Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. Docker enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you can deliver software quickly. With Docker, you can manage your infrastructure in the same ways you manage your applications. By taking advantage of Docker’s methodologies for shipping, testing, and deploying code quickly, you can significantly reduce the delay between writing code and running it in production. In this post, I will mention docker commands which we need or most of the use-cases.
- Lifecycle Commands
- Starting and Stopping Containers
- Docker Image Commands
- Docker Container And Image Information
- Network Commands
Lifecycle Commands
- Create a container (without starting it):
docker create [IMAGE]
- Rename an existing container
docker rename [CONTAINER_NAME] [NEW_CONTAINER_NAME]
- Run a command in a new container
docker run [IMAGE] [COMMAND]
- Remove container after it exits
docker run --rm [IMAGE]
- Start a container and keep it running
docker run -td [IMAGE]
- Start a container and creates an interactive bash shell in the container
docker run -it [IMAGE]
- Create, Start, and run a command inside the container and remove the container after executing command.
docker run -it-rm [IMAGE]
- Delete a container (if it is not running)
docker rm [CONTAINER]
- Update the configuration of the container
docker update [CONTAINER]
Starting and Stopping Containers
- Start Container
docker start [CONTAINER]
- Stop running Container
docker stop [CONTAINER]
- Stop running Container and start it again

docker unpause [CONTAINER]
- Block a container until others stop
docker wait [CONTAINER]
- Kill a container by sending a SIGKILL to a running container
