Get to know the following commands. Play around with your Docker environment and try out all the commands.

# Tag an image

Create an image and give a name to it. Name is a group of images and tag further specifies the application.

docker build -t name:tag .

For example:

docker build -t helloworld
docker build -t helloworld:latest
docker build -t helloworld:v3

The tag latest will be added as a default if you don’t specify a tag yourself.

# Give a container a name

docker run -p 3000:80 -d --rm --name helloworldcontainer helloworld

-p … Port forwarding -d … detached –rm remove the container after it is stopped –name give the container a name
