Docker cheatsheet

Run a new container in the foregrond

docker run -ti image

Stop, delete all docker containers

docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)

docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

Exec bash inside a running container

docker exec -ti CONTAINER_ID bash

Exec bash inside the last run container

docker exec -ti $(docker ps -q |head -n1) bash

The "_Stop, Delete all docker containers section command: docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)_"

won't work. The -q option would relate to quitting an image. The correct formate to remove all images consecutively would be the following:

docker image rm $(docker images -a) --force

which would remove all images - the force option would just be an added measure if a container is being used or "dependent" on another image and/ or process. It also compounds the command to stop and remove all images which remove the need for the first command. - Thanks for the free resource
