Docker pause / unpause groups of containers based on Image

[Patrick]

I have done this with scripts based on -name tags that I give containers at runtime. Does anyone have a bash/ python script that lets you pause/unpause a container or all containers using an image?

For example, if you had a NGINX container and wanted to pause all of the 1.12 containers in a cluster (eg using nginx:alpine).

Can do this with a single command

docker stop $(docker ps -a -q --filter=name=nginx:alpine)

EDIT - I guess you asked for "Pause", same logic applies.

docker pause $(docker ps -a -q --filter=name=nginx:alpine)

Thanks!

I am trying to automate the up/ down of my nvidia-docker containers that are not managed with Rancher.
