Segment

Add the following config item to your Powerline segments config file, see Powerline Segment reference for more info.

The segment tries to connect to the libpod service at unix:///run/user/1000/podman.sock, which is where it lives on most Unix systems. You can change the URI with the uri argument.

Additionally, you can hide containers with specific states e.g. don't show exited containers by adding it to the ignore_states argument list. The valid states are created, exited, paused, running, and unknown.

{
  "function": "powerline_podman.podman",
  "priority": 30,
  "args": {
    "uri": "unix:///run/user/1000/podman.sock",
    "ignore_states": ["exited", "paused"]
  }
}

• If adding the segment to the shell, edit ~/.config/powerline/themes/shell/default.json.
• If adding the segment to the tmux status line, edit ~/.config/powerline/themes/tmux/default.json.
