Get container names in Docker

Question

I named my containers in Docker, but now I forgot the names ...

How can I list all the names used?

docker -psjust gives me running containers, but docker imagesgives me all the images, but not the names.

I just need a list where I can see what I called the different containers when I created them.

Answer 1

As @nwinkler already mentioned, you use docker ps -ato list all your containers, even stopped ones.

Now you can also use the Format in combination with docker ps -aas a convenient way to print only part of the information relevant to you.

, :

$ docker ps -a --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Name}}"
caee09882462: peaceful_saha

:

$ docker ps -a --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}"

CONTAINER ID        NAMES
caee09882462        peaceful_saha

:

$ docker ps -a --format "{{.Names}}"
peaceful_saha
