The following command can be used to show a full list of Docker containers, irrespective of state. If you want to see only the running containers omit the -a (stands for all) option:
docker ps -aThe -f or --filter flags are applicable for the preceding command. -f or --filter, when used along with docker ps [OPTIONS], the list of containers, will be filtered as per the filtering condition provided along with this flag. For example, the following command shows details of the container matching the name:
docker ps --filter name=nostalgic_norman.A few more valid flags for the filter option are exited=0, status=paused, and ancestor=windowsservercore. The following options are also valid while listing images:
-n: Shows the number of containers in any state-l: Shows the latest container created-s: Shows total file size
The usage is very similar to the filter flag shown previously.
