Running the Client

On the Same Host as the Server

In order to connect to the docker server over the Unix socket, the user running the client must have permissions to do so:

[testuser@docker-server ~]$ ls -al /var/run/docker.sock
srw-rw----. 1 root docker 0 Apr 25 16:00 /var/run/docker.sock

One way to do that is to make the user a member of "docker" group:

usermod -G docker testuser

List images in the local repository:

docker images

Remove an Image

Remove images from the local repository:

docker rmi

Pull an Image from Registry

Pull an image or a repository from a registry:

docker pull

Explore an Image

If the image has a shell, it can be run in interactive mode and explored:

 docker run -it <image-id|name> sh

Build an Image

docker build

Image History

docker history

Export the Filesystem

docker export

Container Lifecycle Operations

Create and Run a New Container

Create and run a new container:

docker run

Stop a Container

Stop a container:

docker stop
