NAME
docker-container-ls - List containers
SYNOPSIS
docker container ls [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
List the containers in the local repository. By default this shows only
the running containers.
Filters
Filter output based on these conditions:
- ancestor=(<image-name>[:tag]|<image-id>| <image@digest>)
containers created from an image or a descendant.
- before=(<container-name>|<container-id>)
- expose=(<port>[/<proto>]|<startport-endport>/[<proto>])
- exited=<int> an exit code of <int>
- health=(starting|healthy|unhealthy|none)
- id=<ID> a container's ID
- isolation=(default|process|hyperv) (Windows daemon only)
- is-task=(true|false)
- label=<key> or label=<key>=<value>
- name=<string> a container's name
- network=(<network-id>|<network-name>)
- publish=(<port>[/<proto>]|<startport-endport>/[<proto>])
- since=(<container-name>|<container-id>)
- status=(created|restarting|removing|running|paused|exited)
- volume=(<volume name>|<mount point destination>)
Format
The formatting option (--format) pretty-prints container output using a
Go template.
Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:
- .ID - Container ID.
- .Image - Image ID.
- .Command - Quoted command.
- .CreatedAt - Time when the container was created.
- .RunningFor - Elapsed time since the container was started.
- .Ports - Exposed ports.
- .Status - Container status.
- .Size - Container disk size.
- .Names - Container names.
- .Labels - All labels assigned to the container.
- .Label - Value of a specific label for this container.
For example '{{.Label "com.docker.swarm.cpu"}}'.
- .Mounts - Names of the volumes mounted in this container.
- .Networks - Names of the networks attached to this container.
