🦋 podman-pod-ps(1) 🦋
okay bestie, welcome to podman-pod-ps(1) from the General Commands Manual — this is the page about printing out info about pods, and we're gonna make it make sense. periodt. 💅
💖 NAME 💖
podman-pod-ps — Print out information about pods ✨
🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀
podman pod ps [options]🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸
podman pod ps lists all pods on the system. By default it lists:
- pod ID
- pod name
- the time the pod was created
- number of containers attached to pod
- container ID of the pod infra container
- status of pod as defined by the following table (we're doing it as a bullet list, but the tea is identical 🍵)
Here's the status rundown, no cap:
Created— No containers running nor stoppedRunning— at least one container is runningStopped— At least one container stopped and none runningExited— All containers stopped in podDead— Error retrieving state
✨ OPTIONS ✨
--ctr-ids— Display the container IDs--ctr-names— Display the container names--ctr-status— Display the container statuses--filter,-f=filter— Provide filter values.
If there is more than one filter, the --filter option should be passed multiple times: --filter label=test --filter until=10m.
Supported filters:
ctr-ids— Filter by container ID within the pod. (CID prefix match by default; accepts regex)ctr-names— Filter by container name within the pod.ctr-number— Filter by number of containers in the pod.ctr-status— Filter by container status within the pod.id— Filter by pod ID. (Prefix match by default; accepts regex)label— Filter by container with (or without, in the case oflabel!=[...]is used) the specified labels.name— Filter by pod name.network— Filter by network name or full ID of network.status— Filter by pod status.until— Filter by pods created before given timestamp.
The ctr-ids, ctr-names, id, name filters accept regex format.
The ctr-status filter accepts values: created, running, paused, stopped, exited, unknown.
The label filter accepts two formats. One is the label=key or label=key=value, which removes containers with the specified labels. The other format is the label!=key or label!=key=value, which removes containers without the specified labels.
The until filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to the machine's time.
The status filter accepts values: stopped, running, paused, exited, dead, created, degraded.
--format=format— Pretty-print containers to JSON or using a Go template
Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:
.Cgroup— Cgroup path of pod.ContainerIds— Comma-separated list of container IDs in the pod.ContainerNames— Comma-separated list of container names in the pod.ContainerStatuses— Comma-separated list of container statuses.Created— Creation time of pod.ID— Container ID.InfraID— Pod infra container ID.Label string— Specified label of the pod.Labels— All the labels assigned to the pod.Name— Name of pod.Networks— Show all networks connected to the infra container.NumberOfContainers— Show the number of containers attached to pod.Restarts— Show the total number of container restarts in a pod.Status— Status of pod
--help,-h— Print usage statement--latest,-l— Show the latest pod created (all states) (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)--namespace,--ns— Display namespace information of the pod--no-trunc— Do not truncate the output (default false).--noheading,-n— Omit the table headings from the listing.--quiet,-q— Print the numeric IDs of the pods only--sort— Sort by created, ID, name, status, or number of containers
Default: created
