How do I list containers in Docker

+1 vote

I know the command to list images in docker but it doesn't seem to be a corresponding docker containers.

Other than becoming root and looking into /var/lib/docker there doesn't seem a way to do that. Is there any other way around?

Can anyone help me with this query?

Thanks.

To view running containers use  below command:

docker ps

I you want to view all containers use the given command:

docker ps -a

If want to view latest created container (includes all states) use the given command:

docker ps -l

To show n last created containers (includes all states) use the given command:

docker ps -n=-1

To display total file sizes use the given command:

docker ps -s

The content presented above is from docker.com.

In the new version of Docker, commands are updated, and some management commands are added:

docker container ls

Is used to list all the running containers.

docker container ls -a

Is used to list all the containers created irrespective of its state.

I hope the above explanation would be helpful for you.
