This is because containers are Linux - 16 containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality are 17 tied to the Linux kernel. Podman machine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, 18 but can be optionally used on Linux. 19 20 Rootless only. 21 22 NOTE: The podman-machine configuration file is managed under the 23 `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/podman/machine/` directory. Changing the `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` 24 environment variable while the machines are running can lead to unexpected behavior. 25 (see [podman(1)](podman.1.md)) 26 27 ## OPTIONS 28 29 #### **--format**=*format* 30 31 Change the default output format. This can be of a supported type like 'json' 32 or a Go template. 33 Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below: 34 35 | **Placeholder** | **Description** | 36 | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | 37 | .CPUs | Number of CPUs | 38 | .Created | Time since VM creation | 39 | .Default | Is default machine | 40 | .DiskSize | Disk size of machine | 41 | .IdentityPath | Path to ssh identity file | 42 | .LastUp | Time since the VM was last run | 43 | .Memory | Allocated memory for machine | 44 | .Name | VM name | 45 | .Port | SSH Port to use to connect to VM | 46 | .RemoteUsername | VM Username for rootless Podman | 47 | .Running | Is machine running | 48 | .Stream | Stream name | 49 | .UserModeNetworking | Whether machine uses user-mode networking | 50 | .VMType | VM type | 51 52 #### **--help** 53 54 Print usage statement. 55 56 @@option noheading 57 58 #### **--quiet**, **-q** 59 60 Only print the name of the machine. This also implies no table heading 61 is printed. 62 63 ## EXAMPLES 64 65 List all Podman machines. 66 ``` 67 $ podman machine list 68 NAME VM TYPE CREATED LAST UP CPUS MEMORY DISK SIZE 69 podman-machine-default qemu 2 weeks ago 2 weeks ago 1 2.147GB 10.74GB 70 ``` 71 72 List all Podman machines using the specified table format. 73 ``` 74 $ podman machine ls --format "table {{.Name}}\t{{.VMType}}\t{{.Created}}\t{{.LastUp}}" 75 NAME VM TYPE CREATED LAST UP 76 podman-machine-default qemu 2 weeks ago 2 weeks ago 77 ``` 78 79 List all Podman machines in json format. 80 ``` 81 $ podman machine ls --format json 82 [ 83 { 84 "Name": "podman-machine-default", 85 "Default": false, 86 "Created": "2021-12-27T10:36:14.373347492-05:00", 87 "Running": false, 88 "LastUp": "2021-12-27T11:22:50.17333371-05:00", 89 "Stream": "default", 90 "VMType": "qemu", 91 "CPUs": 1, 92 "Memory": "2147483648", 93 "DiskSize": "10737418240" 94 } 95 ] 96 ``` 97 98 ## SEE ALSO 99 **[podman(1)](podman.1.md)**, **[podman-machine(1)](podman-machine.1.md)** 100 101 ## HISTORY 102 March 2021, Originally compiled by Ashley Cui <acui@redhat.com>
