture container images
  • CI/CD pipeline integration for automated manifest creation
  • Auditing and verifying existing manifest lists in registries
Alternatives:
  • docker manifest – Docker's built-in CLI is deprecated and experimental; manifest-tool offers a stable, standalone alternative
  • crane – Go-based tool with broader registry operations; manifest-tool focuses specifically on manifest list creation
