How can I get docker's container name from inside the container?
I can't use "inspect" because I have to use a script from inside the container to get information from a JSON url.
If you mean the Container ID its available in the env as the hostname variable. It should be interchangeable with the name for most operations.
env HOSTNAME=5252eb24b296 TERM=xterm .... CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 5252eb24b296 ubuntu:14.04 "bash" 23 seconds ago Up 22 seconds test
