How to know which command or compose file has been used to start Docker containers?

Is there any way to find a source of the docker container script? I have a setup where I can not find any docker-compose.yml file nor the bash script etc that would have run all the Docker containers currently running. I have a virtual machine that starts docker containers on the startup, but have no idea which file is actually run.

This information is available from docker inspect:

$ docker inspect my_container | jq '.[]Config.Labels."com.docker.compose.project.config_files"'

This will spit out the path to the compose file used to start the stack.

i think no option to know which docker-compose file is use. but you can check manual every you project folder.

the docker-compose mechanism is by matching the docker-compose.yml file. so if you run command sudo docker-compose ps in every your project folder. docker-compose will match between the docker-compose file used by container and docker-compose file in your project, if the same than the results will be displayed, if not the results is not displayed

If the containers are running automatically on reboot and you have no cron/bash profile/rc.local or any other startup screen then that may mean that they are containers with --restart option set. You can change that by running below command

docker ps -q | xargs docker update --restart no
docker ps -q | xargs docker stop

Then restart the machine. The containers should not start. If they do then you have some script somewhere which is starting them
