How to get the IP address of Docker container using Docker SDK for Python?

Question

I am launching a container with network_mode = bridge, when I inspect the network container in the terminal I get the container IP address.

docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' container_id

However, I can't get this IP address from the container object. Is there any solution without searching the container in the network object?

Answer 1

Here is an example:

import docker

client = docker.DockerClient()
container = client.containers.get(container_id_or_name)
ip_add = container.attrs['NetworkSettings']['IPAddress']
print(ip_add)

You may need to call container.reload() first to update the attributes (reference).
