    ### Do not truncate output (--no-trunc) {#no-trunc}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Running `docker ps --no-trunc` showing 2 linked containers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --no-trunc
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                        COMMAND                CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    4c01db0b339c        ubuntu:22.04                 bash                   17 seconds ago       Up 16 seconds       3300-3310/tcp       webapp
 | 
						|
    d7886598dbe2        crosbymichael/redis:latest   /redis-server --dir    33 minutes ago       Up 33 minutes       6379/tcp            redis,webapp/db
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ### Show both running and stopped containers (-a, --all) {#all}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `docker ps` command only shows running containers by default. To see all
 | 
						|
    containers, use the `--all` (or `-a`) flag:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps -a
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    `docker ps` groups exposed ports into a single range if possible. E.g., a
 | 
						|
    container that exposes TCP ports `100, 101, 102` displays `100-102/tcp` in
 | 
						|
    the `PORTS` column.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ### Show disk usage by container (--size) {#size}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `docker ps --size` (or `-s`) command displays two different on-disk-sizes for each container:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --size
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID   IMAGE          COMMAND                  CREATED        STATUS       PORTS   NAMES        SIZE
 | 
						|
    e90b8831a4b8   nginx          "/bin/bash -c 'mkdir "   11 weeks ago   Up 4 hours           my_nginx     35.58 kB (virtual 109.2 MB)
 | 
						|
    00c6131c5e30   telegraf:1.5   "/entrypoint.sh"         11 weeks ago   Up 11 weeks          my_telegraf  0 B (virtual 209.5 MB)
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
      * The "size" information shows the amount of data (on disk) that is used for the _writable_ layer of each container
 | 
						|
      * The "virtual size" is the total amount of disk-space used for the read-only _image_ data used by the container and the writable layer.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    For more information, refer to the [container size on disk](/storage/storagedriver/#container-size-on-disk) section.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ### Filtering (--filter) {#filter}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `--filter` (or `-f`) flag format is a `key=value` pair. If there is more
 | 
						|
    than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g. `--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"`)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The currently supported filters are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    | Filter                | Description                                                                                                                          |

 | 
						|
    | `exited`              | An integer representing the container's exit code. Only useful with `--all`.                                                         |
 | 
						|
    | `status`              | One of `created`, `restarting`, `running`, `removing`, `paused`, `exited`, or `dead`                                                 |
 | 
						|
    | `ancestor`            | Filters containers which share a given image as an ancestor. Expressed as `<image-name>[:<tag>]`,  `<image id>`, or `<image@digest>` |
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
    | `volume`              | Filters running containers which have mounted a given volume or bind mount.                                                          |
 | 
						|
    | `network`             | Filters running containers connected to a given network.                                                                             |
 | 
						|
    | `publish` or `expose` | Filters containers which publish or expose a given port. Expressed as `<port>[/<proto>]` or `<startport-endport>/[<proto>]`          |

 | 
						|
    | `is-task`             | Filters containers that are a "task" for a service. Boolean option (`true` or `false`)                                               |
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### label
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `label` filter matches containers based on the presence of a `label` alone or a `label` and a
 | 
						|
    value.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The following filter matches containers with the `color` label regardless of its value.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter "label=color"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES

 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The following filter matches containers with the `color` label with the `blue` value.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter "label=color=blue"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### name
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `name` filter matches on all or part of a container's name.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The following filter matches all containers with a name containing the `nostalgic_stallman` string.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter "name=nostalgic_stallman"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    9b6247364a03        busybox             "top"               2 minutes ago       Up 2 minutes                            nostalgic_stallman
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    You can also filter for a substring in a name as this shows:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter "name=nostalgic"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    715ebfcee040        busybox             "top"               3 seconds ago       Up 1 second                             i_am_nostalgic
 | 
						|
    9b6247364a03        busybox             "top"               7 minutes ago       Up 7 minutes                            nostalgic_stallman
 | 
						|
    673394ef1d4c        busybox             "top"               38 minutes ago      Up 38 minutes                           nostalgic_shockley
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### exited
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `exited` filter matches containers by exist status code. For example, to
 | 
						|
    filter for containers that have exited successfully:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps -a --filter 'exited=0'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE             COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS                   PORTS                      NAMES
 | 
						|
    ea09c3c82f6e        registry:latest   /srv/run.sh            2 weeks ago         Exited (0) 2 weeks ago   127.0.0.1:5000->5000/tcp   desperate_leakey
 | 
						|
    106ea823fe4e        fedora:latest     /bin/sh -c 'bash -l'   2 weeks ago         Exited (0) 2 weeks ago                              determined_albattani
 | 
						|
    48ee228c9464        fedora:20         bash                   2 weeks ago         Exited (0) 2 weeks ago                              tender_torvalds
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### Filter by exit signal
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    You can use a filter to locate containers that exited with status of `137`
 | 
						|
    meaning a `SIGKILL(9)` killed them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps -a --filter 'exited=137'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS                       PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    b3e1c0ed5bfe        ubuntu:latest       "sleep 1000"           12 seconds ago      Exited (137) 5 seconds ago                       grave_kowalevski
 | 
						|
    a2eb5558d669        redis:latest        "/entrypoint.sh redi   2 hours ago         Exited (137) 2 hours ago                         sharp_lalande
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Any of these events result in a `137` status:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    * the `init` process of the container is killed manually
 | 
						|
    * `docker kill` kills the container
 | 
						|
    * Docker daemon restarts which kills all running containers
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### status
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `status` filter matches containers by status. You can filter using
 | 
						|
    `created`, `restarting`, `running`, `removing`, `paused`, `exited` and `dead`. For example,
 | 
						|
    to filter for `running` containers:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter status=running
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                  COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    715ebfcee040        busybox                "top"               16 minutes ago      Up 16 minutes                           i_am_nostalgic
 | 
						|
    d5c976d3c462        busybox                "top"               23 minutes ago      Up 23 minutes                           top
 | 
						|
    9b6247364a03        busybox                "top"               24 minutes ago      Up 24 minutes                           nostalgic_stallman
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    To filter for `paused` containers:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter status=paused
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS                      PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    673394ef1d4c        busybox             "top"               About an hour ago   Up About an hour (Paused)                       nostalgic_shockley
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### ancestor
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `ancestor` filter matches containers based on its image or a descendant of
 | 
						|
    it. The filter supports the following image representation:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    - `image`
 | 
						|
    - `image:tag`
 | 
						|
    - `image:tag@digest`
 | 
						|
    - `short-id`
 | 
						|
    - `full-id`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    If you don't specify a `tag`, the `latest` tag is used. For example, to filter
 | 
						|
    for containers that use the latest `ubuntu` image:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter ancestor=ubuntu
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
    5d1e4a540723        ubuntu-c2           "top"               About a minute ago   Up About a minute                       admiring_sammet

						|
    82a598284012        ubuntu              "top"               3 minutes ago        Up 3 minutes                            sleepy_bose
 | 
						|
    bab2a34ba363        ubuntu              "top"               3 minutes ago        Up 3 minutes                            focused_yonath
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Match containers based on the `ubuntu-c1` image which, in this case, is a child
 | 
						|
    of `ubuntu`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter ancestor=ubuntu-c1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    919e1179bdb8        ubuntu-c1           "top"               About a minute ago   Up About a minute                       admiring_lovelace
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Match containers based on the `ubuntu` version `22.04` image:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter ancestor=ubuntu:22.04
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    82a598284012        ubuntu:22.04        "top"               3 minutes ago        Up 3 minutes                            sleepy_bose
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The following matches containers based on the layer `d0e008c6cf02` or an image
 | 
						|
    that have this layer in its layer stack.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter ancestor=d0e008c6cf02
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    82a598284012        ubuntu:22.04        "top"               3 minutes ago        Up 3 minutes                            sleepy_bose
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### Create time
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ##### before
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `before` filter shows only containers created before the container with
 | 
						|
    given id or name. For example, having these containers created:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE       COMMAND       CREATED              STATUS              PORTS              NAMES
 | 
						|
    9c3527ed70ce        busybox     "top"         14 seconds ago       Up 15 seconds                          desperate_dubinsky
 | 
						|
    4aace5031105        busybox     "top"         48 seconds ago       Up 49 seconds                          focused_hamilton
 | 
						|
    6e63f6ff38b0        busybox     "top"         About a minute ago   Up About a minute                      distracted_fermat
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Filtering with `before` would give:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps -f before=9c3527ed70ce
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE       COMMAND       CREATED              STATUS              PORTS              NAMES
 | 
						|
    4aace5031105        busybox     "top"         About a minute ago   Up About a minute                      focused_hamilton
 | 
						|
    6e63f6ff38b0        busybox     "top"         About a minute ago   Up About a minute                      distracted_fermat
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ##### since
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `since` filter shows only containers created since the container with given
 | 
						|
    id or name. For example, with the same containers as in `before` filter:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps -f since=6e63f6ff38b0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE       COMMAND       CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    9c3527ed70ce        busybox     "top"         10 minutes ago      Up 10 minutes                           desperate_dubinsky
 | 
						|
    4aace5031105        busybox     "top"         10 minutes ago      Up 10 minutes                           focused_hamilton
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### volume
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `volume` filter shows only containers that mount a specific volume or have
 | 
						|
    a volume mounted in a specific path:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter volume=remote-volume --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Mounts}}"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        MOUNTS
 | 
						|
    9c3527ed70ce        remote-volume
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter volume=/data --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Mounts}}"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        MOUNTS
 | 
						|
    9c3527ed70ce        remote-volume
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### network
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `network` filter shows only containers that are connected to a network with
 | 
						|
    a given name or id.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The following filter matches all containers that are connected to a network
 | 
						|
    with a name containing `net1`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker run -d --net=net1 --name=test1 ubuntu top
 | 
						|
    $ docker run -d --net=net2 --name=test2 ubuntu top
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter network=net1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE       COMMAND       CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    9d4893ed80fe        ubuntu      "top"         10 minutes ago      Up 10 minutes                           test1
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The network filter matches on both the network's name and id. The following
 | 
						|
    example shows all containers that are attached to the `net1` network, using
 | 
						|
    the network id as a filter;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker network inspect --format "{{.ID}}" net1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    8c0b4110ae930dbe26b258de9bc34a03f98056ed6f27f991d32919bfe401d7c5
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter network=8c0b4110ae930dbe26b258de9bc34a03f98056ed6f27f991d32919bfe401d7c5
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE       COMMAND       CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    9d4893ed80fe        ubuntu      "top"         10 minutes ago      Up 10 minutes                           test1
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #### publish and expose
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The `publish` and `expose` filters show only containers that have published or exposed port with a given port
 | 
						|
    number, port range, and/or protocol. The default protocol is `tcp` when not specified.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The following filter matches all containers that have published port of 80:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker run -d --publish=80 busybox top
 | 
						|
    $ docker run -d --expose=8080 busybox top
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps -a
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                   NAMES
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
    fc7e477723b7        busybox             "top"               50 seconds ago      Up 50 seconds       0.0.0.0:32768->80/tcp   admiring_roentgen
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter publish=80
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS                   NAMES
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The following filter matches all containers that have exposed TCP port in the range of `8000-8080`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter expose=8000-8080/tcp
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    9833437217a5        busybox             "top"               21 seconds ago      Up 19 seconds       8080/tcp            dreamy_mccarthy
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The following filter matches all containers that have exposed UDP port `80`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --filter publish=80/udp
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ### Format the output (--format) {#format}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The formatting option (`--format`) pretty-prints container output using a Go
 | 
						|
    template.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

    | `.Networks`   | Names of the networks attached to this container.                                               |
 | 
						|
 |

    When using the `--format` option, the `ps` command will either output the data
 | 
						|
    exactly as the template declares or, when using the `table` directive, includes
 | 
						|
    column headers as well.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the `ID` and
 | 
						|
    `Command` entries separated by a colon (`:`) for all running containers:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Command}}"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    a87ecb4f327c: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA
 | 
						|
    01946d9d34d8: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA
 | 
						|
    c1d3b0166030: /bin/sh -c yum -y up
 | 
						|
    41d50ecd2f57: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    To list all running containers with their labels in a table format you can use:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Labels}}"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    CONTAINER ID        LABELS
 | 
						|
    a87ecb4f327c        com.docker.swarm.node=ubuntu,com.docker.swarm.storage=ssd
 | 
						|
    01946d9d34d8
 | 
						|
    c1d3b0166030        com.docker.swarm.node=debian,com.docker.swarm.cpu=6
 | 
						|
    41d50ecd2f57        com.docker.swarm.node=fedora,com.docker.swarm.cpu=3,com.docker.swarm.storage=ssd
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    To list all running containers in JSON format, use the `json` directive:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    ```console
 | 
						|
    $ docker ps --format json
 | 
						|
    {"Command":"\"/docker-entrypoint.…\"","CreatedAt":"2021-03-10 00:15:05 +0100 CET","ID":"a762a2b37a1d","Image":"nginx","Labels":"maintainer=NGINX Docker Maintainers \u003cdocker-maint@nginx.com\u003e","LocalVolumes":"0","Mounts":"","Names":"boring_keldysh","Networks":"bridge","Ports":"80/tcp","RunningFor":"4 seconds ago","Size":"0B","State":"running","Status":"Up 3 seconds"}
