Docker is a revolution in the IT landscape and has made things easy.
It disallows developers to claim: "It works on my machine 😄"
Here, I created a cheat sheet I use to work with Docker
Frequently used commands
- docker --version
It shows the docker version installed.
- docker pull <image_name>
It allows you to pull images from the repository.
- docker images
To get all the pulled images that are available locally.
- docker ps
It allows you to see all the containers which are up and running.
- docker ps -a
It allows you to see all the containers that are available as well up and running.
The difference between docker ps and ps -a is that ps -a allows you to see containers that are down as well.
- docker run -it -d <image_name>
To Create a Docker Container from Docker Image in a detached mode.
- docker exec -it <container_id> bash
To run the container in interactive mode using bash shell.
Tip: you can use part of the container_id too
- docker start <container_id>
To start a container with mentioned <container_id>.
- docker restart <container_id>
To restart a container with mentioned <container_id>.
- docker stop <container_id>
To stop a container with mentioned <container_id>.
- docker rm <container_id>
To delete a container with mentioned <container_id>.
- docker rmi <image_id>
To delete a docker image with the mentioned <image_id>
- docker inspect <container_id>
To give details on the container id. It is JSON data with all the details of the container
Hope you liked this cheat sheet. 🍻
