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>
