great work! so helpful

great work! so helpful

Thanks for this!

To create files with the run commands for all of your running containers:
docker ps -q | xargs -I % sh -c 'docker inspect --format "$(curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/efrecon/8ce9c75d518b6eb863f667442d7bc679/raw/run.tpl)" % > %'

Good job. Slightly modify it to use the container name as the file name.

docker ps -q | xargs -I % sh -c 'docker inspect --format "$(curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/efrecon/8ce9c75d518b6eb863f667442d7bc679/raw/run.tpl)" % > $(docker inspect --format "{{.Name}}" % | cut -c2-)'

what a great concept! almost perfect in my use -- had to manually gather to re-assign MAC address (since used to assign IP in DHCP env)

--mac-address=aa:bb:...

Hi @efrecon

I would like to thank you for this template.

I would like to contribute by modifying the iteration through the ports to iterate through every element rather than choosing only the first.

The change is available in my fork: https://gist.github.com/snikhil1998/9176b8583475693f1f8d1f1f5c6e76e4

Motivation: I noticed the incomplete list of port bindings when recreating docker containers with this template, so I modified it to fix the issue.
