Docker CLI Reference
Docker is the most popular container runtime, used to build, ship, and run applications in isolated environments. The docker CLI is how you interact with the Docker daemon to manage containers, images, networks, and volumes.
Most Used Docker Commands

|---|---|---|
| run | Create and start a container | docker run -d -p 80:80 nginx |
| exec | Run command in container | docker exec -it app /bin/sh |
| build | Build an image | docker build -t myapp:v1 . |
| compose up | Start services | docker compose up -d --build |
| logs | View container logs | docker logs -f --tail 50 app |
| ps | List containers | docker ps -a |

docker run Flag Guide
-d— Run in background (detached)-it— Interactive with TTY (for shell access)-p host:container— Map ports-v host:container— Mount volumes-e KEY=value— Set environment variables--restart— Restart policy (always, unless-stopped, on-failure)--memory / --cpus— Resource limits--network— Connect to a Docker network
Docker Compose
Docker Compose manages multi-container applications. The CLI integrated into Docker (docker compose) reads a docker-compose.yml and handles the full lifecycle: build, up, down, logs, restart, and more.
Privacy First
All command building happens in your browser. Your container names, image tags, environment variables, and infrastructure details are never sent to any server.
