Command to list docker containers

#docker #commands #codever #snippets

To list the docker running containers use the following command:

docker ps
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To show all running containers use the -a (--all) option:

docker ps -a
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you want to filter, by name for example you can use the --filter option with the name=containing_text value

$ docker ps --filter "name=codever" 8a01ae8ef526 jboss/keycloak:6.0.1 "/opt/jboss/tools/do…" 3 days ago Exited (255) 10 hours ago 0.0.0.0:8480->8080/tcp codever-keycloak f7c51c81dc4f mongo:3.4 "docker-entrypoint.s…" 3 days ago Exited (255) 10 hours ago 0.0.0.0:27017->27017/tcp codever-mongo 5b2f88b9fe57 postgres "docker-entrypoint.s…" 3 days ago Exited (255) 10 hours ago 5432/tcp codever-postgres
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You could also obtain similar results if piping the docker ps command to grep - docker ps -a | grep codever
