Images and containers

docker pull nginx:latest
docker images
docker ps
docker ps -a
docker run -d --name web -p 8080:80 nginx
docker exec -it web sh
docker logs -f web
docker stop web
docker rm web

Name long-running containers so logs and operational commands are easier to read.

Compose workflow

docker compose up -d
docker compose up --build
docker compose ps
docker compose logs -f service_name
docker compose exec service_name sh
docker compose down
docker compose down -v

Use down -v only when the volume data is disposable.
