title: Is there a difference between "docker ps" and "docker container ls"?
body: <p>The documentation of <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/ps/" rel="noreferrer"><code>docker ps</code></a> and <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/container_ls/" rel="noreferrer"><code>docker container ls</code></a> both says "List containers", but does not mention the other command. Is there a difference between those two commands?</p>
  
  <p>The output looks exactly the same:</p>
