How to obtain the Docker container s IP address from the host

Question

Is there any command I can use to display the container's IP address directly from the host machine?

Answer 1

This can be done by executing the following command:

docker inspect <container id> | grep "IPAddress"

You can also use the --format option of inspect to do this:

docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' container_name_or_id
