1. to Start a Container
A container is a lightweight and interactable “OS” defined by an image. Since containers are lightweight, in general, we can either create a new container, or restart a container.
We use docker run to start a container. The cli command is
docker run [options] image [command] [arguments]
Interactive Shell within the Container. Use the -it option. -i enables stdin; -t assigns a pseudo-TTY for shell. Therefore, -it provides interactive shell.
docker run -it image bash
Launch a Background Task.
