The docker cheat sheet is just meant to be a list of commands that I’ve found useful when working with Docker. This is provided with little in the way of explanation or instruction. I’ll be providing the details in articles that will follow.

 
 

Build an image

docker build . -t [accountname/imagename] -f [dockerfile name]

example

docker build . -t jakewatkins/exampleapp0831 -f dockerfile.standalone

 
 

Create a container

docker create -p [port mapping] –name [container name] [image name]

Example

docker create -p 3000:80 –name testcontainer jakewatkins/exampleapp0831

 
 

Start a container

docker start [container name]

Example

docker start testcontainer

 
 

Just run the container

docker run -p [port mapping] –name [container name] [image name]

Example

docker run -p 3000:80 –name testcontainer jakewatkins/exampleapp0831

 
 

Get the logs from a running container

docker logs [container name]

Example

docker logs testcontainer

 
 

Run an image, give me a shell and then remove the container when I exit:

docker run -it –rm [image name]

Example

Docker run -it –rm jakewatkins/example0831
