The output of "docker ps" often becomes really confusing on small screens (1080p or smaller).
So i created a wrapper python script that solves that problem.
Before
After
Script
/root/bin/docker-ps:
#!/usr/bin/python3
import os
import subprocess
import json
class bcolors:
HEADER = '\033[95m'
OKBLUE = '\033[94m'
OKDARKGRAY = '\033[90m'
OKCYAN = '\033[96m'
OKGREEN = '\033[92m'
WARNING = '\033[93m'
FAIL = '\033[91m'
ENDC = '\033[0m'
BOLD = '\033[1m'
UNDERLINE = '\033[4m'
command = "docker ps --format '{\"ID\":\"{{ .ID }}\", \"Image\": \"{{ .Image }}\", \"Names\":\"{{ .Names }}\", \"Status\":\"{{ .Status }}\", \"CreatedAt\":\"{{ .CreatedAt }}\", \"Ports\":\"{{ .Ports }}\"}'"
output = subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True).splitlines()
print("")
for entry in output:
entry_json = entry.decode("utf-8")
entry_json_object = json.loads(entry_json)
id = entry_json_object["ID"]
names = entry_json_object["Names"]
status = entry_json_object["Status"]
created = entry_json_object["CreatedAt"]
image = entry_json_object["Image"]
ports = entry_json_object["Ports"]
print(f"{id}\t{bcolors.WARNING}{names}{bcolors.ENDC}\t ({bcolors.OKDARKGRAY}Status: {status}, Created At: {created}{bcolors.ENDC})")
print(f" {bcolors.BOLD}Image:{bcolors.ENDC} {image}")
print(f" {bcolors.BOLD}Ports:{bcolors.ENDC} {ports}")
print("")
The Script is also available as a GitHub Gist.
In .bashrc i override the "docker ps" command with the script:
function docker() {
case $* in
ps ) shift 1; command /root/bin/docker-ps ;;
* ) command docker "$@" ;;
esac
}
Alternative Idea
Just display the columns that are important to you:
e.g.:
docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Ports}} "
