podman-machine-list - List virtual machines
podman machine list [options]
podman machine ls [options]
List Podman managed virtual machines.
Podman on MacOS and Windows requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux - containers do not run on any other OS because containers’ core functionality are tied to the Linux kernel. Podman machine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, but can be optionally used on Linux.
Rootless only.
NOTE: The podman-machine configuration file is managed under the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/podman/machine/ directory. Changing the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable while the machines are running can lead to unexpected behavior. (see podman(1))
Change the default output format. This can be of a supported type like ’json’ or a Go template. Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:
Print usage statement.
Omit the table headings from the listing.
Only print the name of the machine. This also implies no table heading is printed.
