Play with a new image

Found a new image, want to play with it?

Title

Command

Explain

Run image in detached, terminal mode

 
docker run --rm -dt --name <name> <image>:<tag>

Usually, you don’t need volume / dir mount, and port mapping. --rm automatically remove it self at stopping.

Enter the container

 
docker exec -it <name> bash

Enter the container’s terminal.

Stop the container (auto remove)

 
docker container stop <name>

That’s why we need a name when run.
