Docker commands

The Docker command-line interface is a tool that allows users to interact with containers. It provides a set of commands that you can use to build Docker images and create and manage containers, images, networks, and volumes. It interacts with the containerd daemon using a socket file or network.

The most common commands you can use are the following:

  • build: This allows you to build a new Docker image using a Dockerfile
  • run: This starts a new container
  • start: This restarts one or more stopped containers
  • stop: This will stop one or more running containers
  • login: This is used to gain access to private registries
  • pull: This downloads an image or a repository from a registry
  • push: This uploads an image or a repository to a registry
  • build: This helps create an image from a provided Dockerfile
  • images: This lists all images on your machine
  • ps: This lists all running containers
  • exec: This executes a command in a running container...
