Running Containers

Use a simple throwaway container

In this section you will learn how to start and stop containers.

$ docker run -it --rm busybox /bin/sh  

• docker run – Start a docker container.
• -it – Interactive, pass stdin (-i) as a tty, pass signals (-t).
• –rm – Remove the container once it is stopped.
• busybox – A minimal docker image
• /bin/sh – The command to run, start a shell.

Use a simple “persistent” container

$ docker run -it busybox /bin/sh  

Same as before, but no –rm to remove the container once you exit.

Run some commands, create a couple of files, then exit exit-command or Ctrl-D

# List all containers, including stopped  
$ docker ps --all    
			
# List all running containers  
$ docker ps    
			
# List all container IDs (-q quiet)  
$ docker ps --all -q    
			
# List latest (-l) container, including stopped  
$ docker ps -l    
			
# List ID of latest container  $ docker ps -l -q    
			
# Stop the last container  
$ docker stop $(docker ps -l -q)    
			
# Start and attach to the stopped container 
$ docker start -ia $(docker ps -l -q)    
			
# Exit the container, exit or Ctrl-D    
			
# List the container and remember its name.  
$ docker ps -a    
			
# List the logs of the container by name  
$ docker logs name-of-container   
			
# Remove the container  
$ docker rm $(docker ps -l -q) # Or use the nameCode language: PHP (php)
