Could I list all running docker-compose files?

I was wondering if it would be possible to list all running docker-compose files with a bash function? Something like docker ps or docker container ls, but I want it to show the files only.

I got started with this – lsof | egrep 'REG|DIR' | awk '{print $9}' but this provides me tons of unwanted information as well.

What would be the best approach here?

Thanks in advance.

    So I played around with docker inspect and came up with that:

    for c in `docker ps -q`; do echo $c; docker inspect $c --format '{{index .Config.Labels "com.docker.compose.project.config_files"}}' ; done

    So it is possible ;)

    It is not possible to backtrack and find the docker-compose file that was used in container deployment. To overcome such issues, a project pipeline is recommended using tools like maven, jenkins, gradle etc along with a repository platform like github. If its a personal project you can organize your project by wrapping the docker deployment commands and source files in a script and only use them to create deployments. This way it will be organized to some extent.

    This bash oneliner shows the working dir of each container’s compose file.

    for c in `docker ps -q`; do echo $c; docker inspect $c --format '{{index .Config.Labels "com.docker.compose.project.working_dir"}}' ; done

    I edited kvelev’s command to get this. kvelev’s command was just printing "docker-compose.yaml" for each of my loaded containers, so I edited the filter to show the working dir, which works for me.
