NAME¶

lxc-list - List instances

SYNOPSIS¶

lxc list [:] [...] [flags]

DESCRIPTION¶

Description:
List instances

Default column layout: ns46tS
Fast column layout: nsacPt

A single keyword like "web" which will list any instance with a name starting by "web".
A regular expression on the instance name. (e.g. .*web.*01$).
A key/value pair referring to a configuration item. For those, the
namespace can be abbreviated to the smallest unambiguous identifier.
A key/value pair where the key is a shorthand. Multiple values must be delimited by ','. Available shorthands:
- type={instance type}
- status={instance current lifecycle status}
- architecture={instance architecture}
- location={location name}
- ipv4={ip or CIDR}
- ipv6={ip or CIDR}

Examples:
- "user.blah=abc" will list all instances with the "blah" user property set to "abc".
- "u.blah=abc" will do the same
- "security.privileged=true" will list all privileged instances
- "s.privileged=true" will do the same
- "type=container" will list all container instances
- "type=container status=running" will list all running container instances

A regular expression matching a configuration item or its value. (e.g. volatile.eth0.hwaddr=00:16:3e:.*).

When multiple filters are passed, they are added one on top of the other,
selecting instances which satisfy them all.

== Columns ==
The -c option takes a comma separated list of arguments that control
which instance attributes to output when displaying in table or csv
format.

Column arguments are either pre-defined shorthand chars (see below),
or (extended) config keys.

Commas between consecutive shorthand chars are optional.

Pre-defined column shorthand chars:
4 - IPv4 address
6 - IPv6 address
a - Architecture
b - Storage pool
c - Creation date
d - Description
D - disk usage
e - Project name
l - Last used date
m - Memory usage
M - Memory usage (%)
n - Name
N - Number of Processes
p - PID of the instance's init process
P - Profiles
s - State
S - Number of snapshots
t - Type (persistent or ephemeral)
u - CPU usage (in seconds)
L - Location of the instance (e.g. its cluster member)
f - Base Image Fingerprint (short)
F - Base Image Fingerprint (long)

Custom columns are defined with "[config:|devices:]key[:name][:maxWidth]":
KEY: The (extended) config or devices key to display. If [config:|devices:] is omitted then it defaults to config key.
NAME: Name to display in the column header.
Defaults to the key if not specified or empty.

MAXWIDTH: Max width of the column (longer results are truncated).
Defaults to -1 (unlimited). Use 0 to limit to the column header size.

OPTIONS¶

--all-projects[=false] Display instances from all projects

-c, --columns="ns46tSL" Columns``

--fast[=false] Fast mode (same as --columns=nsacPt)

-f, --format="table" Format (csv|json|table|yaml|compact)``

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS¶

--debug[=false] Show all debug messages

--force-local[=false] Force using the local unix socket

-h, --help[=false] Print help

--project="" Override the source project``

-q, --quiet[=false] Don't show progress information

--sub-commands[=false] Use with help or --help to view sub-commands

-v, --verbose[=false] Show all information messages

--version[=false] Print version number

EXAMPLE¶

  lxc list -c nFs46,volatile.eth0.hwaddr:MAC,config:image.os,devices:eth0.parent:ETHP


    Show instances using the "NAME", "BASE IMAGE", "STATE", "IPV4", "IPV6" and "MAC" columns.


    "BASE IMAGE", "MAC" and "IMAGE OS" are custom columns generated from instance configuration keys.


    "ETHP" is a custom column generated from a device key.


  lxc list -c ns,user.comment:comment


    List instances with their running state and user comment.
