How do you list volumes in docker containers?
Use docker ps to get the container id.
Then docker inspect -f '{{ .Mounts }}' containerid
Example:
terminal 1
$ docker run -it -v /tmp:/tmp ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
terminal 2
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
ddb7b55902cc ubuntu:14.04 "/bin/bash" About a minute ago Up About a minute distracted_banach
$ docker inspect -f "{{ .Mounts }}" ddb7
map[/tmp:/tmp]
The output
map[/tmp:/tmp]
is, apparently, due to the use of the Go language to implement the docker command tools.
The docker inspect command without the -f format is quite verbose. Since it is JSON you could pipe it to python or nodejs and extract whatever you needed.
paul@home:~$ docker inspect ddb7

docker history <image name> will show the layers baked into an image. Unfortunately, docker history seems hobbled by its formatting and lack of options to choose what is displayed.
You can choose terse and verbose formats, via the --no-trunc flag.

With docker 1.10, you now have new commands for data-volume containers.
(for regular containers, see the next section, for docker 1.8+):
docker volume lsdocker volume inspect
With docker 1.8.1 (August 2015), a docker inspect -f '{{ .Volumes }}' containerid would be empty!
You now need to check Mounts, which is a list of mounted paths like:
"Mounts": [
{
"Name": "7ced22ebb63b78823f71cf33f9a7e1915abe4595fcd4f067084f7c4e8cc1afa2",
"Source": "/mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/volumes/7ced22ebb63b78823f71cf33f9a7e1915abe4595fcd4f067084f7c4e8cc1afa2/_data",
"Destination": "/home/git/repositories",
"Driver": "local",
"Mode": "",
"RW": true
}
],
If you want the path of the first mount (for instance), that would be (using index 0):
docker inspect -f '{{ (index .Mounts 0).Source }}' containerid
As Mike Mitterer comments below:
Pretty print the whole thing:
docker inspect -f '{{ json .Mounts }}' containerid | python -m json.tool
Or, as commented by Mitja, use the jq command.
docker inspect -f '{{ json .Mounts }}' containerid | jq
