% podman-ps(1) ## NAME podman\-ps - Prints out information about containers ## SYNOPSIS **podman ps** [*options*] **podman container list** [*options*] **podman container ls** [*options*] **podman container ps** [*options*] **podman list** [*options*] **podman ls** [*options*] ## DESCRIPTION **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 ## OPTIONS **--all**, **-a** Show all the containers created by Podman, default is only running containers. Note: Podman shares containers storage with other tools such as Buildah and CRI-O. In some cases these `external` containers might also exist in the same storage. Use the `--storage` option to see these external containers. External containers show the 'storage' status. **--pod**, **-p** Display the pods the containers are associated with **--storage** Display external containers that are not controlled by Podman but are stored in containers storage. These external containers are generally created via other container technology such as Buildah or CRI-O and may depend on the same container images that Podman is also using. External containers are denoted with either a 'buildah' or 'storage' in the COMMAND and STATUS column of the ps output. Only used with the --all option. **--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 Name/ID | | .ImageID | Image ID | | .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. Results will be drawn from all containers, regardless of whether --all was given. 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. ## EXAMPLES ``` $ podman ps -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 02f65160e14ca redis:alpine "redis-server" 19 hours ago Exited (-1) 19 hours ago 6379/tcp k8s_podsandbox1-redis_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_0 69ed779d8ef9f redis:alpine "redis-server" 25 hours ago Created 6379/tcp k8s_container1_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_1 ``` ``` $ podman ps -a -s CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES SIZE 02f65160e14ca redis:alpine "redis-server" 20 hours ago Exited (-1) 20 hours ago 6379/tcp k8s_podsandbox1-redis_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_0 27.49 MB 69ed779d8ef9f redis:alpine "redis-server" 25 hours ago Created 6379/tcp k8s_container1_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_1 27.49 MB ``` ``` $ podman ps -a --format "{{.ID}} {{.Image}} {{.Labels}} {{.Mounts}}" 02f65160e14ca redis:alpine tier=backend proc,tmpfs,devpts,shm,mqueue,sysfs,cgroup,/var/run/,/var/run/ 69ed779d8ef9f redis:alpine batch=no,type=small proc,tmpfs,devpts,shm,mqueue,sysfs,cgroup,/var/run/,/var/run/ ``` ``` $ podman ps --ns -a CONTAINER ID NAMES PID CGROUP IPC MNT NET PIDNS USER UTS 3557d882a82e3 k8s_container2_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_1 29910 4026531835 4026532585 4026532593 4026532508 4026532595 4026531837 4026532594 09564cdae0bec k8s_container1_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_1 29851 4026531835 4026532585 4026532590 4026532508 4026532592 4026531837 4026532591 a31ebbee9cee7 k8s_podsandbox1-redis_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_0 29717 4026531835 4026532585 4026532587 4026532508 4026532589 4026531837 4026532588 ``` ``` $ podman ps -a --size --sort names CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 69ed779d8ef9f redis:alpine "redis-server" 25 hours ago Created 6379/tcp k8s_container1_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_1 02f65160e14ca redis:alpine "redis-server" 19 hours ago Exited (-1) 19 hours ago 6379/tcp k8s_podsandbox1-redis_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_0 ``` ``` $ podman ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 4089df24d4f3 docker.io/library/centos:latest /bin/bash 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes ago 0.0.0.0:80->8080/tcp, 0.0.0.0:2000-2006->2000-2006/tcp manyports 92f58933c28c docker.io/library/centos:latest /bin/bash 3 minutes ago Up 3 minutes ago 192.168.99.100:1000-1006->1000-1006/tcp zen_sanderson ``` ``` $ podman ps --storage -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 69ed779d8ef9f redis:alpine "redis-server" 25 hours ago Created 6379/tcp k8s_container1_podsandbox1_redhat.test.crio_redhat-test-crio_1 38a8a78596f9 docker.io/library/busybox:latest buildah 2 hours ago storage busybox-working-container fd7b786b5c32 docker.io/library/alpine:latest buildah 2 hours ago storage alpine-working-container f78620804e00 scratch buildah 2 hours ago storage working-container ``` ## ps Print a list of containers ## SEE ALSO podman(1), buildah(1), crio(8) ## HISTORY August 2017, Originally compiled by Urvashi Mohnani
