Docker inspect is a command used in Docker software that provides detailed information on Docker objects such as images, containers, volumes, networks, and services. Essentially, it provides the user with a complete overview of the configuration of a Docker object.
Syntax: `docker inspect [options] [object […]]`
The object can be the ID or name of any Docker object.
Examples:
1. Inspecting a container: `docker inspect container_name`
2. Inspecting an image: `docker inspect image_name`
3. Inspecting a network: `docker inspect network_name`
4. Inspecting a volume: `docker inspect volume_name`
Now, when you run the Docker inspect command, you will get a long list of details (in JSON format) about your specified Docker object. If you are interested in a specific piece of information, you can filter the output of the Docker inspect command using either the ‘-f’ or ‘—format’ option in the command.
Example: `docker inspect -f ‘{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}’ container_name`
This will provide you with the IP address of the specific container.
