docker pull <image name>
docker run -it -d <image name>
docker ps
docker ps -a //show all the running and exited containers
docker exec -it <container name> /bin/bash

or docker exec -it <container name> sh

docker stop
docker kill //kills the container by stopping its execution immediately
docker commit //creates a new image of an edited container on the local system
docker login //login to the docker hub repository
docker push <username/image name> //push an image to the docker hub repository
docker images //lists all the locally stored docker images
docker rm <container id>
docker rmi <image-id>
docker build <path to docker file> //build an image from a specified docker file
docker log <container-id> // show logs about your container, for troubleshooting

Backup image and load the backup

root@Ubuntu18-Docker:~# docker save -o /root/nginx.tar nginx
root@Ubuntu18-Docker:~# ls
nginx.tar  snap
root@Ubuntu18-Docker:~#

You can load this tar file into other machine’s image list:

root@controller:~# docker load -i /root/nginx.tar

Export Container / Import to Image

docker export / docker import and docker save / docker load serve different purposes.

docker export (and import) are commands to export/import a container’s root filesystem; from the command’s “help” output;

Export a container's filesystem as a tar archive

When running these commands, you’ll only get an archive of the container’s filesystem, but not the image’s configuration (such as the CMD, ENTRYPOINT and ENV).

The docker save / docker load commands on the other hand, allow you to save/load an image, including their configuration. From the command description;Using those commands, you can transfer an image between docker hosts (without using a registry), and preserve the layers and image configuration.

In this way, even portainer will be still able to manage this new container.

=========================================================================

Here is an example how to download a image from DockerHub and how to push it to your own repository:

docker pull devisty/xssh:v2
docker image list

Create a new repository xssh from your Dockerhub’s johnyan2 account.

docker tag devisty/xssh:v2 johnyan2/xssh:latest
docker push

Publish Your Own Docker Image to Docker Hub


root@Ubuntu18-Docker:~# docker login
Login with your Docker ID to push and pull images from Docker Hub. If you don't have a Docker ID, head over to https://hub.docker.com to create one.

You also can download an image to local then push it to your own repository:

Run Scheduled Task in Docker

For example , use Certbo command to renew HTTPS/SSL certificate in Docker：

1

certbot renew

Run it from host（ certbotdocker is container ‘s name）：

1

docker exec –it certbotdocker certbot renew

Put it into crontab -e ：

1

2

0 2 * */2 * docker exec certbotdocker certbot renew   # 每隔两个月的凌晨2点执行更新

Clean Docker Images and Volumes

1  Delete All Images and Vulumes (even it is running)

Save follow code to docker-cleanup.sh：

#!/bin/bash
docker kill $(docker ps -aq)
docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
docker rmi $(docker images -q)
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)

Run .sh file：

bash docker-cleanup.sh

2 Only Delete non-running volumes and images

#!/bin/bash
docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
docker rmi $(docker images -q)
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)

You will get an error message for those running dockers, but will not be deleted.

Write Inputs into a File

Using cat command to directly write keyboard inputs into a file.

root@8a14b324cde5:/etc/nginx/conf.d# cat > portainer.conf <<EOF
> server {
>     listen       80;
>     server_name  awsportainer.51sec.org;
> 
> location / {
>     proxy_pass       http://aws.51sec.org:9000;
>     proxy_redirect             off;
>     proxy_http_version         1.1;
>     proxy_set_header Upgrade   $http_upgrade;
>     proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
>     proxy_set_header Host      $host;
>     proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
>     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
>     }
> }
> EOF

In this way, you will not need to install nano or vi into your docker.

Note: $ will be omitted from the file. If you will need to enter $, you might still need install nano or vi.

Docker Networking

1）Create a new network


 	 docker network create <network-name>

2）Connect container into network


 	docker run --net=<network-name> ...

or join existing docker into network


 	docker network connect <network-name> <container-name>

3）ping docker with its name


 	docker exec -ti <container-name-A> ping <container-name-B>

Ps：需要注意的是，如果容器没有指定名称(–name)，那么就只能用id。

64 bytes from c1 (172.18.0.4): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.137 ms
64 bytes from c1 (172.18.0.4): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.073 ms
64 bytes from c1 (172.18.0.4): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.074 ms
64 bytes from c1 (172.18.0.4): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.074 ms
请参阅文档的此部分；

注意：与旧版本不同links，新网络将不会创建环境变量，也不会与其他容器共享环境变量。

此功能当前不支持别名

4）Disconnect from default bridge network

由于容器仍然连接着默认bridge docker0，而现在我们已经不需要它，所以应该将容器与docker0的连接断开，执行以下操作：


 	# 断开容器与docker0的连接
 	docker network disconnect bridge name1
 	docker network disconnect bridge name2

You might need to install ping utility first using comand

apt update & apt install iputils-ping

[root@centos-nextcloud-aria2 ~]# docker exec -it nginx ping portainer
