docker-compose
Have you thought about generating a docker-compose file as well? While they typically combine a few services, a fragment would work well.
What would you use that for? The purpose of this script as I originally envisioned it is to let you run ad-hoc containers that were launched with lots of switches. What's the use-case that you have in mind for adding support for docker-compose output format?
Generating docker-compose.yml is useful for taking snapshots of a running set of containers. It would be a useful dev-ops tool.
It would be an interesting challenge to try to implement this. docker-compose is so much more than just containers, though. It's networks, volumes, etc. practically the entire docker engine API would have to be employed.
This is the exact use case I've found myself with today. I have a host running 39ish containers that were created using a mix of compose, run commands, and portainer, that all need to be recreated on a different host while I rebuild the first one.
