There are also the following options:
docker container ls
docker container ls -a
# --all, -a
# Show all containers (default shows just running)
since: 1.13.0 (2017-01-18):
Restructure CLI commands by adding docker image and docker container commands for more consistency #26025
and as stated here: Introducing Docker 1.13, users are encouraged to adopt the new syntax:
CLI restructured
In Docker 1.13, we regrouped every command to sit under the logical object it’s interacting with. For example list and start of containers are now subcommands of docker container and history is a subcommand of docker image.
These changes let us clean up the Docker CLI syntax, improve help text and make Docker simpler to use. The old command syntax is still supported, but we encourage everybody to adopt the new syntax.
