ID                          NAME                        CREATED             UPDATED

Filtering

The filtering flag (-f or --filter) format is a key=value pair. If there is more than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., --filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz")

The currently supported filters are:

id (secret’s ID)
label (label=<key> or label=<key>=<value>)
name (secret’s name)

id

The id filter matches all or prefix of a secret’s id.

$ docker secret ls -f "id=6697bflskwj1998km1gnnjr38"

ID                          NAME                        CREATED             UPDATED
6697bflskwj1998km1gnnjr38   q5s5570vtvnimefos1fyeo2u2   6 weeks ago         6 weeks ago

label

The label filter matches secrets based on the presence of a label alone or a label and a value.

The following filter matches all secrets with a project label regardless of its value:

$ docker secret ls --filter label=project

ID                          NAME                        CREATED             UPDATED
mem02h8n73mybpgqjf0kfi1n0   test_secret                 About an hour ago   About an hour ago

The following filter matches only services with the project label with the project-a value.

$ docker service ls --filter label=project=test

ID                          NAME                        CREATED             UPDATED
mem02h8n73mybpgqjf0kfi1n0   test_secret                 About an hour ago   About an hour ago

name

The name filter matches on all or prefix of a secret’s name.

The following filter matches secret with a name containing a prefix of test.

$ docker secret ls --filter name=test_secret

ID                          NAME                        CREATED             UPDATED
mem02h8n73mybpgqjf0kfi1n0   test_secret                 About an hour ago   About an hour ago

Format the output

The formatting option (--format) pretty prints secrets output using a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder	Description
`.ID`	Secret ID
`.Name`	Secret name
`.CreatedAt`	Time when the secret was created
`.UpdatedAt`	Time when the secret was updated
`.Labels`	All labels assigned to the secret
`.Label`	Value of a specific label for this secret. For example `{{.Label "secret.ssh.key"}}`

When using the --format option, the secret ls command will either output the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the table directive, will include column headers as well.

The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the ID and Name entries separated by a colon for all images:

$ docker secret ls --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Name}}"

77af4d6b9913: secret-1
b6fa739cedf5: secret-2
78a85c484f71: secret-3

To list all secrets with their name and created date in a table format you can use:

$ docker secret ls --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Name}}\t{{.CreatedAt}}"

ID                  NAME                      CREATED
77af4d6b9913        secret-1                  5 minutes ago
b6fa739cedf5        secret-2                  3 hours ago
78a85c484f71        secret-3                  10 days ago
