How to list containers that are using redis/ubuntu image in Docker

Question

I am trying to figure out the solution for the above question. I tried the commands docker ps -a -f "label=redis" and docker ps -f "name=redis", but that didn't gave any output.

Any help?

I think you want the ancestor filter :

From the Docker Docs on ps:

ancestor - Filters containers which share a given image as an ancestor. Expressed as image-name[:<tag>], image id, or image@digest

$docker run -d --rm redis 
c4cf36467d63c66f7d3d8271dd0f8e51ede4a627048eb5e294a2445f5b0d30ef
$ docker ps -f "ancestor=redis"
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
