Docker Cheat Sheet
This is a quick reference cheat sheet for Docker. And you can find the most common Docker commands here.
Miscellaneous
Batch clean
Registry commands
Login to a Registry
$ docker login $ docker login localhost:8080 Logout from a Registry
$ docker logout $ docker logout localhost:8080 Searching an Image
$ docker search nginx $ docker search nginx --stars=3 --no-trunc busybox Pulling an Image
$ docker pull nginx $ docker pull eon01/nginx localhost:5000/myadmin/nginx Pushing an Image
$ docker push eon01/nginx $ docker push eon01/nginx localhost:5000/myadmin/nginx Docker Hub
| Docker Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
docker search search_word | Search docker hub for images. |
docker pull user/image | Downloads an image from docker hub. |
docker login | Authenticate to docker hub |
docker push user/image | Uploads an image to docker hub. |
Clean Up
Volumes
docker volume prune Remove all volumes not used by at least one container
Images
Remove all dangling (not tagged and is not associated with a container) images:
docker image prune Remove all images which are not used by existing containers
docker image prune -a Containers
Stop all running containers
docker stop $(docker ps -a -q) Delete stopped containers
docker container prune Clean All
Cleans up dangling images, containers, volumes, and networks (ie, not associated with a container)
docker system prune Additionally, remove any stopped containers and all unused images (not just dangling images)
docker system prune -a Docker Networking
Creating Networks
docker network create -d overlay MyOverlayNetwork docker network create -d bridge MyBridgeNetwork docker network create -d overlay \ --subnet=192.168.0.0/16 \ --subnet=192.170.0.0/16 \ --gateway=192.168.0.100 \ --gateway=192.170.0.100 \ --ip-range=192.168.1.0/24 \ --aux-address="my-router=192.168.1.5" \ --aux-address="my-switch=192.168.1.6" \ --aux-address="my-printer=192.170.1.5" \ --aux-address="my-nas=192.170.1.6" \ MyOverlayNetwork Docker Images
Building Images
$ docker build . $ docker build github.com/creack/docker-firefox $ docker build - < Dockerfile $ docker build - < context.tar.gz $ docker build -t eon/my-nginx . $ docker build -f myOtherDockerfile . $ curl example.com/remote/Dockerfile | docker build -f - . Docker Containers
Manipulating
Renaming a Container
docker rename my-nginx my-nginx Removing a Container
docker rm my-nginx Updating a Container
docker update --cpu-shares 512 -m 300M my-nginx Creating
docker create [options] IMAGE -a, --attach # attach stdout/err -i, --interactive # attach stdin (interactive) -t, --tty # pseudo-tty --name NAME # name your image -p, --publish 5000:5000 # port map (host:container) --expose 5432 # expose a port to containers -P, --publish-all # publish all ports --link container:alias # linking -v, --volume `pwd`:/app # mount (absolute paths needed) -e, --env NAME=hello # env vars #Example
$ docker create --name my\_redis --expose 6379 redis:3.0.2 Information

Getting Started
Create and run a container in background
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started -d- Run the container in detached mode-p 80:80- Map port 80 to port 80 in the containerdocker/getting-started- The image to use Create and run a container in foreground
$ docker run -it -p 8001:8080 --name my-nginx nginx -it- Interactive bash mode-p 8001:8080- Map port 8001 to port 8080 in the container--name my-nginx- Specify a namenginx- The image to use
