Documented steps List only running containers: `docker ps` (alias of docker container ls). List ALL containers including stopped/exited: `docker ps -a`. Filter by status: `docker ps -a --filter status=exited` or `status=running`; filter by name substring: `docker ps -f name=nostalgic`. Filter by image: `docker ps -f ancestor=ubuntu:24.04`; filter by exit code with `-a` (e.g. `docker ps -a -f exited=137` for SIGKILL). Show only container IDs: `docker ps -q`; format output with --format (e.g. `docker ps --format '{{.ID}} {{.Names}} {{.Status}}'`). Official docs: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/ps/ Known gotchas Without -a only RUNNING containers are shown — stopped ones silently disappear, a common cause of 'container not found'. status filter values: created, restarting, running, removing, paused, exited, dead. Exit code 137 means the process was killed by SIGKILL (docker kill, manual kill of PID 1, or daemon restart). --filter takes key=value and multiple filters need repeat flags: `--filter a=b --filter c=d`.
