List the containers in the local repository. By default this shows only the running containers. ## Filters Filter output based on these conditions: - exited=<int> an exit code of <int> - label=<key> or label=<key>=<value> - status=(created|restarting|running|paused|exited|dead) - name=<string> a container's name - id=<ID> a container's ID - is-task=(true|false) - containers that are a task (part of a service managed by swarm) - before=(<container-name>|<container-id>) - since=(<container-name>|<container-id>) - ancestor=(<image-name>[:tag]|<image-id>|<image@digest>) - containers created from an image or a descendant. - volume=(<volume-name>|<mount-point-destination>) - network=(<network-name>|<network-id>) - containers connected to the provided network - health=(starting|healthy|unhealthy|none) - filters containers based on healthcheck status - publish=(<port>[/<proto>]|<startport-endport>/[<proto>]) - filters containers based on published ports - expose=(<port>[/<proto>]|<startport-endport>/[<proto>]) - filters containers based on exposed ports ## Format Pretty-print containers using a Go template. Valid placeholders: .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. # EXAMPLES ## Display all containers, including non-running $ docker container ls -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES a87ecb4f327c fedora:20 /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA 20 minutes ago Exit 0 desperate_brattain 01946d9d34d8 vpavlin/rhel7:latest /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA 33 minutes ago Exit 0 thirsty_bell c1d3b0166030 acffc0358b9e /bin/sh -c yum -y up 2 weeks ago Exit 1 determined_torvalds 41d50ecd2f57 fedora:20 /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA 2 weeks ago Exit 0 drunk_pike ## Display only IDs of all containers, including non-running $ docker container ls -a -q a87ecb4f327c 01946d9d34d8 c1d3b0166030 41d50ecd2f57 ## Display only IDs of all containers that have the name `determined_torvalds` $ docker container ls -a -q --filter=name=determined_torvalds c1d3b0166030 ## Display containers with their commands $ docker container ls --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Command}}" a87ecb4f327c: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA 01946d9d34d8: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA c1d3b0166030: /bin/sh -c yum -y up 41d50ecd2f57: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA ## Display containers with their labels in a table $ docker container ls --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Labels}}" CONTAINER ID LABELS a87ecb4f327c com.docker.swarm.node=ubuntu,com.docker.swarm.storage=ssd 01946d9d34d8 c1d3b0166030 com.docker.swarm.node=debian,com.docker.swarm.cpu=6 41d50ecd2f57 com.docker.swarm.node=fedora,com.docker.swarm.cpu=3,com.docker.swarm.storage=ssd ## Display containers with their node label in a table $ docker container ls --format 'table {{.ID}}\t{{(.Label "com.docker.swarm.node")}}' CONTAINER ID NODE a87ecb4f327c ubuntu 01946d9d34d8 c1d3b0166030 debian 41d50ecd2f57 fedora ## Display containers with `remote-volume` mounted $ docker container ls --filter volume=remote-volume --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Mounts}}" CONTAINER ID MOUNTS 9c3527ed70ce remote-volume ## Display containers with a volume mounted in `/data` $ docker container ls --filter volume=/data --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Mounts}}" CONTAINER ID MOUNTS 9c3527ed70ce remote-volume ## Display containers that have published port of 80: $ docker ps --filter publish=80 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES fc7e477723b7 busybox "top" About a minute ago Up About a minute 0.0.0.0:32768->80/tcp admiring_roentgen ## Display containers that have exposed TCP port in the range of `8000-8080`: $ docker ps --filter expose=8000-8080/tcp CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 9833437217a5 busybox "top" 21 seconds ago Up 19 seconds 8080/tcp dreamy_mccarthy
