How do I list all containers in a user-defined docker network?
You can list all networks with:
docker network ls
And inspect one network to see its hosts (containers)
docker network inspect <network-id>
Inspecting that a container, you can see which network it is connected to:
docker inspect <container-id>
More info in the docs: https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/work-with-networks/#create-networks
Another way using pure bash and no python - easier to remember for me
docker network inspect YOUR_NETWORK_ID | grep Name | tail -n +2 | cut -d':' -f2 | tr -d ',"'
Sample output
container1
container2
docker network inspect \
-f '{{ range $key, $value := .Containers }}{{ printf "%s\n" $key}}{{ end }}' \
<network-id>
will give a newline delimited list of the container hashes belonging to the network-id
network.
You can adjust the printf
format to get other syntax (comma-separated, tab-separated, container id+name, etc). For example:
$ docker network inspect \
-f '{{ range $key, $value := .Containers }}{{printf "%s: %s\n" $key .Name}}{{ end }}' \
