The command "podman-compose ps" is used to display the running state of containers managed by Podman Compose.

Podman Compose is a command-line tool that is similar to Docker Compose. It allows you to define and manage multi-container applications using a YAML file called a "Compose file." The Compose file describes the services, networks, and volumes for your application's containers.

When you run the "podman-compose ps" command, it reads the Compose file in the current directory and shows the status of all the containers defined in that file. The output typically includes information such as the container ID, the image used, the current status (e.g., running, exited), and the ports bindings.

This command is useful for quickly checking the running state of your containers and verifying whether your application is up and running as expected.

Note that "podman-compose" is a command-line tool specific to Podman, an open-source container runtime tool. If you are using Docker as your container runtime, you would use "docker-compose" instead. The functionality of the "docker-compose ps" command is similar to "podman-compose ps".
