Usage: hyper ps [OPTIONS]

List containers

  -a, --all=false       Show all containers (default shows just running)
  -f, --filter=[]       Filter output based on conditions provided
  --format=[]           Pretty-print containers using a Go template
  --help=false          Print usage
  -l, --latest=false    Show the latest created container (includes all states)

  --no-trunc=false      Don't truncate output
  -q, --quiet=false     Only display numeric IDs
  -s, --size=false      Display total file sizes

Running hyper ps --no-trunc showing 2 linked containers.

$ hyper ps

hyper ps will show only running containers by default. To see all containers: hyper ps -a

hyper ps will group exposed ports into a single range if possible. E.g., a container that exposes TCP ports 100, 101, 102 will display 100-102/tcp in the PORTS column.

Filtering

The filtering flag (-f or --filter) format is a key=value pair. If there is more than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g. --filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz")

The currently supported filters are:

  • id (container's id)

  • label (label=<key> or label=<key>=<value>)

  • name (container's name)

  • exited (int - the code of exited containers. Only useful with --all)

  • status (created|restarting|running|paused|exited)

  • ancestor (<image-name>[:<tag>], <image id> or <image@digest>) - filters containers that were created from the given image or a descendant.

Label

The label filter matches containers based on the presence of a label alone or a label and a value.

The following filter matches containers with the color label regardless of its value.

$ hyper ps --filter "label=color"
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES                 PUBLIC IP
673394ef1d4c        busybox             "top"               47 seconds ago      Up 45 seconds                           nostalgic-shockley
d85756f57265        busybox             "top"               52 seconds ago      Up 51 seconds                           high-albattani

The following filter matches containers with the color label with the blue value.

$ hyper ps --filter "label=color=blue"
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES              PUBLIC IP
d85756f57265        busybox             "top"               About a minute ago   Up About a minute                       high-albattani

Name

The name filter matches on all or part of a container's name.

The following filter matches all containers with a name containing the nostalgic-stallman string.

$ hyper ps --filter "name=nostalgic-stallman"
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES                 PUBLIC IP
9b6247364a03        busybox             "top"               2 minutes ago       Up 2 minutes                            nostalgic-stallman

You can also filter for a substring in a name as this shows:

$ hyper ps --filter "name=nostalgic"
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES                 PUBLIC IP

9b6247364a03        busybox             "top"               7 minutes ago       Up 7 minutes                            nostalgic-stallman

Exited

The exited filter matches containers by exist status code. For example, to filter for containers that have exited successfully:

$ hyper ps -a --filter 'exited=0'
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE             COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS                   PORTS                      NAMES                  PUBLIC IP

Status

The status filter matches containers by status. You can filter using created, restarting, running, paused and exited. For example, to filter for running containers:

$ hyper ps --filter status=running
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                  COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES                 PUBLIC IP
715ebfcee040        busybox                "top"               16 minutes ago      Up 16 minutes                           i-am-nostalgic
d5c976d3c462        busybox                "top"               23 minutes ago      Up 23 minutes                           top
9b6247364a03        busybox                "top"               24 minutes ago      Up 24 minutes                           nostalgic-stallman

To filter for paused containers:

$ hyper ps --filter status=paused
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS                      PORTS               NAMES                 PUBLIC IP
673394ef1d4c        busybox             "top"               About an hour ago   Up About an hour (Paused)                       nostalgic-shockley

Ancestor

The ancestor filter matches containers based on its image or a descendant of it. The filter supports the following image representation:

  • image

  • image:tag

  • image:tag@digest

  • short-id

  • full-id

If you don't specify a tag, the latest tag is used. For example, to filter for containers that use the latest ubuntu image:

$ hyper ps --filter ancestor=ubuntu
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES               PUBLIC IP

Match containers based on the ubuntu-c1 image which, in this case, is a child of ubuntu:

$ hyper ps --filter ancestor=ubuntu-c1
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES               PUBLIC IP
919e1179bdb8        ubuntu-c1           "top"               About a minute ago   Up About a minute                       admiring-lovelace

Match containers based on the ubuntu version 12.04.5 image:

$ hyper ps --filter ancestor=ubuntu:12.04.5
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES                 PUBLIC IP
82a598284012        ubuntu:12.04.5      "top"               3 minutes ago        Up 3 minutes                            sleepy-bose

The following matches containers based on the layer d0e008c6cf02 or an image that have this layer in it's layer stack.

$ hyper ps --filter ancestor=d0e008c6cf02
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES                 PUBLIC IP
82a598284012        ubuntu:12.04.5      "top"               3 minutes ago        Up 3 minutes                            sleepy-bose

Formatting

The formatting option (--format) will pretty-print container output using a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder

Description

.ID

Container ID

.Image

Image ID

.Command

Quoted command

.CreatedAt

Time when the container was created.

.RunningFor

Elapsed time since the container was started.

.Ports

Exposed ports.

.Status

Container status.

.Size

Container disk size.

.Names

Container names.

.Labels

All labels assigned to the container.

.Label

Value of a specific label for this container.

When using the --format option, the ps command will either output the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the table directive, will include column headers as well.

The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the ID and Command entries separated by a colon for all running containers:

$ hyper ps --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Command}}"
a87ecb4f327c: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA
01946d9d34d8: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA
c1d3b0166030: /bin/sh -c yum -y up
41d50ecd2f57: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA

To list all running containers with their labels in a table format you can use:

$ hyper ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Labels}}"
CONTAINER ID        LABELS
a87ecb4f327c        com.docker.swarm.node=ubuntu,com.docker.swarm.storage=ssd
01946d9d34d8
c1d3b0166030        com.docker.swarm.node=debian,com.docker.swarm.cpu=6
41d50ecd2f57        com.docker.swarm.node=fedora,com.docker.swarm.cpu=3,com.docker.swarm.storage=ss
