Run Command

Run a command in a new container

Display the help information using the following command:

docker container run --help

Example of creating a container for the swaggerapi/swagger-editor image with the name swagger-editor.

docker container run -it -p 80:8080 --name swagger-editor swaggerapi/swagger-editor

Since the -it options were used, you can stop the container using CTRL+C.

Access the swagger-editor using the following address:

http://localhost

This command can only be used for creating a container based on an image. Once the container was created you can start it using the start command. If you are not sure about the name of the container find it using the list command.

It is better to have a name for the container so that you know what to start (or stop or delete).
