# 🐳 Docker Command Cheat Sheet
Docker simplifies container management for developers. Below is a **fun and easy guide** to the most useful Docker commands you'll need. Let's start building and managing containers like a pro! 🚀
---
## 🛠️ **Docker Basics**
1. **Run an Ubuntu Container Interactively**
```bash
docker run -it ubuntu
```
*🐧 Launches an Ubuntu container in interactive mode.*
2. **List All Docker Images**
```bash
docker images
```
*📦 Displays all images available locally.*
3. **Access a Running Container's Shell**
```bash
docker exec -it bash
```
*🔑 Opens a Bash shell inside a running container.*
4. **Run a Command Inside a Running Container**
```bash
docker exec ls
```
*📜 Executes the `ls` command inside the specified container.*
---
## 🌐 **Port Exposure**
5. **Run a Container and Expose Ports**
```bash
docker run -it -p 1025:1025
```
*📡 Maps port 1025 on the host to port 1025 in the container.*
---
## 🧱 **Building and Managing Images**
6. **Build an Image from a Dockerfile**
```bash
docker build -t simplemessenger
```
*🔨 Builds an image tagged as `simplemessenger` from the specified path.*
7. **Remove an Image**
```bash
docker rmi
```
*🚮 Deletes an unwanted image from your local repository.*
---
## 📋 **Docker Compose**
8. **Start Services Defined in `docker-compose.yml`**
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
*🚀 Launches services in detached mode.*
9. **Stop and Remove Docker Compose Services**
```bash
docker compose down
```
*💔 Stops services and cleans up containers, networks, and volumes.*
---
## 🌉 **Docker Networks**
10. **Run a Container on the Host Network**
```bash
docker run -it --network=host
```
*🌍 Shares the host's network stack.*
11. **Run a Container on the Default Bridge Network**
```bash
docker run -it --network=bridge
```
*🌐 Uses Docker’s default bridge network.*
12. **Run a Container Without a Network**
```bash
docker run -it --network=none
```
*🚫 Launches the container with no network connection.*
13. **Create a Custom Bridge Network**
```bash
docker network create -d bridge
```
*🔗 Sets up a new isolated bridge network.*
---
## 📂 **Additional Useful Commands**
14. **List Running Containers**
```bash
docker ps
```
*🟢 Displays currently running containers.*
15. **List All Containers (Including Stopped)**
```bash
docker ps -a
```
*📜 Lists all containers, active or stopped.*
16. **Stop a Container**
```bash
docker stop
```
*🛑 Stops a running container.*
17. **Remove a Container**
```bash
docker rm
```
*🚮 Deletes a stopped container.*
18. **Check Logs of a Container**
```bash
docker logs
```
*📝 Displays logs for troubleshooting or monitoring.*
19. **Copy Files To/From a Container**
```bash
docker cp :
docker cp :
```
*📤📥 Transfers files between your host and container.*
20. **Prune Unused Docker Resources**
```bash
docker system prune
```
*🧹 Cleans up unused containers, networks, and images.*
21. **Inspect a Container or Image**
```bash
docker inspect
```
*🔍 Provides detailed information about containers or images.*
22. **Start a Stopped Container**
```bash
docker start
```
*🔄 Revives a previously stopped container.*
23. **Attach to a Running Container**
```bash
docker attach
```
*👀 Connects to a running container’s input/output streams.*
24. **Tag an Image for a Repository**
```bash
docker tag :
```
*🏷️ Prepares an image for pushing to a repository.*
25. **Push an Image to Docker Hub**
```bash
docker push :
```
*🌐 Uploads a tagged image to Docker Hub.*
---
## 🧹 **Pro Tip: Cleaning Up**
