In this lesson, we‘ll find out the basics of running Docker containers. We‘ll go over how to download images from Docker Hub, what happens when you stop containers, how to restart a container once it‘s been stopped, and also how to remove containers.

Run a container:

docker run mongo  // run the container, if container not exists, download from hub

This will output the console log in the command line

Another way to run docker is in the backage:

docker run -d mongo

To stop a container running:

docker stop <container id>

To varify there is not container running:

docker ps

List all the container regarelss running or not:

docker ps -a

Start an container:

docker start <container_id>

Remove an container:

docker rm <container_id>

Notice that container shoud be stop first, then you can remove it.
