Day20 of #90daysofdevops | Docker cheat sheet

So far we have learned everything about docker in previous blogs where we used several commands.

Today's blog is the one-stop solution for all the commands related to docker.

Docker Cheat Sheet

Basics:

Pull an image from Docker Hub:
```
  docker pull image_name:tag
```
List downloaded images:
```
  docker images
```
Run a container from an image:
```
  docker run [options] image_name:tag
```
List running containers:
```
  docker ps
```
List all containers (including stopped):
```
  docker ps -a
```
Start a stopped container:
```
  docker start container_id_or_name
```
Stop a running container gracefully:
```
  docker stop container_id_or_name
```
Forcefully stop a running container:
```
  docker kill container_id_or_name
```
Remove a container:
```
  docker rm container_id_or_name
```
Remove an image:
```
  docker rmi image_id_or_name
```

Advanced:

Run a container with a custom name:

  docker run --name custom_container_name image_name:tag

Run a container in detached/background mode:
```
  docker run -d image_name:tag
```

Map a host port to a container port:

  docker run -p host_port:container_port image_name:tag

Mount a host directory into a container:

  docker run -v /host/path:/container/path image_name:tag

View logs of a container:
```
  docker logs container_id_or_name
```

Execute a command inside a running container:

  docker exec -it container_id_or_name command

Build an image from a Dockerfile:

  docker build -t image_name:tag /path/to/Dockerfile_directory

Push an image to Docker Hub (after tagging):
```
  docker push image_name:tag
```
Clean up unused resources (containers, images, volumes, networks):
```
  docker system prune
```

Inspect container or image details:

  docker inspect container_or_image_id_or_name

Check Docker version:
```
  docker --version
```
Compose and manage multi-container applications with Docker Compose.

Remember to replace the placeholders image_name, tag, container_id_or_name, host_port, container_port, etc., with your specific values.

This cheat sheet covers some of the basic and advanced Docker commands. Docker is a powerful tool with many features, and there's much more to explore. Happy containerization!

Thanks for reading the blog & do share them with someone in need :)
