Docker Commands
List All Running Docker Containers
docker ps
List All Docker Containers
docker ps -a
Start a Docker Container
docker start <container name>
Stop a Docker Container
docker stop <container name>
or
docker kill <container name>
Kill All Running Containers
docker kill $(docker ps -q)
View the logs of a Running Docker Container
docker logs <container name>
Delete All Stopped Docker Containers
Use -f option to nuke the running containers too.
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
Remove a Stopped Docker Container
docker rm <container name>
List all Docker Images
docker images -a
or
docker images
Run A Docker Image
docker run <image name>
Build a docker image
From the directory of the Dockerfile run:
docker build -t <tag name>
Remove a Docker Image
docker rmi <image name>
Delete All Docker Images
docker rmi $(docker images -q)
Delete All Untagged (dangling) Docker Images
docker rmi $(docker images -q -f dangling=true)
Remove Dangling Volumes
docker volume rm -f $(docker volume ls -f dangling=true -q)
Parameter that tells docker to run the container as a background process
-d
Example:
docker run -d <image name>
Map a Host Port to a Container Port
-p <host port>:<container port>
Example:
docker run -p 8080:8080 <image name>
SSH Into a Running Docker Container
Okay not technically SSH, but this will give you a bash shell in the
container.
sudo docker exec -it <container name> bash
Share Storage on a Host System with a Docker container
-v <host path>:<container path>
Example:
docker run -v <host path>:<container path> <image name>
Docker Compose Commands
Use Docker Compose to Build Containers
Run from directory of your docker-compose.yml file.
docker-compose build
Use Docker Compose to Start a Group of Containers
Use this command from directory of your docker-compose.yml file.
docker-compose up -d
This will tell Docker to fetch the latest version of the container from the
repo, and not use the local cache.
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate
This can be problematic if you’re doing CI builds with Jenkins and pushing
Docker images to another host, or using for CI testing. I was deploying a
Spring Boot Web Application from Jekins, and found the docker container
was not getting refreshed with the latest Spring Boot artifact.
#stop docker containers, and rebuild
docker-compose stop -t 1
docker-compose rm -f
docker-compose pull
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
Follow the Logs of Running Docker Containers With Docker Compose
docker-compose logs -f
Save a Running Docker Container as an Image
docker commit <image name> <name for image>
Follow the logs of one container running under Docker Compose
docker-compose logs pump <name>
Docker Swarm Commands
Is Docker Swarm automatically enabled?
No, by default, Docker Swarm is not available
Types of Nodes in a Docker Swarm
Manager and worker
Enable the First Node of a Docker Swarm
docker swarm init
List Running Services
docker service ls
Add a Node to a Swarm Cluster
docker swarm join --token <token> --listen-addr <ip:port>
Can manager nodes run containers?
Yes, manager nodes normally run containers
Retrieve the Join Token
docker swarm join-token
List Nodes in a Cluster
docker node ls
Can you run a 'docker node ls' from a worker node?
No. Docker Swarm commands can only be from manager nodes
List Services in a Docker Swarm
docker service ls
List Containers in a Service
docker service ps <service name>
Remove a Service
docker service rm <service name>
Remove a Node from a Swarm Cluster
docker node rm <node name>
Promote a Node from Worker to Manager
docker node promote <node name>
Change a Node from a Manager to a Worker
docker node demote <node name>
Map a Host Port to a Container Port
- p <host port>:<container port>
Example:
docker run -p 8080:8080 <image name>
