9 Working with Containers #

After you have created a custom image, you can start containers based on it. You can run an instance of the image using the docker run command. The command accepts several arguments:

A container name—it is recommended to name your container
A user to use in your container
A mount point
A particular host name, etc

9.1 Starting and Removing Containers #

Containers normally exit when their main process finishes. For example, if a container starts a particular application, the container exits as soon as the application quits. You can start the container again by running:

> docker start -ai <container name>

To remove unused containers:

> docker rm <container name>
