Getting information on a container

To get information on a container use its ID or instance name:

Getting the IP address of a container instance

To get the IP address of a container use:

$ docker inspect --format='{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' d2cc496561d6
172.17.0.2

Listing 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}}' d2cc496561d6
  80/tcp -> 80

You can get more information about how to write a Go template from: https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/.

Getting information on an image

Use an image's ID or name (e.g., repository/name[:tag]) to get information on it.

$ docker inspect ded7cd95e059
