I’m running: crictl version v1.28.0
When I run ‘crictl run docker.io/library/nginx:latest’ I just get the output of the help page like I’m running from ‘crictl run help’.
The indication from this output is that you know have to pass a .json or .yaml file with this command, is this now the case?
‘crictl run [command options] container-config.[json|yaml] pod-config.[json|yaml]’
Thanks Pete
