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.
