Filtering (-f, --filter)

The filtering flag (-f or --filter) format is a key=value pair. If there is more than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., --filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz")

The currently supported filters are:

  • id (config's ID)
  • label (label=<key> or label=<key>=<value>)
  • name (config's name)

id

The id filter matches all or prefix of a config's id.

$ docker config ls -f "id=6697bflskwj1998km1gnnjr38"

ID                          NAME                        CREATED             UPDATED
6697bflskwj1998km1gnnjr38   q5s5570vtvnimefos1fyeo2u2   6 weeks ago         6 weeks ago

label

The label filter matches configs based on the presence of a label alone or a label and a value.

The following filter matches all configs with a project label regardless of its value:

$ docker config ls --filter label=project

ID                          NAME                        CREATED             UPDATED
mem02h8n73mybpgqjf0kfi1n0   test_config                 About an hour ago   About an hour ago

The following filter matches only services with the project label with the project-a value.

$ docker service ls --filter label=project=test

ID                          NAME                        CREATED             UPDATED
mem02h8n73mybpgqjf0kfi1n0   test_config                 About an hour ago   About an hour ago

name

The name filter matches on all or prefix of a config's name.

The following filter matches config with a name containing a prefix of test.

$ docker config ls --filter name=test_config

ID                          NAME                        CREATED             UPDATED
mem02h8n73mybpgqjf0kfi1n0   test_config                 About an hour ago   About an hour ago

Format the output (--format)

The formatting option (--format) pretty prints configs output using a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder Description
.ID Config ID
.Name Config name
.CreatedAt Time when the config was created
.UpdatedAt Time when the config was updated
.Labels All labels assigned to the config
.Label Value of a specific label for this config. For example {{.Label "my-label"}}

When using the --format option, the config ls command will either output the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the table directive, will include column headers as well.

The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the ID and Name entries separated by a colon (:) for all images:

$ docker config ls --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Name}}"

77af4d6b9913: config-1
b6fa739cedf5: config-2
78a85c484f71: config-3

To list all configs with their name and created date in a table format you can use:

$ docker config ls --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Name}}\t{{.CreatedAt}}"

ID                  NAME                      CREATED
77af4d6b9913        config-1                  5 minutes ago
b6fa739cedf5        config-2                  3 hours ago
78a85c484f71        config-3                  10 days ago
