Which command prints the IP address of the most recently started container?

• A. sudo podman inspect -l -f "{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}"
• B. sudo podman inspect -l -f '{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}'
• C. sudo podman inspect -l -f "{{.IPAddress}}"
• D. sudo podman inspect -l -f "{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}-X"

Answer: (A)

You pull the IP address by querying the latest container’s inspection data and formatting the output to show only the IP field. The -l option selects the most recently started container, and the -f option uses a Go template to extract the value from the container’s networking info. Specifically, the template {{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}} targets the IP address assigned to the container’s primary network. Put together, this prints just that IP, which is ideal for quick checks or automation. A concrete way to run it is: sudo podman inspect -l -f "{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}". Other variants either reference a different path or mix up the formatting, so they won’t reliably return the container’s IP address.
