docker client for docker ps has very useful flag -l which shows container information which was run recently. However all other docker commands requires providing either CONTAINER ID or NAME.
Is there any nice trick which would allow to call:
docker logs -f -l
instead of:
docker logs -f random_name
After a while playing with docker tutorial, I created small set of aliases:
alias docker_last="docker ps -l | tail -n +2 | awk '{ print \$(NF) }' | xargs docker $1"
alias docker_all="docker ps -a | tail -n +2 | awk '{ print \$(NF) }' | xargs docker $1"
alias docker_up="docker ps | tail -n +2 | awk '{ print \$(NF) }' | xargs docker $1"
alias docker_down="docker ps -a | tail -n +2 | grep -v Up | awk '{ print \$(NF) }' | xargs docker $1"
Which allow to call command on last, all, up and down containers:
docker_last logs # Display logs from last created container
docker_down rm # Remove all stopped containers
docker_up stop # Stop all running containers
