command: docker container ls
aliases: ps, list
short: List containers
long: |
  List the containers in the local repository. By default this shows only
  the running containers.

  ## Filters

  Filter output based on these conditions:
     - exited=<int> an exit code of <int>
     - label=<key> or label=<key>=<value>
     - status=(created|restarting|running|paused|exited|dead)
     - name=<string> a container's name
     - id=<ID> a container's ID
     - is-task=(true|false) - containers that are a task (part of a service managed by swarm)
     - before=(<container-name>|<container-id>)
     - since=(<container-name>|<container-id>)
     - ancestor=(<image-name>[:tag]|<image-id>|<image@digest>) - containers created from an image or a descendant.
     - volume=(<volume-name>|<mount-point-destination>)
     - network=(<network-name>|<network-id>) - containers connected to the provided network
     - health=(starting|healthy|unhealthy|none) - filters containers based on healthcheck status

  ## Format

     Pretty-print containers using a Go template.
     Valid placeholders:
        .ID - Container ID
        .Image - Image ID
        .Command - Quoted command
        .CreatedAt - Time when the container was created.
        .RunningFor - Elapsed time since the container was started.
        .Ports - Exposed ports.
        .Status - Container status.
        .Size - Container disk size.
        .Names - Container names.
        .Labels - All labels assigned to the container.
        .Label - Value of a specific label for this container. For example `{{.Label "com.docker.swarm.cpu"}}`
        .Mounts - Names of the volumes mounted in this container.
