In our last article I shared the steps to install docker and configure storage to use a thin pool LVM for our docker. Now let’s talk about how to run different Docker container.
Before I show you some command line examples of managing docker containers, let me give you a brief overview on the important terminologies
- Docker daemon: The daemon managing your Docker containers and images. We call it shortly Docker.
- Docker engine: This is the Docker infrastructure and workflow process
- Docker host or Docker node: This is the machine that is running Docker engine.
- Docker image: This is the contents or the package that we can run as a container. It provides the base operating system, and the application, and it contains only read only layers, and no read write layers.
- Container: An instantiated version of an image. It is the instance that we run on top of the image, and that contains all the read only layers, plus the read write layer that is added on top.
Let me show you some examples
Check status of docker
Before we start with the configuration it is important to make sure our docker service is running
[root@node1 ~]# systemctl status docker

Use normal user to manage docker
Once docker is installed, we will have a group ‘docker’ available on
our system. Any user which is part of docker
group will be allowed to execute docker related commands
[root@node1 ~]# grep docker /etc/group
docker:x:980:deepak
So let us add ‘deepak’ to docker group
[root@node1 ~]# usermod -aG docker deepak
Next switch user to ‘deepak’
[root@node1 ~]# su - deepak

Get information on available docker containers
Docker info is providing information about the current docker
environment that we are running. So we have no containers and images
that are stored on this machine, we can see the storage driver that we
have just configured, and all the different storage capacities, like
data space that is used, and we can find more information about the
entire docker environment. The docker info command is a useful command
to verify what exactly it is that docker currently is doing

Docker Hello World
Now let’s start with the first command, which is
docker run hello-world. Docker Hub provides a docker image with the
name hello world that allows you to run hello world.
Since the docker image is not available on our system, it is pulling (downloading) the image from it’s repo which will take some time.
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
d1725b59e92d: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:0add3ace90ecb4adbf7777e9aacf18357296e799f81cabc9fde470971e499788
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(amd64)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
You can see the summary of what this image has done displayed here on my screen.
- So Docker client contacted the Docker daemon,
- Docker daemon pulled hello world from Docker Hub,
- and Docker daemon created a new container from that image, which runs the executable that produces the output that we are currently reading.
So basically, it downloaded an image, it started container, it ran the commands, and then it exited.
To get an overview of currently running Docker containers, use
‘docker ps’
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
and if you want to get an overview of all Docker containers that have
been running, but who are exited, use ‘docker ps -a’
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
ea540759dd3c hello-world "/hello" 31 seconds ago Exited (0) 29 seconds ago eloquent_chandrasekhar
Now this is useful information as well, because we can see the hello
world images we used to run the command hello.
It was created 31 seconds ago, and it exited 29 seconds ago, and
it has a logical name, eloquent_chandrasekhar.
These logical names are generated automatically, and you can use them to
manage containers in an easier way. I mean, dazzling gates is a little
bit easier to type than this container id.
Download ubuntu container image
To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container
with ‘bash’. This command will download the Ubuntu image, in case it’s
not yet present on this local machine, and it will start an
interactive terminal mode, in which the command bash is executed,
and the result is that we suddenly are in bash shell.
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker run -it ubuntu bash
Unable to find image 'ubuntu:latest' locally

Also, other commands do relate to what we have in this container. You can see the thin provision volume that this container is using, with the size of 10 GB, and a used size of 107 MB. It’s thin provisioned, so this is not really using any storage on your computer.

How to exit from container?
To exit from a container, use control+p followed by control+q, and that will bring you back to a normal shell environment.
root@3cf05b3c26b7:/# [deepak@node1 ~]$
Now if we check for any running containers using ps, we will see
‘ubuntu’
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
3cf05b3c26b7 ubuntu "bash" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes suspicious_lamport
How to stop a container?
Now to stop a container you can simply run docker stop followed by the
name of the container which for us is suspicious_lamport
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker stop suspicious_lamport
suspicious_lamport
Next check the status again, which shows nothing. So there are no running containers at the moment
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
Now let us get an history of containers which were running on our system. It shows that ubuntu was created 4 minutes ago but exited 33 seconds ago
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
3cf05b3c26b7 ubuntu "bash" 4 minutes ago Exited (0) 33 seconds ago suspicious_lamport
ea540759dd3c hello-world "/hello" 7 minutes ago Exited (0) 7 minutes ago eloquent_chandrasekhar
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
3cf05b3c26b7 ubuntu "bash" 9 seconds ago Up 9 seconds suspicious_lamport
How to connect to a docker container?
Once you have started a docker container that is not in interactive
mode, if you want to run something within it, you can use docker exec
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker exec -it suspicious_lamport bash
root@3cf05b3c26b7:/# read escape sequence
So docker exec is a useful command that allows you to get into a
container, and to perform specific tasks within the container.
Now to exit from a container, use control+p followed by control+q,
and that will bring you back to a normal shell environment.
How to remove docker container?
If you want to remove the docker container from your system to
save some disk
space, that is possible as well. You should use docker rm,
followed by the name of the container, which is suspicious_lamport for
our case.
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker rm suspicious_lamport
suspicious_lamport
This has removed the container.
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
ea540759dd3c hello-world "/hello" 7 minutes ago Exited (0) 7 minutes ago eloquent_chandrasekhar
If you also want to remove the image, that is also possible, and you
will use docker rmi to do so. So docker rmi ubuntu will delete all
of the different layers that are available in the Ubuntu image
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker rmi ubuntu

How to query Docker Hub?
Now let’s query the Docker Hub some more. This allows us to look for different CentOS images that are available.
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker search CentOS

Here we can see that the name is CentOS, the description is the official build of CentOS.
If it says it’s the official build of CentOS, and normally this is created by the provider of the software. The start indicates the appreciation level, it has 5,062 starts, which means that this is a pretty reliable image. You can see other images as well, such as this one, which have not been appreciated with any start, which means that nobody has approved of it so far. That doesn’t mean anything, it just means that this is not a commonly used container image. So if you are using for something reliable, then this is probably the thing that you wanna use. Officially it’s indicating that it’s the official release.
Similarly if you want to find a specific operating system, or search for
a solution, like docker search mariadb, and then you can see a lot of
mariadb results are being displayed. Now let us download the
different image layers of mariadb, and run the Docker container on this
system.
[root@node1 ~]# docker run mariadb

You need to specify one of MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD and MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD
Now you can see that the container is complaining about the database, this uninitialized impassive option is not specified, so this container apparently need some more information in order to do its work.
Here as you see our mariadb container exited 17 minutes ago.
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker ps -a

How to check Docker logs?
There’s one more thing that I would like to discuss about managing containers, and that is debugging, finding out what is happening within a container. Docker logs may be useful. You can use these commands on a container to get information from the standard out and the standard error on the container’s console, provided that any such thing has been generated
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker logs suspicious_lamport
Here suspicious_lamport was our ubuntu container. Now since there are no errors the output is blank.
Let us check the logs of mariadb container
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
3cf05b3c26b7 ubuntu "bash" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes suspicious_lamport

ea540759dd3c hello-world "/hello" About an hour ago Exited (0) About an hour ago eloquent_chandrasekhar
Now as you see the error message which we observed while running the mariadb container
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker logs angry_poitras
error: database is uninitialized and password option is not specified
You need to specify one of MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD and MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD
To get more information on the container. This is all the information that has been used while creating the container.
[deepak@node1 ~]$ docker inspect suspicious_lamport

So we can see some current state information. We can see the image that is currently used. We can also see the storage it is using in a var lib container, followed by the container ID. We can see information about the configuration of the container, and if you scroll down, we can also see information about networking, for instance. So here we can see the network settings, including the IP address that is being used by this container, which is 172.17.0.2.
