docker ps -f name=foo returns all containers whose name contains foo. What if I want to just ps on the container whose name is exactly foo?

docker ps -f name=foo | grep -w foo should do it! -Joe

How to filter docker ps by exact name?

For a container named foo:

docker ps -a --no-trunc --filter name=^/foo$
