Docker commands

---

Instead of the container name, in most cases the first 2-3 digits of the container ID can be specified, which is displayed using docker ps (depending on how many digits are needed for unique identification).

• List running containers:

  docker ps

• Stop a running container “properly”

  docker stop <CONTAINER-NAME>

• “Immediately kill” a running container:

  docker kill <CONTAINER-NAME>

• Copy files out of a running container

  docker cp <CONTAINER-NAME>:<PFAD-UND-DATEI> <ZIEL>

• oder into a running container:

  docker cp <ZIEL> <CONTAINER-NAME>:<PFAD-UND-DATEI>
