My Mostly Used Docker Commands

Mostly used Docker commands collection by me. generic # remove all stopped containers $ docker prune # docker full cleanup $ docker system prune -a --volumes # check disk usage by docker $ docker system df images # pull docker image $ docker pull redis # list pulled images $ docker images # remove image $ docker rmi redis container # create and run docker container $ docker run --name redis-master -d -p 6379:6379 redis # run docker in specific network $ docker run --name redis-master --network redis-net -d -p 6379:6379 redis # stop container $ docker stop redis-master # start container $ docker start redis-master # check running containers $ docker ps # check all containers $ docker ps -a # restart container $ docker restart redis-master # check logs $ docker logs redis-master # go inside container # docker exec -it bash $ docker exec -it redis-master bash # execute command without go inside container # docker exec $ docker exec redis-master redis-cli GET username # remove container $ docker rm redis-master volums # list all volumes $ docker volume list # create a new volume $ docker volume create redis-volume # remove volume $ docker volume rm redis-volume # inspect volume in a container $ docker volume inspect redis_master # mount volume to container $ docker run -v redis-volume:/data redis-master network # create new network # docker network create $ docker network create redis-net $ docker network create --subnet=192.168.1.0/24 redis-net # list all networks $ docker network list # check who is in the network $ docker network inspect redis-net # check what is inside network $ docker network inspect redis-net # connect to specific container # docker network connect $ docker network connect redis-net redis-master # disconnect from network $ docker network disconnect redis-net redis-master # remove network $ docker network rm redis-net docker-compose # compose start $ docker-compose -f up # compose stop.

Mostly used Docker commands collection by me.

generic

# remove all stopped containers
$ docker prune

# docker full cleanup
$ docker system prune -a --volumes

# check disk usage by docker
$ docker system df

images

# pull docker image
$ docker pull redis

# list pulled images
$ docker images

# remove image
$ docker rmi redis

container

# create and run docker container
$ docker run --name redis-master -d -p 6379:6379 redis

# run docker in specific network
$ docker run --name redis-master --network redis-net -d -p 6379:6379 redis

# stop container
$ docker stop redis-master

# start container
$ docker start redis-master

# check running containers
$ docker ps

# check all containers
$ docker ps -a

# restart container
$ docker restart redis-master

# check logs
$ docker logs redis-master

# go inside container
# docker exec -it  bash
$ docker exec -it redis-master bash

# execute command without go inside container
# docker exec  
$ docker exec redis-master redis-cli GET username

# remove container
$ docker rm redis-master

volums


# list all volumes
$ docker volume list

# create a new volume
$ docker volume create redis-volume

# remove volume
$ docker volume rm redis-volume

# inspect volume in a container
$ docker volume inspect redis_master

# mount volume to container
$ docker run -v redis-volume:/data redis-master

network


# create new network
# docker network create   
$ docker network create redis-net
$ docker network create --subnet=192.168.1.0/24 redis-net

# list all networks
$ docker network list

# check who is in the network
$ docker network inspect redis-net

# check what is inside network
$ docker network inspect redis-net

# connect to specific container
# docker network connect  
$ docker network connect redis-net redis-master

# disconnect from network
$ docker network disconnect redis-net redis-master

# remove network
$ docker network rm redis-net

docker-compose


# compose start
$ docker-compose -f  up

# compose stop. This will remove all containers as well
$ docker-compose -f  down

# compose stop + delete volumes
$ docker-compose -f  down -v

debug


# inspect container
# docker inspect 
$ docker inspect redis-master

# inspect image
$ docker inspect redis

# inspect docker network
$ docker network inspect redis-net

Cheers... Happy coding!!!
