Docker tips

Docker images/container commands

docker images -a                                # Docker image listing (all); alias di
docker rmi -f image_name1 image_name2           # Deleting images with force; alias drmi
docker ps -a                                    # Docker container listing (all); alias dps
docker system prune -a                          # Purging all anused or dangling images, containers, volumes, and networks; alias dprune
docker start container_id/name                  # Starting container
docker stop container_id/name                   # Stoping container
docker exec -it container_id/name /bin/bash     # Execute a running container

Docker image building (based on Dockerfile)

docker build --no-cache -t image_name:tag .     # Image building without cache

docker run --name container_name -v host_directory:/container_directory -it image_name /bin/bash  # Run a container with host volume mounting
docker run --isolation=hyperv --name container_name -it image_name cmd.exe                        # Run a container in a Windows environment
