Basics in Docker

• Major difference between docker run and docker start is that the former first creates the container and then starts it.
• To install some application you may need to run the container by root(you may also need to apt-get update to update package list).

• You can exec a container not only by container id but also by its name.
• To  "Copy files/folders between a container and the local filesystem"
  docker cp [OPTIONS] CONTAINER:SRC_PATH DEST_PATH
  docker cp [OPTIONS] SRC_PATH CONTAINER:DEST_PATH
  For example,
  docker cp myFile.txt container_name:/home/work
• To exit from container without stopping one, ctrl+p and ctrl+q.
• Run multiple terminals in a single running container:
  docker exec -it <container> bash
• If you fail to run or start a container with some directory in the host machine bound, doubt the shared drives' setting.

• We can mount multiple volumes or disks by adding --mount options
