How to List all Docker Container Names and their IPs 4

 in Docker  tagged container / docker / IP / list / network by

The following command will make a list with all docker container names and their respective IPs.
For the containers that have multiple IPs it will printed them on the same row as their name.


docker ps -q | xargs -n 1 docker inspect --format '{{ .Name }} {{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}} {{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' | sed 's#^/##';

How to update all pulled Docker images that are tagged as latest

 in Docker  tagged all images / docker / latest / pull by

Recently, we moved a client to Docker and we needed to give them a way to automagically update all “latest” Docker images.
Since Docker does not have a single command to update all pulled images we used this one-liner to update all images at once:


docker images --format "{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}" | grep ':latest' | xargs -L1 docker pull;

The above command will:

  1. Print all images in the format RepositoryName:Tag
  2. Then it will filter all lines that end with the suffix :latest (which is the tag we are interested in)
  3. Finally, for each result (which is one per line) it will be fed  via the command xargs -L1 to the command docker pull

Please note that you cannot really update an existing container using docker commands, what you need to do is actually:

  1. Stop the container whose image was updated
  2. Delete it
  3. Recreate it using the parameters of the previous container

As you understand, it is a good practice to save all of your data in volumes outside the container to make the update process easy.

For example, below you will find the commands using which we updated the jwilder/nginx-proxy and the jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion images along with the two containers that were using them:


docker container stop nginx-proxy nginx-letsencrypt;
docker container rm nginx-proxy nginx-letsencrypt;
docker run -d -p 443:443 \
     --name nginx-proxy \
     --net reverse-proxy \
     -v $HOME/certs:/etc/nginx/certs:ro \
     -v /etc/nginx/vhost.d \
     -v /usr/share/nginx/html \
     -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro \
     -v $HOME/my_proxy.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/my_proxy.conf:ro \
     --label com.github.jrcs.letsencrypt_nginx_proxy_companion.nginx_proxy=true \
     jwilder/nginx-proxy:latest;

docker run -d \
     --name nginx-letsencrypt \
     --net reverse-proxy \
     --volumes-from nginx-proxy \
     -v $HOME/certs:/etc/nginx/certs:rw \
     -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
     jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion:latest;
