simple gist to get docker ps output as csv file

gistfile1.txt

docker ps -a --no-trunc | awk -F "  +" '{$1=$1}1' OFS="\t"

There is a bug in your script. CONTAINER ID turns into CONTAINER,ID which is undesireable
Also, the created fields like "5 weeks ago" becomes three different fields (5,weeks,ago)

This is the trick --format with \t on docker container ls and grab that on awk with -F '\t'

docker container ls --no-trunc -a --format='"{{.Names}}"\t"{{.Image}}"\t"{{.Ports}}"\t"{{.Status}}"' | awk -F '\t' '{$1=$1}1' OFS=","

Note that quoted values provided from --format, good to avoid undesired fields split.

Of course a better way is without awk, in this case a simple:

docker container ls --no-trunc -a --format='"{{.Names}}","{{.Image}}","{{.Ports}}","{{.Status}}"'
