I try to document my Docker knowledge in one place and add pointers/remeber/spoilers so I do not have to reread all documentation.

More sources I should read:

• https://runnable.com/docker/getting-started/
• https://www.javatpoint.com/what-is-docker-volume#:~:text=Docker%20volumes%20are%20file%20systems,if%20another%20process%20needs%20it.

• docker-compose stop is not docker-compose down

  • docker-compose stop only stops the container but does not remove stuff
  • docker-compose down stops the container and removes everything except for the volumes.

• docker-compose start will not create containers and pull images

• docker-compose up will not create containers and pull images

• docker run : creates a new container from the referenced Docker image

docker run -d --name test1 dumlutimuralp/networktest (this would start the container in background)

docker exec -it < container id > bash (This would attach the terminal to the container that is running in the background. To execute commands in the container)

docker run -it --name test1 dumlutimuralp/networktest /bin/bash (This command would start the container in the foreground and attach the terminal to the container right away. To properly exit, without killing the container, use ctrl + P + Q)

• docker pull : copies images to docker host
• docker images : lists images on the docker host
• docker rmi : removes images from the docker host
• docker ps : lists the running containers
