Lab 6.2 - Container Operations with Docker - alternatives

Lab 6.2 is really nice - so many options to try out. But also so many syntax details to memorize.
A particularly mind-boggling example is this:sudo docker container inspect --format=’{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}’ web-on-failure
Not a chance in the world I'll memorize that (I wonder who came up with this json syntax - must be a lonely fellow).
Turns out it's not so hard to parse the json file:sudo docker container inspect web-on-failure | grep \"IPAddress\": | cut -d '"' -f4 | uniq
And here a one-liner for the exercise:
[email protected]:~# curl $(sudo docker container inspect web-on-failure | grep \"IPAddress\": | cut -d '"' -f4 | uniq) Welcome to Container Fundamentals
The grep & cut works also with other parameters:
sudo docker container inspect web-on-failure | grep \"Gateway\": | cut -d '"' -f4 | uniq sudo docker container inspect web-on-failure | grep \"Runtime\": | cut -d '"' -f4 | uniq
Guess what's the runtime for the docker containers?
Unfortunately it fails when the value isn't quoted (""). For some incongruous reason many values are quoted, others are not. Example:
"Status": "running",
"Running": true,
"Paused": false,
"Restarting": false,
"OOMKilled": false,
Hope this is useful.

Hello @heiko_s,
Thank you for providing the grep/cut alternatives.
The JSON syntax assumes you are familiar with navigating the fields of the JSON file, while grep/cut requires you to know the position of the desired field. In both cases some some reconnaissance is required prior to extracting the desired value.
Regards,

Thanks for the reply! Reconnaissance is definitely needed. But a simple grep gets me what I'm looking for, the rest is for scripting/automation.
Have been doing some other exercises using Podman and realised what was written in the lessons - no networking out of the box in unprivileged mode. The pod doesn't even get an IP. Looking forward to the container networking chapter.
