# NAME
docker-inspect - Return low-level information on docker objects

# SYNOPSIS
**docker inspect**
[**--help**]
[**-f**|**--format**[=*FORMAT*]]
[**-s**|**--size**]
[**--type**=*container*|*image*|*network*|*node*|*service*|*task*|*volume*]
NAME|ID [NAME|ID...]

# DESCRIPTION

This displays all the information available in Docker for one or multiple given
containers, images, volumes, networks, nodes, services, or tasks. By default,
this will render all results in a JSON array. If the container and image have
the same name, this will return container JSON for unspecified type. If a format
is specified, the given template will be executed for each result.

# OPTIONS
**--help**
    Print usage statement

**-f**, **--format**=""
    Format the output using the given Go template.

**-s**, **--size**
    Display total file sizes if the type is container.

**--type**=*container*|*image*|*network*|*node*|*service*|*task*|*volume*
    Return JSON for specified type, permissible values are "image", "container",
    "network", "node", "service", "task", and "volume".

# EXAMPLES

Get information about an image when image name conflicts with the container name,
e.g. both image and container are named rhel7:

    $ docker inspect --type=image rhel7
    [
    {
     "Id": "fe01a428b9d9de35d29531e9994157978e8c48fa693e1bf1d221dffbbb67b170",
     "Parent": "10acc31def5d6f249b548e01e8ffbaccfd61af0240c17315a7ad393d022c5ca2",
     ....
    }
    ]

## Getting information on a container

To get information on a container use its ID or instance name:

    $ docker inspect d2cc496561d6
    [{
    "Id": "d2cc496561d6d520cbc0236b4ba88c362c446a7619992123f11c809cded25b47",

## Getting the IP address of a container instance

To get the IP address of a container use:

    $ docker inspect --format='{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' d2cc496561d6
    172.17.0.2

## Listing all port bindings

One can loop over arrays and maps in the results to produce simple text
output:

    $ docker inspect --format='{{range $p, $conf := .NetworkSettings.Ports}} \
      {{$p}} -> {{(index $conf 0).HostPort}} {{end}}' d2cc496561d6
      80/tcp -> 80

You can get more information about how to write a Go template from:
https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/.

## Getting size information on a container

    $ docker inspect -s d2cc496561d6
    [
    {
    ....
    "SizeRw": 0,
    "SizeRootFs": 972,
    ....
    }
    ]

## Getting information on an image

Use an image's ID or name (e.g., repository/name[:tag]) to get information
about the image:

    $ docker inspect ded7cd95e059
    [{
    "Id": "ded7cd95e059788f2586a51c275a4f151653779d6a7f4dad77c2bd34601d94e4",
