Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Filter by ID:

docker ps --filter "id=1234567890ab"
docker images --filter "id=sha256:abcdef123456"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Filter by Label:
Filter containers or images by label.


docker ps --filter "label=mylabel=myvalue"
docker images --filter "label=mylabel=myvalue"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Filter by Status:
Filter containers by status (running, exited, etc.).

docker ps --filter "status=running"
docker ps --filter "status=exited"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5. Filter by Exited Containers:
Filter containers by the exit code.

docker ps -a --filter "exited=1"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

6. Filter by Publish Ports:
