# Steps
**How to list docker containers in a network**

 [Inspecting a docker network](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/network_inspect/) will list containers along with other information, we can use the `--format` flag to get a newline separated list.

```
docker network inspect <NAME> --format='{{range $id, $_ := .Containers}}{{println $id}}{{end}}

// Example output
197123ceff4c60ad99518e948047d842eab52ab7eac38476dabe22ac5f6cc209
2ec40124c66a394d6f29e1448bff3182902a94e74f923c7cab4f10c3d7f99d1d
aeb2b9d5686efcf186adf13ce6b8471782f332385aa8b2c4314932a1416f8376
```

**Stopping and removing containers in a docker network**
```
docker <stop|rm> $(docker network inspect <NAME> \
 --format='{{range $id, $_ := .Containers}}{{println $id}}{{end}}')
```
