  • Pretty print docker ps command

    If you have many port mappings, docker ps output becomes pretty illegible. The ~120 char one-liner changes the output into a more readable list of container! Show Sample Output

    docker ps | perl -ple "s/\$/\n\n/g;s/\s{2,}/\n/g;s/(Up)/\\e\[32m\$1\\e\[0m/g;s/(Down)/\\e\[31m\\e\[5m\$1\\e\[25m\\e\[0m/g;s/^([^\n]+)/\\e\[1m\$1\\e\[0m/g;s/(\w+?)$/\\e\[4m\$1\\e\[24m/g" | more

  • Clear disk space by retaining only currently running Docker containers and only currently required Docker images.

    Useful if your Docker host starts running out of disk space due to Docker debris. You should start by running "sudo docker ps" in order to check that all required containers are in fact running, and fix any that aren't before proceeding to the main event! "sudo docker rm $(sudo docker ps -q -f status=exited)" removes all containers which are no longer running. "sudo docker rmi $(sudo docker images -q -f dangling=true)" removes all Docker images not required for currently running containers.

Take a screenshot of a login screen
when using Gnome or KDE, you will have a hard time getting a screenshot of something like a login screen, or any other screen that occurs before the desktop environment is up and monitoring the printscreen key. (this probably applies for other DEs as well, but I haven't used them) What this command is meant to do is take a screenshot of an X window using a command you can run from your virtual terminals (actual text terminals, not just an emulator) To do this: Press CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to a virtual (text) terminal once your login window comes up Login to the virtual terminal and enter the command (you'll have to type it in) You should now have a file called screenshot.png in your home directory with your screenshot in it. For those of you who are new to the virtual terminal thing, you can use CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to your regular GUI From http://www.gnome.org

List all active access_logs for currently running Apache or Lighttpd process
Ever logged into a *nix box and needed to know which webserver is running and where all the current access_log files are? Run this one liner to find out. Works for Apache or Lighttpd as long as CustomLog name is somewhat standard. HINT: works great as input into for loop, like this: $ for i in `lsof -p $(netstat -ltpn|awk '$4 ~ /:80$/ {print substr($7,1,index($7,"/")-1)}')| awk '$9 ~ /access.log$/ {print $9| "sort -u"}'` ; do echo $i; done Very useful for triage on unfamiliar servers!
