About "docker inspect". you can inspect a container or an image.


docker inspect $containerid

-> there are 2 places with "Image", one showing the image's sha2, the other the image's name.
If you use the sha2 to identify the image, remember it's truncated to the leftmost 12 digits.

docker image inspect $imagename (or $imagesha2)

here you find the Cmd and Entrypoint`


You can assign a label to image in Dockerfile:
LABEL app=hello-world

and use it to filter:

docker images --filter "label=app=hello-world"


since version 18.6 you can use BuildKit https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#label :

without BuildKit:

docker build -t myhw .

CMD vs ENTRYPOINT

if you use
ENTRYPOINT echo "pippo "
docker build -t echopippo .
docker run echopippo

it will print "pippo"

if you use also CMD
ENTRYPOINT echo "pippo "
CMD " peppo"

it will still print only "pippo". To append arguments, you must use the JSON array format (i.e. square brackets)

ENTRYPOINT ["echo", "pippo "]
CMD [" peppo"]


this will print "pippo peppo".

If you provide an extra parameter from command line:
docker run echopippo pluto

then CMD is ignored, and the parameter from command line is used:
pippo pluto
