I was able to run a docker container but if I do sudo docker-compose up -d but how to reopen/watch the screen again if I need and close again. I am using ubuntu.
Thanks
In order to follow the logs of all of the containers that are included in the docker-compose.yml file, run the command docker-compose logs -f (probably with sudo in your case) in the same directory in which you already ran sudo docker-compose up -d. You can find more information on the command here.
You are probably looking for docker attach (documentation). Usage is:
docker attach [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
I build and run an Docker Container using sudo privilege to do so I ran bellow commands
This command to build the container and its build successfully.
sudo docker build -t getting-started .
After that I ran the docker container using bellow command
sudo docker run -dp 3000:3000 getting-started
After running the docker container everything is running fine and I am able to see my container when I ran bellow command
sudo docker ps
But the problem is I am not able to see my container that I just built and ran in my Docker Desktop.
Note: If I build and run the docker container without sudo privilege then I am able to see the container in Docker Desktop.
So now what should I do to manage my containers using Docker Desktop those are build and running using sudo privilege.
i am facing the same problems for a while and didn't get anything that worked for me as of yet but maybe in your case if you can enable docker to run in rootless mode or add your user to docker group enable privileges to enable the user to use docker with out sudo it may also work for the docker desktop to access those images in the sudo mode.
try
https://askubuntu.com/questions/477551/how-can-i-use-docker-without-sudo
https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/
the other solution i thought up is to make the docker desktop use the context you are using for the docker engine which is the default not the desktop-linux it will create when its starting up maybe that will enable it to read the past containers you were using
or another solution is to run the docker desktop in sudo mode i dont know how to do that as of yet but its worth a shot if you can find out how
if your build successed you can run
docker ps -a
to see all the working and stoped containers
and you can run
docker logs --tail=50 container-name
so you can see the container logs and start fixing the issue
Trying to launch a Docker image but it will not launch the process
The command is as follows:
sudo docker run --security-opt seccomp=unconfined blackarchlinux/blackarch
no error message is returned.
I would do the following things
see if my container is running or it is created
$ docker ps or docker ps -a
see if my image is pulled ?
$ docker images
if container is created but not running then I could also check the logs
$ docker logs my-container-name
if you can add in more details, probably would be able to investigate more
You want to start a shell up inside the container and use the tools in there, I assume.
In that case you need to add the -it options and tell docker which program/shell you want to run. Something like
sudo docker run -it --security-opt seccomp=unconfined blackarchlinux/blackarch /bin/bash
I have problem with Docker. I created new container using sudo docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/Projekty/Xampp:/www pindr0p/xampp and I could access localhost:41062, but when i restarted my pc, i wanted to run docker container and again access server so I did sudo docker start myXampp but I can not access localhost:41062 anymore. Did I miss something? I even tried start with -p flags, but no success. Please help me.
Thanks
Restart your container by container Id
List all the containers who are existed or check the status of your containers after restart
docker ps -a
Then restart the container by Contaner Id
docker restart <container_id>
try to remove it competently
first please get list of dockers run as process
docker ps
then try to remove it:
docker rm <your-docker> --force
then try to run
docker ps
and make sure the docker removed
then try to
docker run blob
again
yes the container made from image again and all your new config reverted back
Stop the container using:
sudo docker stop 29ddc6836adfa14d4ec3a025fddd2e5587212fef77ba0d6edb83642a3daedd3e
and then try:
sudo docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/Projekty/Xampp:/www pindr0p/xampp
Despite Docker's Interactive tutorial and faq I lose my data when the container exits.
I have installed Docker as described here: http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/ubuntulinux
without any problem on ubuntu 13.04.
But it loses all data when exits.

I also tested it with interactive sessions with the same result. Did I forget something?
EDIT: IMPORTANT FOR NEW DOCKER USERS
As #mohammed-noureldin and others said, actually this is NOT a container exiting. Every time it just creates a new container.
You need to commit the changes you make to the container and then run it. Try this:
sudo docker pull ubuntu
sudo docker run ubuntu apt-get install -y ping
Then get the container id using this command:
sudo docker ps -l
Commit changes to the container:
sudo docker commit <container_id> iman/ping
Then run the container:
sudo docker run iman/ping ping www.google.com
This should work.
When you use docker run to start a container, it actually creates a new container based on the image you have specified.
Besides the other useful answers here, note that you can restart an existing container after it exited and your changes are still there.
docker start f357e2faab77 # restart it in the background
docker attach f357e2faab77 # reattach the terminal & stdin
There are following ways to persist container data:
Docker volumes
Docker commit
a) create container from ubuntu image and run a bash terminal.
$ docker run -i -t ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
b) Inside the terminal install curl
# apt-get update
# apt-get install curl
c) Exit the container terminal
# exit
d) Take a note of your container id by executing following command :
$ docker ps -a
e) save container as new image
$ docker commit <container_id> new_image_name:tag_name(optional)
f) verify that you can see your new image with curl installed.
$ docker images
$ docker run -it new_image_name:tag_name bash
# which curl
/usr/bin/curl
In addition to Unferth's answer, it is recommended to create a Dockerfile.
In an empty directory, create a file called "Dockerfile" with the following contents.
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get install ping
ENTRYPOINT ["ping"]
Create an image using the Dockerfile. Let's use a tag so we don't need to remember the hexadecimal image number.
$ docker build -t iman/ping .
And then run the image in a container.
$ docker run iman/ping stackoverflow.com
There are really great answers above to the asked question. There might be no need for another answer but still I want to give my personal opinion on the topic in the simplest words possible.
Here are some points about containers & images that will help us for a conclusion:
A docker image can be:
created-from-a-given-container
deleted
used-to-create-any-number-of-containers
A docker container can be:
created-from-an-image
started
stopped
restarted
deleted
used-to-create-any-number-of-images
A docker run command does this:
Downloads an image or uses a cached image
Creates a new container out of it
Starts the container
When a Dockerfile is used to create an image:
It is already well known that the image will eventually be used to run a docker container.
After issuing docker build command, docker behind-the-scenes creates a running container with a base-file-system and follows steps inside the Dockerfile to configure that container as per the developers need.
After the container is configured with specs of the Dockerfile, it will be committed as an image.
The image gets ready to rock & roll!
Conclusion:
As we can see, a docker container is independent of a docker image.
A container can be restarted provided the unique ID of that container [use docker ps --all to get the id].
Any operation like making a new directory, creating files, installing tools, etc. can be done inside the container when it is running. Once the container is stopped, it persists all the changes. Container stopping and restarting is like rebooting a computer system.
An already created container is always available for a restart but when we issue docker run command, a new container is created out of an image and hence it is like a new computer system. The changes made inside the old container - as we can understand now - are not available in this new container.
A final note:
I guess it's now obvious why the data seems to be lost yet it is always there.. but in a different [old] container. So, take a good note of the difference in docker start & docker run command & never get confused in them.
I have got a much simpler answer to your question, run the following two commands
sudo docker run -t -d ubuntu --name mycontainername /bin/bash
sudo docker ps -a
the above ps -a command returns a list of all containers. Take the name of the container which references the image name - 'ubuntu' . docker auto generates names for the containers for example - 'lightlyxuyzx', that's if you don't use the --name option.
The -t and -d options are important, the created container is detached and can be reattached as given below with the -t option.
With --name option, you can name your container in my case 'mycontainername'.
sudo docker exec -ti mycontainername bash
and this above command helps you login to the container with bash shell. From this point on any changes you make in the container is automatically saved by docker.
For example - apt-get install curl inside the container
You can exit the container without any issues, docker auto saves the changes.
On the next usage, All you have to do is, run these two commands every time you want to work with this container.
This Below command will start the stopped container:
sudo docker start mycontainername
sudo docker exec -ti mycontainername bash
Another example with ports and a shared space given below:
docker run -t -d --name mycontainername -p 5000:5000 -v ~/PROJECTS/SPACE:/PROJECTSPACE 7efe2989e877 /bin/bash
In my case:
7efe2989e877 - is the imageid of a previous container running
which I obtained using
docker ps -a
You might want to look at docker volumes if you you want to persist the data in your container. Visit https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/. The docker documentation is a very good place to start
My suggestion is to manage docker, with docker compose. Is an easy to way to manage all the docker's containers for your project, you can map the versions and link different containers to work together.
The docs are very simple to understand, better than docker's docs.

the similar problem (and no way Dockerfile alone could fix it) brought me to this page.
stage 0:
for all, hoping Dockerfile could fix it: until --dns and --dns-search will appear in Dockerfile support - there is no way to integrate intranet based resources into.
stage 1:
after building image using Dockerfile (by the way it's a serious glitch Dockerfile must be in the current folder), having an image to deploy what's intranet based, by running docker run script. example:
docker run -d \
--dns=${DNSLOCAL} \
--dns=${DNSGLOBAL} \
--dns-search=intranet \
-t pack/bsp \
--name packbsp-cont \
bash -c " \
wget -r --no-parent http://intranet/intranet-content.tar.gz \
tar -xvf intranet-content.tar.gz \
sudo -u ${USERNAME} bash --norc"
stage 2:
applying docker run script in daemon mode providing local dns records to have ability to download and deploy local stuff.
important point: run script should be ending with something like /usr/bin/sudo -u ${USERNAME} bash --norc to keep container running even after the installation scripts finishes.
no, it's not possible to run container in interactive mode for the full automation matter as it will remain inside internal shall command prompt until CTRL-p CTRL-q being pressed.
no, if interacting bash will not be executed at the end of the installation script, the container will terminate immediately after finishes script execution, loosing all installation results.
stage 3:
container is still running in background but it's unclear whether container has ended installation procedure or not yet. using following block to determine execution procedure finishes:
while ! docker container top ${CONTNAME} | grep "00[[:space:]]\{12\}bash \--norc" -
do
echo "."
sleep 5
done
the script will proceed further only after completed installation. and this is the right moment to call: commit, providing current container id as well as destination image name (it may be the same as on the build/run procedure but appended with the local installation purposes tag. example: docker commit containerID pack/bsp:toolchained.
see this link on how to get proper containerID
stage 4: container has been updated with the local installs as well as it has been committed into newly assigned image (the one having purposes tag added). it's safe now to stop container running. example: docker stop packbsp-cont
stage5: any moment the container with local installs require to run, start it with the image previously saved.
example: docker run -d -t pack/bsp:toolchained
a brilliant answer here How to continue a docker which is exited from user kgs
docker start $(docker ps -a -q --filter "status=exited")
(or in this case just docker start $(docker ps -ql) 'cos you don't want to start all of them)
docker exec -it <container-id> /bin/bash
That second line is crucial. So exec is used in place of run, and not on an image but on a containerid. And you do it after the container has been started.
None of the answers address the point of this design choice. I think docker works this way to prevent these 2 errors:
Repeated restart
Partial error
