Is it possible to show the restart policy of a running Docker container?

Question

When I create containers I\'m specifying a restart policy, but this is not shown in docker ps, and it doesn\'t appear any format string shows this either.

Answer 1

I did this little script to check all the containers and their policy:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#Script to check the restart policy of the containers

readarray -t CONTAINERS < <(docker ps -a | grep -v NAMES | awk '{print $NF}')

for item in "${CONTAINERS[@]}"; do

    #Hard-Bash way
    #data=$(docker inspect "${item}" | grep -A 1 RestartPolicy | awk -F '"' '{print $4}' | tail -n 1)

    #Docker-pr0 way
    data=$(docker inspect -f "{{ .HostConfig.RestartPolicy.Name }}" "${item}")

    echo "Container: ${item} / RestartPolicy: ${data}"
done

Hope it helps to somebody!
