The specific way to run it depends on whether you gave the image a tag name or not     docker images REPOSITORY          TAG                 ID                  CREATED             SIZE ubuntu              12 04               8dbd9e392a96        4 months ago        131 5 MB  virtual 131 5 MB    With a name  let s use Ubuntu      docker run -i -t ubuntu 12 04  bin bash   Without a name  just using the ID     docker run -i -t 8dbd9e392a96  bin bash   Please see Docker run reference for more information

You can see your available images using   docker images   Then you can run in detached mode so your terminal is still usable  You have several options to run it using a repository name  with or without a tag  or image ID   docker run -d repository docker run -d repository tag docker run -d image id   Then you can check your container is running using  docker ps   docker ps gives you a container ID  You can use it or just the 2 3 first characters to go into your container using   docker exec -it container id  bin bash   And you can stop it using docker stop container id and docker rm container id   You can also run your container with -rm arguments so if you stop your container it will automatically be removed

Since you have created an image from the Dockerfile  the image currently is not in active state  In order to work you need to run this image inside a container   The   docker images command describes how many images are currently available in the local repository  and  docker ps -a   shows how many containers are currently available  i e  the list of active and exited containers   There are two ways to run the image in the container     docker run  OPTIONS  IMAGE  TAG  DIGEST   COMMAND   ARG       In detached mode   -d false  Detached mode  Run container in the background  print new container id   In interactive mode   -i  Keep STDIN open even if not attached   Here is the Docker run command    docker run image name tag name   For more clarification on Docker run  you can visit Docker run reference   It s the best material to understand Docker

Do the following steps      docker images  You will get a list of all local Docker images with the tags specified    docker run image name tag name  If you didn t specify tag name it will automatically run an image with the  latest  tag   Instead of image name  you can also specify an image ID  no tag name
