Docker Quickstart

List images on machine:

docker images

Pull down a new image:

docker pull swaggerapi/petstore

List containers:

docker ps

# List all, including stopped containers:
docker ps -a

## E.g. output:
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                         COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS                      NAMES
4ceada07ea84   swaggerapi/petstore           "bash /petstore/run.…"   4 seconds ago   Up 3 seconds   0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp     dreamy_euclid
8fc469fed0a9   mongo                         "docker-entrypoint.s…"   8 months ago    Up 4 weeks     0.0.0.0:27017->27017/tcp   mongodb

Start a container from an image:

docker run --platform linux/amd64 -p 8080:8080 -d swaggerapi/petstore

# Start a container with an exposed port to the local machine: container 8080 -> local 8080
docker run -p 8080:8080 -d swaggerapi/petstore

# Do the same on mac M1 for an image that wasn't meant for it:
docker run --platform linux/amd64 -p 8080:8080 -d swaggerapi/petstore

Stop a container:

docker stop <name>

Go in to the container using bash to look around:

docker exec -it dreamy_euclid bash
