Does all running docker containers have a separate process ID

Question

Does all the running docker containers have a separate process id. If yes, how can one get that. Also, what will happen if we kill that process?

Answer 1

Yes, every docker container will have a different PID on your host machine.

You can get a docker containers PID by doing:

docker inspect --format '{{ .State.Pid }}' CONTAINER_ID

If you kill the process on your host, your docker container will die.
