podman-system-df(1) General Commands Manual podman-system-df(1)

NAME

podman-system-df - Show podman disk usage

SYNOPSIS

podman system df [options]

DESCRIPTION

Show podman disk usage for images, containers and volumes.

Note: The RECLAIMABLE size that is reported for images can be incorrect. It might report that it can reclaim more than a prune would actually free. This will happen if you are using different images that share some layers.

OPTIONS

--format=format

Pretty-print images using a Go template or JSON. This flag is not allowed in combination with --verbose

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder Description
.Active Indicates whether volume is in use
.RawReclaimable Raw reclaimable size of each Type
.RawSize Raw size of each type
.Reclaimable Reclaimable size or each type (human-readable)
.Size Size of each type (human-readable)
.Total Total items for each type
.Type Type of data

--verbose, -v
