Docker Tips & Tricks
These are some useful random tricks I’ve learned about Docker over the years.
Getting Shell Access to a Running Container
docker exec -it containername /bin/bash
Remove All Running Containers
This command works by removing all running containers with force. The command “docker ps -aq” returns all running containers and only displays the container ID.
docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq)
Copying Files Into the Container

Get the IP Address of a Running Container
The Docker Inspect command allows querying very specific information such as the IP address from the running container.
docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.Networks.nat.IPAddress }}" nugetserver
Querying Images Using HTTPie
This command will query the Microsoft Container Registry (MCR) for a list of all available Docker images for SQL Server.
