list all containers with restart policies-CodePudding

Is it possible to list all docker contianers with a restart policy set? I could inspect the running containers (How to quickly show policies of all docker containers), but what if one has been previously stopped, or has an on-failure policy and has completed successfully?

Exactly, so do not stop at running containers - inspect all containers.

Just list all containers with that policy.

docker ps -a -q | xargs docker inspect | jq -r '.[] | select(.HostConfig.RestartPolicy.Name != "no") | .Name'

How does docker system prune work with this?

It does not work with this (?).

Will it skip the removal of any containers that are stopped, but have a restart policy set?

No, a stopped container is also removed. Observe the following terminal transcript:

$ docker run --restart always -d --name test alpine
