Table: docker_info - Query Docker Information using SQL
Docker is an open-source platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of applications inside lightweight, portable containers. It provides an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualization on Windows and Linux. Docker uses the resource isolation features of the Linux kernel to allow independent containers to run within a single Linux instance.
Table Usage Guide
The docker_info table provides insights into the Docker engine running on the host machine. As a system administrator or a DevOps engineer, you can explore details about the Docker engine through this table, including its configuration, version, and runtime information. Utilize it to uncover information about the Docker engine, such as its operating system, architecture, number of containers, and images.

Export
This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.
You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:
/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- dockerYou can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:
steampipe_export_docker --config '<your_config>' docker_info
