My Mostly Used Docker Commands

# remove all stopped containers $ docker prune # docker full cleanup $ docker system prune -a --volumes # check disk usage by docker $ docker system df # check the service version # --rm: this will remove the container after stop $ docker run --rm redis redis-server --version $ docker run --rm node node -v 

# pull docker image $ docker pull redis # list pulled images $ docker images # remove image $ docker rmi redis 

# 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 <container_name|container_id> bash $ docker exec -it redis-master bash # execute command without go inside container # docker exec <container_name> <command_to_run_inside_container> $ docker exec redis-master redis-cli GET username # remove container $ docker rm redis-master 

 # 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 

 # create new network # docker network create <options> <network_name>  $ 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 <network> <container> $ docker network connect redis-net redis-master # disconnect from network $ docker network disconnect redis-net redis-master # remove network $ docker network rm redis-net 

 # compose start $ docker-compose -f <docker-compose.yml> up # compose stop. This will remove all containers as well $ docker-compose -f <docker-compose.yml> down # compose stop + delete volumes $ docker-compose -f <docker-compose.yml> down -v 

 # inspect container # docker inspect <container_name> $ docker inspect redis-master # inspect image $ docker inspect redis # inspect docker network $ docker network inspect redis-net
