Powershell tab completion for Docker
:warning:
posh-docker is in maintenance mode only. There is no plan to support any new features, such as management commands.
Alternatives exist, such as DockerCompletion, which provides a more extensive tab completion experience (requires PowerShell >= 5.0 and docker cli >= 1.13)
:warning:
All commands (start
, stop
, run
, ...) and their options (--attach
, --cpuset-mems
, ...) are autocompleted.
Container and image names can be autocompleted. Type a command requiring a container or image name, press <TAB>
and the name will be completed.
Prerequisite
Verify that docker can be run from PowerShell. If the command is not found, you will need to add a docker alias or add the docker installation folder (e.g. %ProgramFiles%\Docker Toolbox
) to your PATH environment variable.
Install-Module -Scope CurrentUser posh-docker
Install-Module -Scope CurrentUser posh-docker
After installation, execute the following line to enable autocompletion for the current powershell session:
Import-Module posh-docker
To make it persistent, add the above line to your profile. For example, run notepad $PROFILE
and insert the line above.
To update to the latest version of posh-docker, run the following command:
Update-Module posh-docker
