inspect
Usage: docker inspect [OPTIONS] CONTAINER|IMAGE [CONTAINER|IMAGE...]
Return low-level information on a container or image
-f, --format="" Format the output using the given go template
--help=false Print usage
--type=container|image Return JSON for specified type, permissible
values are "image" or "container"
-s, --size=false Display total file sizes if the type is container
By default, this will render all results in a JSON array. If a format is specified, the given template will be executed for each result.
Go's text/template package describes all the details of the format.
Examples
Get an instance's IP address:
For the most part, you can pick out any field from the JSON in a fairly straightforward manner.
$ docker inspect --format='{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' $INSTANCE_ID
Get an instance's MAC Address:
For the most part, you can pick out any field from the JSON in a fairly straightforward manner.
$ docker inspect '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.MacAddress}}{{end}}' $INSTANCE_ID
Get an instance's log path:
$ docker inspect --format='{{.LogPath}}' $INSTANCE_ID
List All Port Bindings:
One can loop over arrays and maps in the results to produce simple text output:
$ docker inspect --format='{{range $p, $conf := .NetworkSettings.Ports}} {{$p}} -> {{(index $conf 0).HostPort}} {{end}}' $INSTANCE_ID
Find a Specific Port Mapping:
The .Field
syntax doesn't work when the field name begins with a
number, but the template language's index
function does. The
.NetworkSettings.Ports
section contains a map of the internal port
mappings to a list of external address/port objects. To grab just the
numeric public port, you use index
to find the specific port map, and
then index
0 contains the first object inside of that. Then we ask for
the HostPort
field to get the public address.
$ docker inspect --format='{{(index (index .NetworkSettings.Ports "8787/tcp") 0).HostPort}}' $INSTANCE_ID
Get config:
The .Field
syntax doesn't work when the field contains JSON data, but
the template language's custom json
function does. The .config
section contains complex JSON object, so to grab it as JSON, you use
json
to convert the configuration object into JSON.
$ docker inspect --format='{{json .config}}' $INSTANCE_ID
