Docker Cheatsheet

Long way to create and run container

docker container create <image-name>: create a container
docker ps: show containers that are actively running.
docker ps --all: show all containers
docker container start <container-id>: run the container
docker logs <container_id>: show logs of the container
dockere container start --attach <container-id>: attach terminal to container's output

docker run <image-name> = docker container creater <image_name> + dockere container start --attach <container-id>

FROM: Which exisiting image to base the image off.
LABEL: Add additional information to the image
USER: Tell Docker which user to use to run command underneath it. root is the default
COPY: Copy files to Docker image
RUN: Commands to customize the image
ENTRYPOINT: ENTRYPOINT command is overwritten before the image with its own command line flag (docker run --entrypoint="override" image). Then, all CMD arguments will be added after ENTRYPOINT as its parameters. In many cases, the entrypoint is set as sh -c. You can find this with docker inspect image -f '{{ .Config.Entrypoint }}'
CMD: CMD sets default command and/or parameters to the entrypoint, which can be overwritten from command line when docker container runs (docker run example "override").
docker build -t <image-name> /path/to/app
docker kill <container-id>
docker run -d <server-container-id>: run the contain in the background
docker exec --neractive --tty <container-id> bash: start a bash shell within a container
docker stop <container-id> stop the container gracely
docker stop -t 0 <container-id>: stop the container forcefully
docker rm <container-id>: remove container
docker ps -aq | xargs docker rm: remove all conotainers
docker rmi <image-id>: remove the image

docker run -d -p 5001:5000 <image-name>: outside port 5001 is binded to inside port 5000

docker run --rm --entrypoint sh -v /tmp/container:/tmp ubuntu -c "echo 'Hello there.' > /tmp/file && cat /tmp/file"

docker run --name=alpine --entrypoint=sleep -d alpine infinity docker stats
