These are all controlled through optional parameters to the commit command. There are a few optional things we can do using the commit command that will change information about our images.įor example, we might want to record who the author of our image is or capture a commit message telling us about the state of the image. Stop the container hi_mom before moving on to the next section. Now go look at As you can see, the index.html page now shows the “Hi Mom!” message just like we wanted. If you look at the running containers now, you will see we have one called hi_mom: The -d option tells Docker to run the container detached so we get our command prompt back. Note that docker run is the equivalent of executing docker create followed by docker start we are just saving a step here. Now, let’s create a new container based on the image we just created and start it. If we list all of the Docker containers, we should have none: Let’s stop the Docker container that is currently running and delete it. We can see that it is still running using the docker ps command. Step 9: Delete the Original ContainerĮarlier we started a Docker container.

This command effectively commits and tags at the same time, which is helpful but not required. You can also tag the image as it is created by adding another argument to the end of the command like this: We can actually use complicated tags here with version numbers and all the other fixings of a tag command, but for our example, we’ll just create an image with a meaningful name. We need the image ID for the command, so given that the image ID listed above is f7a677e35ee8, our command will be:Īnd if we look at the index of images again, we can see that the s were replaced: Using docker tag, we can name the image we just created. Let’s tag it so it will be easier to find later. This is an image created from the running container.

It does not have a repository or tag, but it exists. To save a Docker container, we just need to use the docker commit command like this: The Docker commands to do this are quite simple.
#Docker run image and give container name how to
However, we want to know how to save this container as an image so we can make other containers based on this one. So at this point, we’ve updated the contents of a running container and as long as we keep that container around, we don’t need to do anything. Now reload your browser or revisit You will see the message “Hi Mom!” in place of the default nginx welcome page. We will use the docker cp command to copy this file onto the running container.

Then save the file and return to the command line. Using an editor on your machine, create an index.html file in the same directory that you have been running Docker commands from. Let’s create a new index.html file and copy it onto the running container. You could do practically anything you wanted here.

In order to keep things as simple as possible, we are just going to copy a new index.html file onto the server. So if you wanted to modify this running container so that it behaves in a specific way, there are a variety of ways to do that. You will see the default “Welcome to nginx!” page. Let’s start the container and see what happens. Note here that the container is not running, so you won’t see it in the container list unless you use the -a flag (-a is for all). If you look at the list of images on your system, you will now see the nginx:alpine image: Step 3: Inspect Containers When this happens, you will see something like this: Step 2: Inspect Images
#Docker run image and give container name download
If you don’t have the nginx:alpine image in your local docker image repository, it will download automatically. We are using nginx:alpine as a base image for the container. Here we have requested a new container named nginx_base with port 80 exposed to localhost. The Docker create command will create a new container for us from the command line: So that we don’t get bogged down in the details of any particular container, we can use nginx. Let’s get started by creating a running container.
