You should also usually get some sort of:

Storing signatures
Loaded image(s): 

after

Writing manifest to image destination


if this doesn't show up, then the image doesn't actually get stored. I remember there being some compatibility issues over certain types/sizes of images w/ scp. Can you throw a `-v` in there to see if it tells you anything else?

I have an image on RH 8.x which runs fine (containing a SuSE SLES and
PostgreSQL server):

$ podman images
REPOSITORY                      TAG         IMAGE ID      CREATED       SIZE
localhost/suse                  latest      c87c80c0911a  26 hours ago  6.31 GB
registry.suse.com/bci/bci-base  15.4        5bd0e4152d92  2 weeks ago   123 MB

I created a connection to another host as:

$ podman system connection list
Name        URI                                                                         Identity    Default
srap57      ssh://apitzm@srap57dxr1.dev.xxxxxx.org:22/run/user/200007/podman/podman.sock              true

To the other host I can SSH fine based on RSA public/private keys and
podman is installed there to:

$ ssh apitzm@srap57dxr1.dev.xxxxxx.org
Last login: Wed Jan 10 14:05:12 2024 from 10.201.64.28
apitzm@srap57dxr1:~> podman version

API Version:  4.7.2
Go Version:   go1.21.4
Built:        Wed Nov  1 13:00:00 2023

When I now copy over the image with:

$ podman image scp c87c80c0911a srap57::

it transfers the ~6 GByte (I can see them in /tmp as a big tar file of
tar files) and at the end it says:

...
Writing manifest to image destination
$

(i.e. the shell prompt is there again)

But on srap57dxr1.dev.xxxxxx.org I can't see anything of the image at the
end.

What I've done wrong?

Thanks
