NAME

       podman-machine-list - List virtual machines

SYNOPSIS

       podman machine list [options]

       podman machine ls [options]

DESCRIPTION

       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))

OPTIONS

   --format=format
       Change  the  default  output  format.  This can be of a supported type like 'json' or a Go

   --help
       Print usage statement.

   --noheading, -n
       Omit the table headings from the listing.

   --quiet, -q
       Only print the name of the machine. This also implies no table heading is printed.

EXAMPLES

       List all Podman machines.

       $ podman machine list
       NAME                    VM TYPE     CREATED      LAST UP      CPUS        MEMORY      DISK SIZE
       podman-machine-default  qemu        2 weeks ago  2 weeks ago  1           2.147GB     10.74GB

       List all Podman machines using the specified table format.

       $ podman machine ls --format "table {{.Name}}\t{{.VMType}}\t{{.Created}}\t{{.LastUp}}"
       NAME                    VM TYPE     CREATED      LAST UP
       podman-machine-default  qemu        2 weeks ago  2 weeks ago

       List all Podman machines in json format.

       $ podman machine ls --format json
       [
           {
               "Name": "podman-machine-default",
