Helper commands for docker because typing long docker commands is boring...
Setup
cd ~
mkdir bin
cd bin
git clone git@github.com:timlinux/docker-helpers.git
Now add this somewhere to your ~/.bashrc:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin/docker-helpers

docker-export-<container name>.tar. - dealldated - Export all named containers. Exported containers will be named
in the form
docker-export:<namespace>:<container name>:<date>.tar. - dipall - List the name and IP address of all named containers. Output

docker images. - dnames - List all the names of named containers.
- dpasswords - Print the names and passwords from all named containers.
When you set up your container, print any passwords to stdout so they show up
in the docker logs command. Be sure to print the word
passwordin your stdout message as this is a simple grep operation. - dps - List all running containers. Short hand for docker ps.
- dpsa - List all running containers. Short hand for docker ps -a.
