## 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)](podman.1.md))

| .CPUs | Number of CPUs |
| .Created | Time since VM creation |
| .Default | Is default machine |
| .DiskSize | Disk size of machine |

| .LastUp | Time since the VM was last run |
| .Memory | Allocated memory for machine |
| .Name | VM name |
| .Port | SSH Port to use to connect to VM |
| .RemoteUsername | VM Username for rootless Podman |
