23 podman ps lists the running containers on the system. Use the --all
24 flag to view all the containers information. By default it lists:
25 • container id
28 • the name of the image the container is using
30 • the COMMAND the container is executing
32 • the time the container was created
34 • the status of the container
36 • port mappings the container is using
38 • alternative names for the container
40
44 --all, -a
45 Show all the containers created by Podman, default is only running con‐
46 tainers.
47 Note: Podman shares containers storage with other tools such as Buildah
50 and CRI-O. In some cases these external containers might also exist in
51 the same storage. Use the --external option to see these external con‐
52 tainers. External containers show the 'storage' status.
53 --external
56 Display external containers that are not controlled by Podman but are
57 stored in containers storage. These external containers are generally
58 created via other container technology such as Buildah or CRI-O and may
59 depend on the same container images that Podman is also using. Exter‐
60 nal containers are denoted with either a 'buildah' or 'storage' in the
61 COMMAND and STATUS column of the ps output.
62 --filter, -f
65 Filter what containers are shown in the output. Multiple filters can
66 be given with multiple uses of the --filter flag. Filters with the
67 same key work inclusive with the only exception being label which is
68 exclusive. Filters with different keys always work exclusive.
69 Valid filters are listed below:

158 --help, -h
160 Print usage statement
161 --last, -n
164 Print the n last created containers (all states)
165 --latest, -l
168 Show the latest container created (all states) (This option is not
169 available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (ex‐
170 cluding WSL2) machines)
171 --namespace, --ns
174 Display namespace information
175 --no-trunc
178 Do not truncate the output (default false).
179 --noheading
182 Omit the table headings from the listing of containers.
183 --pod, -p
186 Display the pods the containers are associated with
187 --quiet, -q
190 Print the numeric IDs of the containers only
191 --size, -s
194 Display the total file size
195 --sort=created
198 Sort by command, created, id, image, names, runningfor, size, or sta‐
199 tus", Note: Choosing size will sort by size of rootFs, not alphabeti‐
200 cally like the rest of the options
201 --sync
204 Force a sync of container state with the OCI runtime. In some cases, a
205 container's state in the runtime can become out of sync with Podman's
206 state. This will update Podman's state based on what the OCI runtime
207 reports. Forcibly syncing is much slower, but can resolve inconsistent
208 state issues.
209 --watch, -w
212 Refresh the output with current containers on an interval in seconds.
