💅 podman-pod-exists(1)

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual — it's podman-pod-exists, and it's about as low-stakes as a command gets, but it's SO useful for scripting, iykyk. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

podman-pod-exists — check if a pod exists in local storage 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

podman pod exists pod

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So like, podman pod exists checks if a pod exists in local storage. That's it. That's the whole job. 👑

You can feed it either the ID or the Name of the pod — both work, no cap. Podman returns an exit code of 0 when the pod is found. A 1 is returned otherwise. And if you get an exit code of 125, that means there was an issue accessing the local storage. 😭

fr fr, memorize those three numbers — they're the entire vibe check of this command.

---

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Check if specified pod exists in local storage (the pod does actually exist):

$ sudo podman pod exists web; echo $?
0

Check if specified pod exists in local storage (the pod does not actually exist):

$ sudo podman pod exists backend; echo $?
1
