Show CPU and memory usage of Docker containers

harmless rootDockerdebian, ubuntu
root@server
docker stats --no-stream

Prints one line per running container with CPU share, memory usage and limit, plus network and disk traffic. With --no-stream, the command ends after one measurement, without the option the display keeps updating like top.

Note: If the limit in MEM USAGE / LIMIT equals the entire host RAM, the container has no memory limit. Docker commands require root or the docker group.
