last used docker-compose command

Question

Let's say I have started my containers with:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.localhost.yml up --build

Is there a way to lookup, for a given running container, what the command was that started it? Something (pseudocode) like docker origin-command <container id> or similar?

What exactly are you looking to find out? This might help: "docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.localhost.yml config" => it will show you the final merged configuration that will be run by docker-compose — Mihai, Apr 02 '19 at 04:33

sure you can. use the inspect docker command:

docker container inspect <container_id>

this command will output a huge json object, what you need is under Config.CMD which appears to be an array containing the container entrypoint command and its flags.
