#Docker Useful Commands

1. docker version
2. docker-machine ls
3. As we are running docker on VM not on windows directly to fix issues related error regarding docker version we can use the following commands:

available command: docker-machine help

docker-machine env default (it will list out all the commands for connecting to the default docker machine)

$ docker-machine start default

$ docker-machine env default

$ eval $(docker-machine env default)

docker build -t tagname . short for --tag

FROM <Repository>[<:tag>]

FROM <Repository>[<@digest>]

• purpose of FROM instruction is to specify base image
• FROM instruction must be the first in a Dockerfile
• The argument must define a repository but a tag is optional
• Argument might refer to a digest, to specify the image

docker run --name (name of the container) -it (name of the image)

exmaple : docker run --name test -it debian

--name: Assign a name to the container

-it: The -it instructs Docker to allocate a pseudo-TTY connected to the container’s stdin; creating an interactive bash shell in the container.

docker ps

usage: All the containers running on your machine

docker search image-name

docker pull image-name:tag-name

docker stop container-name

`docker rm container-name'
