How to execute Docker query command on all containers?

Question

In docker I can make docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" CONTAINER to run command on a particular container.

What I need is to do something like docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" all or docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" * to run a command on all containers, not mentioning their names explicitly?

It relates to other docker commands as well. Is there such a way without bash scripting?

Answer 1

You can list multiple container to a docker inspect.

docker inspect [OPTIONS] CONTAINER|IMAGE [CONTAINER|IMAGE...]

But the only way to list those container is through bash $(sudo docker ps -aq).

For example:

docker inspect --format='{{.Name}}' $(sudo docker ps -aq)
docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" $(sudo docker ps -aq)

The OP f1yegor proposes in the comments:

all=$(sudo docker ps -aq) docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" $all
