NAME

       docker-inspect - Return low-level information on Docker objects

SYNOPSIS

       docker inspect [OPTIONS] NAME|ID [NAME|ID...]

DESCRIPTION

       This displays the low-level information on Docker object(s) (e.g. container, image, volume,network, node,
       service,  or task) identified by name or ID. By default, this will render all results in a JSON array. If
       the container and image have the same name, this will return container JSON for unspecified  type.  If  a
       format is specified, the given template will be executed for each result.

EXAMPLES

       Get  information  about  an  image when image name conflicts with the container name, e.g. both image and
       container are named rhel7:

       $ docker inspect --type=image rhel7
       [
       {
        "Id": "fe01a428b9d9de35d29531e9994157978e8c48fa693e1bf1d221dffbbb67b170",
        "Parent": "10acc31def5d6f249b548e01e8ffbaccfd61af0240c17315a7ad393d022c5ca2",
        ....
       }
       ]

Getting information on a container

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

       $ docker inspect d2cc496561d6
       [{
       "Id": "d2cc496561d6d520cbc0236b4ba88c362c446a7619992123f11c809cded25b47",

Getting the IP address of a container instance

       To get the IP address of a container use:

       $ docker inspect --format='{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' 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://pkg.go.dev/text/template.

Getting size information on a container

       $ docker inspect -s d2cc496561d6
       [
       {
       ....
       "SizeRw": 0,
       "SizeRootFs": 972,
       ....
       }
       ]

Getting information on an image

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

       $ docker inspect ded7cd95e059
       [{
       "Id": "ded7cd95e059788f2586a51c275a4f151653779d6a7f4dad77c2bd34601d94e4",
