The multipass list command lists available instances or snapshots. With no options, it presents a generic view of instances, with some of their properties; for example:
Name State IPv4 Release
primary SUSPENDED -- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
calm-squirrel RUNNING 10.218.69.109 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
You can also call it with the --snapshots flag to get an overview of available snapshots. Here’s a sample output of multipass list --snapshots:
Instance Snapshot Parent Comment
calm-squirrel snapshot1 -- --
calm-squirrel snapshot3 snapshot1 Before restoring snapshot2
The multipass list command will truncate long snapshot comments, as well as those containing newlines. You can use info to view them in full.
You can also use the --format option to get machine-readable output (CSV, JSON, or YAML). For example, multipass list --format yaml:
primary:
- state: SUSPENDED
ipv4:
- ""
release: 18.04 LTS
calm-squirrel:
- state: RUNNING
ipv4:
- 10.218.69.109
release: 16.04 LTS
The full multipass help list output explains the available options:
