docker: Display a container's IP address.
$ docker inspect --format='${range -NetworkSettings-Networks}${-IPAddress}${end}' ${container}
try on your machine
The command "docker inspect --format='${range -NetworkSettings-Networks}${-IPAddress}${end}' ${container}" is used to retrieve the IP address of a Docker container.
Let's break down the command:
- "docker inspect" is a Docker CLI command that is used to obtain detailed information about Docker objects, including containers.
- "--format='${range -NetworkSettings-Networks}${-IPAddress}${end}'" specifies the format in which the output of the command should be presented. In this case, it uses a Go template syntax to extract the IP address from the container's network settings.
- "${container}" is a placeholder for the actual name or ID of the Docker container you want to inspect.
So, when you run this command with the name or ID of a specific Docker container, it will retrieve and display the IP address of that container's network.
