Here are some common Docker commands for managing containers, images, networks, and volumes:

1. Docker Container Commands:

• Run a container:
  

   docker run -d --name <container-name> <image-name>
  

  • Runs a container in detached mode (-d) from the specified image.
  • Example: docker run -d --name my-nginx nginx

• List running containers:
  

   docker ps
  

  • Shows all currently running containers.
  • Add -a to list all containers, including stopped ones.

• Stop a container:
  

   docker stop <container-id|container-name>
  

  • Stops a running container.

• Remove a container:
  

   docker rm <container-id|container-name>
  

  • Deletes a stopped container.
  • Use -f to force-remove a running container.

2. Docker Image Commands:

• Build an image:
  

   docker build -t <image-name>:<tag> <path-to-dockerfile>
  

  • Builds an image from a Dockerfile.
  • Example: docker build -t my-app:latest .

• List images:
  

   docker images
  

  • Lists all images available on the host.

• Remove an image:
  

   docker rmi <image-id|image-name>
  

  • Deletes an image.
  • Use -f to force-remove an image if it's being used.

• Pull an image from a repository:
  

   docker pull <image-name>:<tag>
  

  • Downloads an image from Docker Hub or other registries.
  • Example: docker pull ubuntu:latest

3. Docker Network Commands:

• List networks:
  

   docker network ls
  

  • Shows all Docker networks.

• Create a network:
  

   docker network create <network-name>
  

  • Creates a new Docker network.

• Connect a container to a network:
  

   docker network connect <network-name> <container-name>
  

• Inspect a network:
  

   docker network inspect <network-name>
  

  • Shows detailed information about a Docker network.

4. Docker Volume Commands:

• Create a volume:
  

   docker volume create <volume-name>
  

  • Creates a new volume for persistent storage.

• List volumes:
  

   docker volume ls
  

  • Lists all Docker volumes.

• Remove a volume:
  

   docker volume rm <volume-name>
  

  • Deletes a volume.

• Inspect a volume:
  

   docker volume inspect <volume-name>
  

  • Shows detailed information about a volume.

5. Miscellaneous Commands:

• View container logs:
  

   docker logs <container-id|container-name>
  

  • Displays logs from a specific container.
  • Use -f to follow the logs in real-time.

• Access a running container's shell:
  

   docker exec -it <container-id|container-name> /bin/bash
  

  • Starts an interactive shell inside a running container.
  • Example: docker exec -it my-nginx /bin/bash

• Tag an image:
  

   docker tag <image-name> <repository>/<image-name>:<tag>
  

  • Tags an image to prepare it for pushing to a registry.
  • Example: docker tag my-app myrepo/my-app:latest

• Push an image to a registry:
  

   docker push <repository>/<image-name>:<tag>
  

  • Uploads an image to a Docker registry.

• Prune unused containers, images, networks, and volumes:
  

   docker system prune
  

  • Cleans up unused resources.
  • Add -a to remove all stopped containers and unused images.

These commands cover most of the typical operations when working with Docker, such as managing containers, images, and networking.
