🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's what running buildah info gives you back, and honestly? it's giving comprehensive 💜

$ buildah info
{
    "host": {
        "Distribution": {
            "distribution": "ubuntu",
            "version": "18.04"
        },
        "MemTotal": 16702980096,
        "MemFree": 309428224,
        "SwapFree": 2146693120,
        "SwapTotal": 2147479552,
        "arch": "amd64",
        "cpus": 4,
        "hostname": "localhost.localdomain",
        "kernel": "4.15.0-36-generic",
        "os": "linux",
        "rootless": false,
        "uptime": "91h 30m 59.9s (Approximately 3.79 days)"
    },
    "store": {
        "ContainerStore": {
            "number": 2
        },
        "GraphDriverName": "overlay",
        "GraphOptions": [
            "overlay.override_kernel_check=true"
        ],
        "GraphRoot": "/var/lib/containers/storage",
        "GraphStatus": {
            "Backing Filesystem": "extfs",
            "Native Overlay Diff": "true",
            "Supports d_type": "true"
        },
        "ImageStore": {
            "number": 1
        },
        "RunRoot": "/run/containers/storage"
    }
}

and then, if you're only here for the store part (main character energy, honestly), you run it with a format template and grab just that 🍓

$ buildah info --format={{".store"}}
map[GraphOptions:[overlay.override_kernel_check=true] GraphStatus:map[Backing Filesystem:extfs Supports d_type:true Native Overlay Diff:true] ImageStore:map[number:1] ContainerStore:map[number:2] GraphRoot:/var/lib/containers/storage RunRoot:/run/containers/storage GraphDriverName:overlay]
