Once it's installed, complete the setup process and you're all set to run a Docker container.
|
|
|
|
## Try it out
|
|
|
|
In this hands-on guide, you will see how to run a Docker container using Docker Desktop.
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions to run a container using the CLI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Run your first container
|
|
|
|
Open your CLI terminal and start a container by running the `docker run` command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 8080:80 docker/welcome-to-docker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Access the frontend
|
|
|
|
For this container, the frontend is accessible on port `8080`. To open the website, visit [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) in your browser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Manage containers using Docker Desktop
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Open Docker Desktop and select the **Containers** field on the left sidebar.
|
|
2. You can view information about your container including logs, and files, and even access the shell by selecting the **Exec** tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Select the **Inspect** field to obtain detailed information about the container. You can perform various actions such as pause, resume, start or stop containers, or explore the **Logs**, **Bind mounts**, **Exec**, **Files**, and **Stats** tabs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Docker Desktop simplifies container management for developers by streamlining the setup, configuration, and compatibility of applications across different environments, thereby addressing the pain points of environment inconsistencies and deployment challenges.
|
|
|
|
## What's next?
|
|
|
|
Now that you have Docker Desktop installed and ran your first container, it's time to start developing with containers.
