Does it bother you, that docker ps has too wide output?
$ sudo docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
44a2292b59a6 sonarqube:lts-alpine "./bin/run.sh" 17 minutes ago Up 17 minutes 0.0.0.0:9000->9000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9092->9092/tcp sonarqube
Well the command itself looks ugly (defining a custom format in GO language)
sudo docker ps --format 'CONTAINER ID: {{.ID}}\nIMAGE: {{.Image}}\nCOMMAND: {{.Command}}\nCREATED: {{.CreatedAt}}\nSTATUS: {{.Status}}\nPORTS: {{.Ports}}\nNAMES: {{.Names}}'
but the output is at least more readable :-)
