I also need the container name or Id which a script requires to attach to the container  took some tweaking but this works perfectly well for me    export svr   docker ps --format  quot table    ID   quot   sed  s CONTAINER ID  g    sed       space      d   docker exec -it  svr bash  The sed command is needed to get rid of the fact that the words CONTAINER ID gets printed too     but I just need the actual id stored in a var

Thanks for the answer of https   stackoverflow com a 65513726 889126  it gave me an idea to make a complete bash script as it is export api image id   docker inspect --format  quot    Id   quot   lt image-name gt    sed       space      d    sudo docker exec -i -t   api image id   bin bash  I need a specific container and make a script to extract some info from it in a quick sight  Hope this would help others

In my case I was running Tensorflow Docker container in Ubuntu 20 04  Run your docker container in One terminal   I ran it with docker run -it od  And then started another terminal and ran below docker ps with sudo  sudo docker ps  I successfully got container id  CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES e4ca1ad20b84        od                   quot  bin bash quot          18 minutes ago       Up 18 minutes                           unruffled stonebraker

The simplest way I can think of is to parse the output of docker ps  Let s run the latest ubuntu image interactively and connect to it  docker run -it ubuntu  bin bash   If you run docker ps in another terminal you can see something like  CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES 8fddbcbb101c        ubuntu latest         bin bash          10 minutes ago      Up 10 minutes                           gloomy pasteur   Unfortunately  parsing this format isn t easy since they uses spaces to manually align stuff    sudo docker ps   sed -e  s     g  CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES 8fddbcbb101c        ubuntu latest         bin bash          13 minutes ago      Up 13 minutes                           gloomy pasteur         Here is a script that converts the output to JSON   https   gist github com mminer a08566f13ef687c17b39  Actually  the output is a bit more convenient to work with than that  Every field is 20 characters wide     CONTAINER ID  0    IMAGE  20    COMMAND  40    CREATED  60    STATUS  80    PORTS  100    NAMES  120

In Linux   sudo docker ps -aqf  name containername    Or in OS X  Windows   docker ps -aqf  name containername    where containername is your container name   To avoid getting false positives  as  llia Sidorenko notes  you can use regex anchors like so   docker ps -aqf  name  containername     explanation    -q for quiet  output only the ID -a for all  works even if your container is not running -f for filter    container name must start with this string   container name must end with this string
