## [Extracting the list of container registries with a Go template](#Extracting_the_list_of_container_registries_with_a_Go_template)

If shell completion is enabled, type **podman info --format={{.** and then press **\[TAB]** twice.

```
$ podman info --format={{.
{{.Host.         {{.Plugins.      {{.Registries}}  {{.Store.        {{.Version.
```

Press **R** **\[TAB]** **\[ENTER]** to print the registries information.

```
$ podman info -f {{.Registries}}
map[search:[registry.fedoraproject.org registry.access.redhat.com docker.io quay.io]]
$
```

The output still contains a map and an array. The map value can be extracted with

```
$ podman info -f '{{index .Registries "search"}}'
[registry.fedoraproject.org registry.access.redhat.com docker.io quay.io]
```

The array can be printed as one entry per line

```
$ podman info -f '{{range index .Registries "search"}}{{.}}\n{{end}}'
registry.fedoraproject.org
registry.access.redhat.com
docker.io
quay.io
```

## [Extracting the list of container registries from JSON with jq](#Extracting_the_list_of_container_registries_from_JSON_with_jq)

The command-line JSON processor **jq** can be used to extract the list of container registries.

```
$ podman info -f json | jq '.registries["search"]'
[


  "registry.fedoraproject.org",


  "registry.access.redhat.com",


  "docker.io",


  "quay.io"
]
```

The array can be printed as one entry per line

```
$ podman info -f json | jq -r '.registries["search"] | .[]'
registry.fedoraproject.org
registry.access.redhat.com
docker.io
quay.io
```

Note, the Go template struct fields start with upper case. When running **podman info** or **podman info --format=json**, the same names start with lower case.
