Ive been learning about Docker for the last months, I was watching one training tutorial on udemy. I did docker ps -a to check the containers I have (all of them) and for learning purposes I was looking for a command that gives me the full container id of a container.
Lets say that from this picture, I want the full container_id of: 8a7815ffd059
thanks in advance!
Directly with the ps command:
docker ps --no-trunc With inspect:
docker inspect 8a78 | grep Id Lets say that from this picture, I want the full container_id of: 8a7815ffd059
docker inspect 8a78 | grep Id This command should give you what you want:
docker container inspect --format "{{.Id}}" 8a78 and nothing besides the container id (e.g., no cruft to sort through)
If you do:
docker inspect ${the id you get in docker ps} You get a pretty big json with all the details about the container. The first key in the object is Id, which is what you are looking for
If you want the container id without the container running, this solves it:
docker inspect --format="{{.Id}}" <container_name> | sed 's/sha256://g'
