This is a quick cheat-sheet for the most commonly used Docker Commands.

List Docker CLI commands

    docker
    docker container --help
    

Display Docker version and info

    docker --version
    docker version
    docker info
    

Excecute Docker image

    docker run hello-world
    

List Docker images

    docker image ls
    

List Docker containers (running, all, all in quiet mode)

    docker container ls
    docker container ls -all
    docker container ls -a -q
    

Start docker daemon

    docker -d
    

Start a container with an interactive shell

    docker run -ti <image_name> /bin/bash
    

“shell” into a running container (docker-1.3+)

    docker exec -ti <container_name> bash
    

inspect a running container

    docker inspect <container_name> (or <container_id>)
    

Get the process ID for a container

    docker inspect --format {{.State.Pid}} <container_name_or_ID>
    

List the current mounted volumes for a container (and pretty print)

    docker inspect --format='{{json .Volumes}}' <container_id> | python -mjson.tool
    

Copy files/folders between a container and your host

    docker cp foo.txt mycontainer:/foo.txt
    

List currently running containers

List all containers

    docker ps -a
    

List all images
