docker: Inspect information about a machine.

docker-machine

$ docker-machine inspect ${name}

try on your machine

The docker-machine inspect command in Docker is used to retrieve detailed information about a Docker machine. The ${name} placeholder in the command represents the name of the Docker machine (e.g., my-machine), which you need to replace with the actual name of the machine you want to inspect.

When you execute the command docker-machine inspect ${name}, Docker retrieves and displays a JSON-formatted output that contains various details related to the specified Docker machine. This includes the machine's configuration, environment variables, Docker version, driver information, and more.

By inspecting a Docker machine, you can gather essential information about its setup and configuration, which can be useful for troubleshooting purposes, monitoring, or gaining a better understanding of its resources.
