How to see all processes running on Docker Daemon VM on Windows 10

I'd like to know what processes run in VM with Docker Daemon on a Windows 10 host.

How could I connect to the VM and list those processes?

Solution

  • I'm guessing you mean to a remote Docker Daemon? You can use Docker Contexts to be able to run all of the standard Docker commands remotely.

    Once you have a context setup for the VM Docker Daemon, you can do for example:

    docker ps, docker top and so on, like this:

    docker --context <VM's context name> top

    If you just mean connect to the daemon locally, you can SSH into the daemon, and run the usual Linux commands.
