podman-pod-ps - Prints out information about pods

podman pod ps [options]

podman pod ps lists the 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

Status Description
Created No containers running nor stopped
Running at least one container is running
Stopped At least one container stopped and none running
Exited All containers stopped in pod
Dead Error retrieving state

--ctr-ids

Display the container IDs

--ctr-names

Display the container names

--ctr-status

Display the container statuses

--filter, -f=filter

Provide filter values.

The filters argument format is of key=value. If there is more than one filter, then pass multiple OPTIONS: --filter foo=bar --filter bif=baz.

Supported filters:

Filter Description
ctr-ids Filter by container ID within the pod.
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.
label Filter by container with (or without, in the case of label!=[...] 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.

.Labels All the labels assigned to the pod
.NumberOfContainers Show the number of containers attached to pod
.Cgroup Cgroup path of pod
.Created Creation time of pod
.InfraID Pod infra container ID
.Networks Show all networks connected to the infra container

--help, -h

Print usage statement

--latest, -l
