Command Line Help
-----------------
To list available commands, either run ``docker`` with no parameters or execute
``docker help``::
$ sudo docker
Usage: docker [OPTIONS] COMMAND [arg...]
-H=[unix:///var/run/docker.sock]: tcp://[host]:port to bind/connect to or unix://[/path/to/socket] to use. When host=[127.0.0.1] is omitted for tcp or path=[/var/run/docker.sock] is omitted for unix sockets, default values are used.
A self-sufficient runtime for linux containers.
...
.. _cli_options:
Options
-------
Single character commandline options can be combined, so rather than typing
``docker run -t -i --name test busybox sh``, you can write
``docker run -ti --name test busybox sh``.
Boolean
~~~~~~~
Boolean options look like ``-d=false``. The value you see is the
default value which gets set if you do **not** use the boolean
flag. If you do call ``run -d``, that sets the opposite boolean value,
so in this case, ``true``, and so ``docker run -d`` **will** run in
"detached" mode, in the background. Other boolean options are similar
-- specifying them will set the value to the opposite of the default
value.
Multi
~~~~~
Options like ``-a=[]`` indicate they can be specified multiple times::
docker run -a stdin -a stdout -a stderr -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
Sometimes this can use a more complex value string, as for ``-v``::
docker run -v /host:/container example/mysql
Strings and Integers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Options like ``-name=""`` expect a string, and they can only be
specified once. Options like ``-c=0`` expect an integer, and they can
only be specified once.
----
Commands
--------
.. _cli_daemon:
``daemon``
----------
::
Usage of docker:
-D, --debug=false: Enable debug mode
-H, --host=[]: Multiple tcp://host:port or unix://path/to/socket to bind in daemon mode, single connection otherwise. systemd socket activation can be used with fd://[socketfd].
-G, --group="docker": Group to assign the unix socket specified by -H when running in daemon mode; use '' (the empty string) to disable setting of a group
--api-enable-cors=false: Enable CORS headers in the remote API
-b, --bridge="": Attach containers to a pre-existing network bridge; use 'none' to disable container networking
--bip="": Use this CIDR notation address for the network bridge's IP, not compatible with -b
-d, --daemon=false: Enable daemon mode
--dns=[]: Force docker to use specific DNS servers
-g, --graph="/var/lib/docker": Path to use as the root of the docker runtime
--icc=true: Enable inter-container communication
--ip="0.0.0.0": Default IP address to use when binding container ports
--iptables=true: Disable docker's addition of iptables rules
-p, --pidfile="/var/run/docker.pid": Path to use for daemon PID file
-r, --restart=true: Restart previously running containers
-s, --storage-driver="": Force the docker runtime to use a specific storage driver
-e, --exec-driver="native": Force the docker runtime to use a specific exec driver
-v, --version=false: Print version information and quit
--mtu=0: Set the containers network MTU; if no value is provided: default to the default route MTU or 1500 if no default route is available
The Docker daemon is the persistent process that manages containers. Docker uses the same binary for both the
daemon and client. To run the daemon you provide the ``-d`` flag.
To force Docker to use devicemapper as the storage driver, use ``docker -d -s devicemapper``.
To set the DNS server for all Docker containers, use ``docker -d -dns 8.8.8.8``.
To run the daemon with debug output, use ``docker -d -D``.
To use lxc as the execution driver, use ``docker -d -e lxc``.
The docker client will also honor the ``DOCKER_HOST`` environment variable to set
the ``-H`` flag for the client.
::
docker -H tcp://0.0.0.0:4243 ps
# or
export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://0.0.0.0:4243"
docker ps
# both are equal
To run the daemon with `systemd socket activation <http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/socket-activation.html>`_, use ``docker -d -H fd://``.
Using ``fd://`` will work perfectly for most setups but you can also specify individual sockets too ``docker -d -H fd://3``.
If the specified socket activated files aren't found then docker will exit.
You can find examples of using systemd socket activation with docker and systemd in the `docker source tree <https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/blob/master/contrib/init/systemd/socket-activation/>`_.
Docker supports softlinks for the Docker data directory (``/var/lib/docker``) and for ``/tmp``.
TMPDIR and the data directory can be set like this:
::
TMPDIR=/mnt/disk2/tmp /usr/local/bin/docker -d -D -g /var/lib/docker -H unix:// > /var/lib/boot2docker/docker.log 2>&1
# or
export TMPDIR=/mnt/disk2/tmp
/usr/local/bin/docker -d -D -g /var/lib/docker -H unix:// > /var/lib/boot2docker/docker.log 2>&1
.. _cli_attach:
``attach``
----------
::
Usage: docker attach CONTAINER
Attach to a running container.
--no-stdin=false: Do not attach stdin
--sig-proxy=true: Proxify all received signal to the process (even in non-tty mode)
You can detach from the container again (and leave it running) with
``CTRL-c`` (for a quiet exit) or ``CTRL-\`` to get a stacktrace of
the Docker client when it quits. When you detach from the container's
process the exit code will be returned to the client.
To stop a container, use ``docker stop``.
To kill the container, use ``docker kill``.

.. _cli_build:
``build``
---------
::
Usage: docker build [OPTIONS] PATH | URL | -
Build a new container image from the source code at PATH
-t, --tag="": Repository name (and optionally a tag) to be applied
to the resulting image in case of success.
-q, --quiet=false: Suppress the verbose output generated by the containers.
--no-cache: Do not use the cache when building the image.
--rm=true: Remove intermediate containers after a successful build
The files at ``PATH`` or ``URL`` are called the "context" of the build. The
build process may refer to any of the files in the context, for example when
using an :ref:`ADD <dockerfile_add>` instruction. When a single ``Dockerfile``
is given as ``URL``, then no context is set. When a Git repository is set as
``URL``, then the repository is used as the context. Git repositories are
cloned with their submodules (`git clone --recursive`).
.. _cli_build_examples:
.. seealso:: :ref:`dockerbuilder`.

Removing intermediate container 02071fceb21b
This example specifies that the ``PATH`` is ``.``, and so all the files in
the local directory get tar'd and sent to the Docker daemon. The ``PATH``
specifies where to find the files for the "context" of the build on
the Docker daemon. Remember that the daemon could be running on a
remote machine and that no parsing of the ``Dockerfile`` happens at the
client side (where you're running ``docker build``). That means that
*all* the files at ``PATH`` get sent, not just the ones listed to
:ref:`ADD <dockerfile_add>` in the ``Dockerfile``.
The transfer of context from the local machine to the Docker daemon is
what the ``docker`` client means when you see the "Uploading context"
message.
If you wish to keep the intermediate containers after the build is complete,
you must use ``--rm=false``. This does not affect the build cache.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker build -t vieux/apache:2.0 .
This will build like the previous example, but it will then tag the
resulting image. The repository name will be ``vieux/apache`` and the
tag will be ``2.0``
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker build - < Dockerfile
This will read a ``Dockerfile`` from *stdin* without context. Due to
the lack of a context, no contents of any local directory will be sent
to the ``docker`` daemon. Since there is no context, a ``Dockerfile``
``ADD`` only works if it refers to a remote URL.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker build github.com/creack/docker-firefox
This will clone the GitHub repository and use the cloned repository as
context. The ``Dockerfile`` at the root of the repository is used as
``Dockerfile``. Note that you can specify an arbitrary Git repository
by using the ``git://`` schema.
.. _cli_commit:
``commit``
----------
::
Usage: docker commit [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]
Create a new image from a container's changes
-m, --message="": Commit message
-a, --author="": Author (eg. "John Hannibal Smith <hannibal@a-team.com>"
--run="": Configuration to be applied when the image is launched with `docker run`.
(ex: -run='{"Cmd": ["cat", "/world"], "PortSpecs": ["22"]}')

Change the command that a container runs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes you have an application container running just a service and you need
to make a quick change and then change it back.
In this example, we run a container with ``ls`` and then change the image to
run ``ls /etc``.
.. code-block:: bash
$ docker run -t -name test ubuntu ls
bin boot dev etc home lib lib64 media mnt opt proc root run sbin selinux srv sys tmp usr var
$ docker commit -run='{"Cmd": ["ls","/etc"]}' test test2
933d16de9e70005304c1717b5c6f2f39d6fd50752834c6f34a155c70790011eb
$ docker run -t test2
adduser.conf gshadow login.defs rc0.d
alternatives gshadow- logrotate.d rc1.d
apt host.conf lsb-base rc2.d
...

.................
The ``--run`` JSON hash changes the ``Config`` section when running ``docker inspect CONTAINERID``
or ``config`` when running ``docker inspect IMAGEID``.
(Multiline is okay within a single quote ``'``)

.. _cli_import:
``import``
----------
::
Usage: docker import URL|- [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]
Create an empty filesystem image and import the contents of the tarball
(.tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .bzip, .tar.xz, .txz) into it, then optionally tag it.
At this time, the URL must start with ``http`` and point to a single
file archive (.tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .bzip, .tar.xz, or .txz) containing a
root filesystem. If you would like to import from a local directory or
archive, you can use the ``-`` parameter to take the data from *stdin*.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Import from a remote location
.............................
This will create a new untagged image.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker import http://example.com/exampleimage.tgz
Import from a local file
........................
Import to docker via pipe and *stdin*.
.. code-block:: bash
$ cat exampleimage.tgz | sudo docker import - exampleimagelocal:new
Import from a local directory
.............................
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo tar -c . | docker import - exampleimagedir
Note the ``sudo`` in this example -- you must preserve the ownership of the
files (especially root ownership) during the archiving with tar. If you are not
root (or the sudo command) when you tar, then the ownerships might not get
preserved.
.. _cli_info:
``info``
--------
::
Usage: docker info
Display system-wide information.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker info

.. _cli_insert:
``insert``
----------
::
Usage: docker insert IMAGE URL PATH
Insert a file from URL in the IMAGE at PATH
Use the specified ``IMAGE`` as the parent for a new image which adds a
:ref:`layer <layer_def>` containing the new file. The ``insert`` command does
not modify the original image, and the new image has the contents of the parent
image, plus the new file.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Insert file from GitHub

.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker insert 8283e18b24bc https://raw.github.com/metalivedev/django/master/postinstall /tmp/postinstall.sh

.. _cli_inspect:
``inspect``
-----------
::
Usage: docker inspect CONTAINER|IMAGE [CONTAINER|IMAGE...]
Return low-level information on a container/image
-f, --format="": Format the output using the given go template.
By default, this will render all results in a JSON array. If a format
is specified, the given template will be executed for each result.
Go's `text/template <http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/>`_ package
describes all the details of the format.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Get an instance's IP Address
............................
For the most part, you can pick out any field from the JSON in a
fairly straightforward manner.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker inspect --format='{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' $INSTANCE_ID
List All Port Bindings
......................
One can loop over arrays and maps in the results to produce simple
text output:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker inspect -format='{{range $p, $conf := .NetworkSettings.Ports}} {{$p}} -> {{(index $conf 0).HostPort}} {{end}}' $INSTANCE_ID
Find a Specific Port Mapping
............................
The ``.Field`` syntax doesn't work when the field name begins with a
number, but the template language's ``index`` function does. The
``.NetworkSettings.Ports`` section contains a map of the internal port
mappings to a list of external address/port objects, so to grab just
the numeric public port, you use ``index`` to find the specific port
map, and then ``index`` 0 contains first object inside of that. Then
we ask for the ``HostPort`` field to get the public address.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker inspect -format='{{(index (index .NetworkSettings.Ports "8787/tcp") 0).HostPort}}' $INSTANCE_ID
Get config
..........
The ``.Field`` syntax doesn't work when the field contains JSON data,
but the template language's custom ``json`` function does. The ``.config``
section contains complex json object, so to grab it as JSON, you use ``json``
to convert config object into JSON
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker inspect -format='{{json .config}}' $INSTANCE_ID
.. _cli_kill:
``kill``
--------
::
Usage: docker kill [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
Kill a running container (send SIGKILL, or specified signal)
-s, --signal="KILL": Signal to send to the container
The main process inside the container will be sent SIGKILL, or any signal specified with option ``--signal``.
Known Issues (kill)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* :issue:`197` indicates that ``docker kill`` may leave directories
behind and make it difficult to remove the container.
* :issue:`3844` lxc 1.0.0 beta3 removed ``lcx-kill`` which is used by Docker versions before 0.8.0;
see the issue for a workaround.
.. _cli_load:
``load``
--------
::
Usage: docker load < repository.tar
Loads a tarred repository from the standard input stream.
Restores both images and tags.
.. _cli_login:
``login``
---------
::
Usage: docker login [OPTIONS] [SERVER]
Register or Login to the docker registry server
-e, --email="": Email
-p, --password="": Password
-u, --username="": Username
If you want to login to a private registry you can
specify this by adding the server name.
example:
docker login localhost:8080
.. _cli_logs:
``logs``
--------
::
Usage: docker logs [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
Fetch the logs of a container
-f, --follow=false: Follow log output
The ``docker logs`` command is a convenience which batch-retrieves whatever
logs are present at the time of execution. This does not guarantee execution
order when combined with a ``docker run`` (i.e. your run may not have generated
any logs at the time you execute ``docker logs``).
The ``docker logs --follow`` command combines ``docker logs`` and ``docker attach``:
it will first return all logs from the beginning and then continue streaming
new output from the container's stdout and stderr.
.. _cli_port:

--------
::
Usage: docker port [OPTIONS] CONTAINER PRIVATE_PORT
Lookup the public-facing port which is NAT-ed to PRIVATE_PORT
.. _cli_ps:

------
::
Usage: docker ps [OPTIONS]
List containers
-a, --all=false: Show all containers. Only running containers are shown by default.
--no-trunc=false: Don't truncate output
-q, --quiet=false: Only display numeric IDs
Running ``docker ps`` showing 2 linked containers.

The last container is marked as a ``Ghost`` container. It is a container that was running when the docker daemon was restarted (upgraded, or ``-H`` settings changed). The container is still running, but as this docker daemon process is not able to manage it, you can't attach to it. To bring them out of ``Ghost`` Status, you need to use ``docker kill`` or ``docker restart``.
``docker ps`` will show only running containers by default. To see all containers: ``docker ps -a``
.. _cli_pull:

.. _cli_rm:
``rm``
------
::
Usage: docker rm [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
Remove one or more containers
-l, --link="": Remove the link instead of the actual container
-f, --force=false: Force removal of running container
Known Issues (rm)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* :issue:`197` indicates that ``docker kill`` may leave directories
behind and make it difficult to remove the container.
Examples:
~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker rm /redis
/redis
This will remove the container referenced under the link ``/redis``.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker rm --link /webapp/redis
/webapp/redis
This will remove the underlying link between ``/webapp`` and the ``/redis`` containers removing all
network communication.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker rm `docker ps -a -q`
This command will delete all stopped containers. The command ``docker ps -a -q`` will return all
existing container IDs and pass them to the ``rm`` command which will delete them. Any running
containers will not be deleted.
.. _cli_rmi:
``rmi``
-------
::
Usage: docker rmi IMAGE [IMAGE...]
Remove one or more images
-f, --force=false: Force
Removing tagged images
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Images can be removed either by their short or long ID's, or their image names.
If an image has more than one name, each of them needs to be removed before the
image is removed.

-------
::
Usage: docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE[:TAG] [COMMAND] [ARG...]
Run a command in a new container
-a, --attach=map[]: Attach to stdin, stdout or stderr

--cidfile="": Write the container ID to the file
-d, --detach=false: Detached mode: Run container in the background, print new container id
-e, --env=[]: Set environment variables
-h, --host="": Container host name
-i, --interactive=false: Keep stdin open even if not attached
--privileged=false: Give extended privileges to this container
-m, --memory="": Memory limit (format: <number><optional unit>, where unit = b, k, m or g)
-n, --networking=true: Enable networking for this container
-p, --publish=[]: Map a network port to the container
--rm=false: Automatically remove the container when it exits (incompatible with -d)
-t, --tty=false: Allocate a pseudo-tty
-u, --user="": Username or UID
--dns=[]: Set custom dns servers for the container
-v, --volume=[]: Create a bind mount to a directory or file with: [host-path]:[container-path]:[rw|ro]. If a directory "container-path" is missing, then docker creates a new volume.
--volumes-from="": Mount all volumes from the given container(s)
--entrypoint="": Overwrite the default entrypoint set by the image
-w, --workdir="": Working directory inside the container
--lxc-conf=[]: Add custom lxc options -lxc-conf="lxc.cgroup.cpuset.cpus = 0,1"
--sig-proxy=true: Proxify all received signal to the process (even in non-tty mode)
--expose=[]: Expose a port from the container without publishing it to your host
--link="": Add link to another container (name:alias)
--name="": Assign the specified name to the container. If no name is specific docker will generate a random name
-P, --publish-all=false: Publish all exposed ports to the host interfaces
The ``docker run`` command first ``creates`` a writeable container layer over
the specified image, and then ``starts`` it using the specified command. That
is, ``docker run`` is equivalent to the API ``/containers/create`` then
``/containers/(id)/start``.
Once the container is stopped it still exists and can be started back up. See ``docker ps -a`` to view a list of all containers.
The ``docker run`` command can be used in combination with ``docker commit`` to
:ref:`change the command that a container runs <cli_commit_examples>`.
See :ref:`port_redirection` for more detailed information about the ``--expose``,
``-p``, ``-P`` and ``--link`` parameters, and :ref:`working_with_links_names` for
specific examples using ``--link``.
Known Issues (run -volumes-from)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* :issue:`2702`: "lxc-start: Permission denied - failed to mount"
could indicate a permissions problem with AppArmor. Please see the
issue for a workaround.
Examples:
~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run --cidfile /tmp/docker_test.cid ubuntu echo "test"
This will create a container and print ``test`` to the console. The
``cidfile`` flag makes Docker attempt to create a new file and write the
container ID to it. If the file exists already, Docker will return an
error. Docker will close this file when ``docker run`` exits.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run -t -i --rm ubuntu bash
root@bc338942ef20:/# mount -t tmpfs none /mnt
mount: permission denied
This will *not* work, because by default, most potentially dangerous
kernel capabilities are dropped; including ``cap_sys_admin`` (which is
required to mount filesystems). However, the ``-privileged`` flag will
allow it to run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run --privileged ubuntu bash
root@50e3f57e16e6:/# mount -t tmpfs none /mnt
root@50e3f57e16e6:/# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
none 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /mnt
The ``-privileged`` flag gives *all* capabilities to the container,
and it also lifts all the limitations enforced by the ``device``
cgroup controller. In other words, the container can then do almost
everything that the host can do. This flag exists to allow special
use-cases, like running Docker within Docker.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run -w /path/to/dir/ -i -t ubuntu pwd
The ``-w`` lets the command being executed inside directory given,
here ``/path/to/dir/``. If the path does not exists it is created inside the
container.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run -v `pwd`:`pwd` -w `pwd` -i -t ubuntu pwd
The ``-v`` flag mounts the current working directory into the container.
The ``-w`` lets the command being executed inside the current
working directory, by changing into the directory to the value
returned by ``pwd``. So this combination executes the command
using the container, but inside the current working directory.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run -v /doesnt/exist:/foo -w /foo -i -t ubuntu bash
When the host directory of a bind-mounted volume doesn't exist, Docker
will automatically create this directory on the host for you. In the
example above, Docker will create the ``/doesnt/exist`` folder before
starting your container.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run -t -i -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v ./static-docker:/usr/bin/docker busybox sh
By bind-mounting the docker unix socket and statically linked docker binary
(such as that provided by https://get.docker.io), you give the container
the full access to create and manipulate the host's docker daemon.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run -p 127.0.0.1:80:8080 ubuntu bash
This binds port ``8080`` of the container to port ``80`` on ``127.0.0.1`` of the
host machine. :ref:`port_redirection` explains in detail how to manipulate ports
in Docker.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run --expose 80 ubuntu bash
This exposes port ``80`` of the container for use within a link without
publishing the port to the host system's interfaces. :ref:`port_redirection`
explains in detail how to manipulate ports in Docker.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run --name console -t -i ubuntu bash
This will create and run a new container with the container name
being ``console``.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run --link /redis:redis --name console ubuntu bash
The ``--link`` flag will link the container named ``/redis`` into the
newly created container with the alias ``redis``. The new container
can access the network and environment of the redis container via
environment variables. The ``--name`` flag will assign the name ``console``
to the newly created container.
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run --volumes-from 777f7dc92da7,ba8c0c54f0f2:ro -i -t ubuntu pwd
The ``--volumes-from`` flag mounts all the defined volumes from the
referenced containers. Containers can be specified by a comma separated
list or by repetitions of the ``--volumes-from`` argument. The container
ID may be optionally suffixed with ``:ro`` or ``:rw`` to mount the volumes in
read-only or read-write mode, respectively. By default, the volumes are mounted
in the same mode (read write or read only) as the reference container.
A complete example
..................
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo docker run -d --name static static-web-files sh
$ sudo docker run -d --expose=8098 --name riak riakserver
$ sudo docker run -d -m 100m -e DEVELOPMENT=1 -e BRANCH=example-code -v $(pwd):/app/bin:ro --name app appserver
$ sudo docker run -d -p 1443:443 --dns=dns.dev.org -v /var/log/httpd --volumes-from static --link riak --link app -h www.sven.dev.org --name web webserver
$ sudo docker run -t -i --rm --volumes-from web -w /var/log/httpd busybox tail -f access.log
This example shows 5 containers that might be set up to test a web application change:
1. Start a pre-prepared volume image ``static-web-files`` (in the background) that has CSS, image and static HTML in it, (with a ``VOLUME`` instruction in the ``Dockerfile`` to allow the web server to use those files);
2. Start a pre-prepared ``riakserver`` image, give the container name ``riak`` and expose port ``8098`` to any containers that link to it;
3. Start the ``appserver`` image, restricting its memory usage to 100MB, setting two environment variables ``DEVELOPMENT`` and ``BRANCH`` and bind-mounting the current directory (``$(pwd)``) in the container in read-only mode as ``/app/bin``;
4. Start the ``webserver``, mapping port ``443`` in the container to port ``1443`` on the Docker server, setting the DNS server to ``dns.dev.org``, creating a volume to put the log files into (so we can access it from another container), then importing the files from the volume exposed by the ``static`` container, and linking to all exposed ports from ``riak`` and ``app``. Lastly, we set the hostname to ``web.sven.dev.org`` so its consistent with the pre-generated SSL certificate;
5. Finally, we create a container that runs ``tail -f access.log`` using the logs volume from the ``web`` container, setting the workdir to ``/var/log/httpd``. The ``-rm`` option means that when the container exits, the container's layer is removed.
