You can use the docker ps command to get a list of all the running containers and their corresponding container names and IDs. Once you have the container name, you can use the docker ps -aqf "name=<container_name>" command to get the ID of the container.

Here's an example:

1. List all running containers:

1

docker ps

1. Find the container name in the output:

1
2

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE        COMMAND       CREATED      STATUS      PORTS      NAMES
abcd1234       nginx        "nginx -g ..."  2 days ago  Up 2 days   80/tcp     my-nginx-container

1. Use the container name to get the container ID:

1

docker ps -aqf "name=my-nginx-container"

This command will output the container ID, which in this case is abcd1234.
