podman ps lists the running containers on the system. Use the --all flag to view all the containers information. By default it lists:
- container id
- the name of the image the container is using
- the COMMAND the container is executing
- the time the container was created
- the status of the container
- port mappings the container is using
- alternative names for the container
--all, -a
Show all the containers, default is only running containers
--pod, -p
Display the pods the containers are associated with
--no-trunc
Display the extended information
--quiet, -q
Print the numeric IDs of the containers only
--format=format
Pretty-print containers to JSON or using a Go template
Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
| .ID | Container ID |
| .Image | Image ID/Name |
| .Command | Quoted command used |
| .CreatedAt | Creation time for container |
| .RunningFor | Time elapsed since container was started |
| .Status | Status of container |
| .Pod | Pod the container is associated with |
| .Ports | Exposed ports |
| .Size | Size of container |
| .Names | Name of container |
| .Labels | All the labels assigned to the container |
| .Mounts | Volumes mounted in the container |
--sort
Sort by command, created, id, image, names, runningfor, size, or status", Note: Choosing size will sort by size of rootFs, not alphabetically like the rest of the options Default: created
--size, -s
Display the total file size
--last, -n
Print the n last created containers (all states)
--latest, -l
Show the latest container created (all states)
The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
--namespace, --ns
Display namespace information
--filter, -f
Filter what containers are shown in the output. Multiple filters can be given with multiple uses of the --filter flag. If multiple filters are given, only containers which match all of the given filters will be shown.
Valid filters are listed below:
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| id | [ID] Container's ID |
| name | [Name] Container's name |
| label | [Key] or [Key=Value] Label assigned to a container |
| exited | [Int] Container's exit code |
| status | [Status] Container's status: 'created', 'exited', 'paused', 'running', 'unknown' |
| ancestor | [ImageName] Image or descendant used to create container |
| before | [ID] or [Name] Containers created before this container |
| since | [ID] or [Name] Containers created since this container |
| volume | [VolumeName] or [MountpointDestination] Volume mounted in container |
| health | [Status] healthy or unhealthy |
--help, -h
Print usage statement
--sync
Force a sync of container state with the OCI runtime. In some cases, a container's state in the runtime can become out of sync with Podman's state. This will update Podman's state based on what the OCI runtime reports. Forcibly syncing is much slower, but can resolve inconsistent state issues.
--watch, -w
Refresh the output with current containers on an interval in seconds.
