docker_aliases

Docker bash aliases - new bash shell commands to make working with Docker containers & images easier.

Installation

Save the docker_aliases.sh file to your home directory. Rename it to .docker_aliases:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dflock/docker_aliases/master/docker_aliases.sh > ~/.docker_aliases

Then and add this to your ~/.bashrc file somewhere:

if [ -f ~/.docker_aliases ]; then
  source ~/.docker_aliases
fi

Then either close & re-open your terminal windows or do this in each one to make it refresh:

$ . ~/.bashrc

Usage

Installing docker_aliases will get you some new commands to use in your bash terminal:

dps | docker_ps

Enhanced version of docker ps which outputs two extra columns:

• IP : The private IP address of the container
• RAM : The amount of RAM the processes inside the container are using

  $ dps

  CONTAINER ID        IMAGE           ... NAMES                 IP              RAM       
  0a3359f50829        23f1a66316b3    ... container-one         172.17.0.139         57 MB
  63a1b8ab9fb5        037e0afb42e4    ... container-two         172.17.0.137        490 MB
  c9bbee45d255        872fb65cee6d    ... container-three       172.17.0.135       1696 MB

Accepts the same command line switches as docker ps - i.e. dps -a works.

docker_wipe

The nuclear option: Delete all containers & images, remove everything in /var/lib/docker and restart docker.

NB: Does not prompt for confirmation.

$ docker_wipe

docker_all | dall

Perform a docker cmd on all docker containers:

$ docker_all start|stop|pause|unpause|<any valid docker cmd>
$ dall start|stop|pause|unpause|<any valid docker cmd>

docker_vol

List the volumes for a given container:

$ docker_vol <container name|id>

docker_mem

List the RAM used by a given container. Used by dps().

$ docker_mem <container name|id>

docker_id

Return the ID of the container, given the name.

$ docker_id <container_name>

docker_up

Return the status of the named container.

$ docker_up <container_name>

docker_ip

List the IP address for a given container: Used by dps().

$ docker_ip <container name|id>

docker_clean | dclean

Remove any dangling images & exited containers

$ docker_clean
$ dclean

docker_links | dlinks

List the links for a given container:

docker_links <container name|id>
dlinks <container name|id>
