       IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]

DESCRIPTION

       Run a process in a new container. docker run starts a process with its  own  file  system,
       its  own networking, and its own isolated process tree. The IMAGE which starts the process
       may define defaults related to the  process  that  will  be  run  in  the  container,  the
       networking  to  expose,  and  more,  but docker run gives final control to the operator or
       administrator who starts the container from the image. For that reason docker run has more
       options than any other Docker command.

       If  the  IMAGE  is  not  already loaded then docker run will pull the IMAGE, and all image
       dependencies, from the repository in the same way running docker  pull  IMAGE,  before  it
       starts the container from that image.

OPTIONS

       -a, --attach=[]
          Attach to STDIN, STDOUT or STDERR.

       In  foreground  mode  (the  default  when  -d  is not specified), docker run can start the
       process in the container and attach the console to the process's standard  input,  output,
       and  standard  error.  It  can  even  pretend  to  be a TTY (this is what most commandline
       executables expect) and pass along signals. The -a option can be set for  each  of  stdin,
       stdout, and stderr.

       --add-host=[]
          Add a custom host-to-IP mapping (host:ip)

       Add  a  line  to  /etc/hosts. The format is hostname:ip.  The --add-host option can be set
       multiple times.

       --annotation=[]
          Add an annotation to the container (passed through to the OCI runtime).

       The annotations are provided to the OCI runtime.

       --blkio-weight=0
          Block IO weight (relative weight) accepts a weight value between 10 and 1000.

       --blkio-weight-device=[]
          Block IO weight (relative device weight, format: DEVICE_NAME:WEIGHT).

       -c, --cpu-shares=0
          CPU shares (relative weight)

       By default, all containers get the same proportion of CPU cycles. This proportion  can  be
       modified  by changing the container's CPU share weighting relative to the weighting of all
       other running containers.

       To modify the proportion from the default of 1024, use the -c or --cpu-shares flag to  set
       the weighting to 2 or higher.

       The  proportion  will  only apply when CPU-intensive processes are running.  When tasks in
       one container are idle, other containers can use the left-over CPU time. The actual amount
       of CPU time will vary depending on the number of containers running on the system.

       For  example, consider three containers, one has a cpu-share of 1024 and two others have a
       cpu-share setting of 512. When processes in all three containers attempt to  use  100%  of
       CPU,  the  first  container  would  receive 50% of the total CPU time. If you add a fourth
       container with a cpu-share of 1024, the first container only gets  33%  of  the  CPU.  The
       remaining containers receive 16.5%, 16.5% and 33% of the CPU.

       On a multi-core system, the shares of CPU time are distributed over all CPU cores. Even if
       a container is limited to less than 100% of CPU time, it can use 100% of  each  individual
       CPU core.

       For example, consider a system with more than three cores. If you start one container {C0}
       with -c=512 running one process, and another  container  {C1}  with  -c=1024  running  two
       processes, this can result in the following division of CPU shares:

       PID    container    CPU  CPU share
       100    {C0}         0    100% of CPU0
       101    {C1}         1    100% of CPU1
       102    {C1}         2    100% of CPU2

       --cap-add=[]
          Add Linux capabilities

       --cap-drop=[]
          Drop Linux capabilities

       --cgroupns=""
          Set the cgroup namespace mode for the container.
            host:    run the container in the host's cgroup namespace
            private: run the container in its own private cgroup namespace
            "":       (unset)  use the daemon's default configuration (host on cgroup v1, private
       on cgroup v2)

       --cgroup-parent=""
          Path to cgroups under which the cgroup for the container will be created. If  the  path
       is  not  absolute,  the  path is considered to be relative to the cgroups path of the init
       process. Cgroups will be created if they do not already exist.

       --cidfile=""
          Write the container ID to the file

       --cpu-count=0
           Limit the number of CPUs available for execution by the container.

       On Windows Server containers, this is approximated as a percentage of total CPU usage.

       On Windows Server containers, the processor resource controls are mutually exclusive, the order of precedence is CPUCount first, then CPUShares, and CPUPercent last.

       --cpu-percent=0
           Limit the percentage of CPU available for  execution  by  a  container  running  on  a
       Windows daemon.

       On Windows Server containers, the processor resource controls are mutually exclusive, the order of precedence is CPUCount first, then CPUShares, and CPUPercent last.

       --cpu-period=0
          Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) period

       Limit the container's CPU usage. This flag tell the kernel to restrict the container's CPU
       usage to the period you specify.

       --cpuset-cpus=""
          CPUs in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1)

       --cpuset-mems=""
          Memory nodes (MEMs) in which to allow execution (0-3,  0,1).  Only  effective  on  NUMA
       systems.

       If  you  have four memory nodes on your system (0-3), use --cpuset-mems=0,1 then processes
       in your Docker container will only use memory from the first two memory nodes.

       --cpu-quota=0
          Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) quota

       Limit the container's CPU usage. By default, containers run with the  full  CPU  resource.
       This flag tell the kernel to restrict the container's CPU usage to the quota you specify.

       --cpu-rt-period=0
          Limit the CPU real-time period in microseconds

       Limit  the  container's  Real  Time  CPU  usage. This flag tell the kernel to restrict the
       container's Real Time CPU usage to the period you specify.

       --cpu-rt-runtime=0
          Limit the CPU real-time runtime in microseconds

       Limit the containers Real Time CPU usage. This flag tells the kernel to limit  the  amount
       of time in a given CPU period Real Time tasks may consume. Ex:
          Period  of 1,000,000us and Runtime of 950,000us means that this container could consume
       95% of available CPU and leave the remaining 5% to normal priority tasks.

       The sum of all runtimes across containers cannot exceed the amount allotted to the  parent
       cgroup.

       --cpus=0.0
          Number of CPUs. The default is 0.0 which means no limit.

       -d, --detach=true|false
          Detached  mode: run the container in the background and print the new container ID. The
       default is false.

       At any time you can run docker ps in the other  shell  to  view  a  list  of  the  running
       containers. You can reattach to a detached container with docker attach.

       When  attached  in  the tty mode, you can detach from the container (and leave it running)
       using a configurable key sequence. The default sequence is CTRL-p CTRL-q.   You  configure
       the  key  sequence  using  the  --detach-keys option or a configuration file.  See config-
       json(5) for documentation on using a configuration file.

       --detach-keys=key
          Override the key sequence for detaching a container; key is a single character from the
       [a-Z] range, or ctrl-value, where value is one of: a-z, @, ^, [, ,, or _.

       --device=onhost:incontainer[:mode]
          Add  a  host  device onhost to the container under the incontainer name.  Optional mode
       parameter can be used to specify device permissions, it is a combination of r (for  read),
       w (for write), and m (for mknod(2)).

       For example, --device=/dev/sdc:/dev/xvdc:rwm will give a container all permissions for the
       host device /dev/sdc, seen as /dev/xvdc inside the container.

       --device-cgroup-rule="type major:minor mode"
          Add a rule to the cgroup allowed devices list. The rule is expected to be in the format
       specified in the Linux kernel documentation (Documentation/cgroup-v1/devices.txt):
            - type: a (all), c (char), or b (block);
            - major and minor: either a number, or * for all;
            - mode: a composition of r (read), w (write), and m (mknod(2)).

       Example:  --device-cgroup-rule  "c 1:3 mr": allow for a character device idendified by 1:3
       to be created and read.

       --device-read-bps=[]
          Limit read rate from a device (e.g. --device-read-bps=/dev/sda:1mb)

       --device-read-iops=[]
          Limit read rate from a device (e.g. --device-read-iops=/dev/sda:1000)

       --device-write-bps=[]
          Limit write rate to a device (e.g. --device-write-bps=/dev/sda:1mb)

       --device-write-iops=[]
          Limit write rate to a device (e.g. --device-write-iops=/dev/sda:1000)

       --dns-search=[]
          Set custom DNS search domains (Use --dns-search=. if you don't wish to set  the  search
       domain)

       --dns-option=[]
          Set custom DNS options

       --dns=[]
          Set custom DNS servers

       This  option  can  be  used  to  override  the  DNS configuration passed to the container.
       Typically this is necessary when the host DNS configuration is invalid for  the  container
       (e.g., 127.0.0.1). When this is the case the --dns flags is necessary for every run.

       --domainname=""
          Container NIS domain name

       Sets the container's NIS domain name (see also setdomainname(2)) that is
          available inside the container.

       -e, --env=[]
          Set environment variables

       This  option  allows you to specify arbitrary environment variables that are available for
       the process that will be launched inside of the container.

       --entrypoint=""
          Overwrite the default ENTRYPOINT of the image

       This option allows you to overwrite the default entrypoint of the image that is set in the
       Dockerfile.  The  ENTRYPOINT of an image is similar to a COMMAND because it specifies what
       executable to run when the container starts, but  it  is  (purposely)  more  difficult  to
       override.  The  ENTRYPOINT  gives a container its default nature or behavior, so that when
       you set an ENTRYPOINT you can run the container as if it were that binary,  complete  with
       default  options,  and  you  can  pass  in more options via the COMMAND. But, sometimes an
       operator may want to run something else inside the container,  so  you  can  override  the
       default  ENTRYPOINT  at  runtime  by  using a --entrypoint and a string to specify the new
       ENTRYPOINT.

       --env-file=[]
          Read in a line delimited file of environment variables

       --expose=[]
          Expose a port, or a range of ports (e.g. --expose=3300-3310) informs  Docker  that  the
       container  listens on the specified network ports at runtime. Docker uses this information
       to interconnect containers using links and to set up port redirection on the host system.

       --group-add=[]
          Add additional groups to run as

       -h, --hostname=""
          Container host name

       Sets the container host name that is available inside the container.

       --help
          Print usage statement

       --init
          Run an init inside the container that forwards signals and reaps processes

       -i, --interactive=true|false
          Keep STDIN open even if not attached. The default is false.

       When set to true, keep stdin open even if not attached.

       --ip=""
          Sets the container's interface IPv4 address (e.g., 172.23.0.9)

       It can only be used in conjunction with --network for user-defined networks

       --ip6=""
          Sets the container's interface IPv6 address (e.g., 2001:db8::1b99)

       It can only be used in conjunction with --network for user-defined networks

       --ipc=""
          Sets the IPC mode for the container. The following values are accepted:

       ┌─────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐
       │ValueDescription                      │
       ├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤

       └─────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘

       If  not  specified,  daemon  default  is  used,  which can either be private or shareable,
       depending on the daemon version and configuration.

       --isolation="default"
          Isolation specifies the type of isolation technology used by containers. Note that  the
       default  on  Windows server is process, and the default on Windows client is hyperv. Linux
       only supports default.

       -l, --label key=value
          Set metadata on the container (for example, --label com.example.key=value).

       --kernel-memory=number[S]
          Kernel memory limit; S is an optional suffix which can be one of b, k, m, or g.

       Constrains the kernel memory available to a container. If a limit of 0 is  specified  (not
       using  --kernel-memory),  the  container's  kernel memory is not limited. If you specify a
       limit, it may be rounded up to a multiple of the operating  system's  page  size  and  the
       value can be very large, millions of trillions.

       --label-file=[]
          Read in a line delimited file of labels

       --link=name-or-id[:alias]
          Add link to another container.

       If  the  operator  uses  --link  when  starting  the new client container, then the client
       container can access the exposed port via a private networking interface. Docker will  set
       some  environment  variables  in the client container to help indicate which interface and
       port to use.

       --link-local-ip=[]
          Add one or more link-local IPv4/IPv6 addresses to the container's interface

       --log-driver="json-file|syslog|journald|gelf|fluentd|awslogs|splunk|etwlogs|gcplogs|none"
         Logging driver for the container. Default is defined by daemon --log-driver flag.
         Warning: the docker logs command works only for the json-file and
         journald logging drivers.

       --log-opt=[]
         Logging driver specific options.

       -m, --memory=number[*S]
          Memory limit; S is an optional suffix which can be one of b, k, m, or g.

       Allows you to constrain the memory available to a container. If  the  host  supports  swap
       memory,  then  the  -m  memory setting can be larger than physical RAM. If a limit of 0 is
       specified (not using -m), the container's memory is not limited. The actual limit  may  be
       rounded  up  to  a  multiple  of the operating system's page size (the value would be very
       large, that's millions of trillions).

       --memory-reservation=number[*S]
          Memory soft limit; S is an optional suffix which can be one of b, k, m, or g.

       After setting memory reservation, when the system detects memory contention or low memory,
       containers  are  forced  to restrict their consumption to their reservation. So you should
       always set the value below --memory, otherwise the hard limit  will  take  precedence.  By
       default, memory reservation will be the same as memory limit.

       --memory-swap=number[S]
          Combined  memory  plus swap limit; S is an optional suffix which can be one of b, k, m,
       or g.

       This option can only be used together with --memory. The argument should always be  larger
       than  that  of  --memory.  Default  is  double  the value of --memory. Set to -1 to enable
       unlimited swap.

       --mac-address=""
          Container MAC address (e.g., 92:d0:c6:0a:29:33)

       Remember that the MAC address in an Ethernet network must be unique.  The IPv6  link-local
       address will be based on the device's MAC address according to RFC4862.

       --mount type=TYPE,TYPE-SPECIFIC-OPTION[,...]
          Attach a filesystem mount to the container

       Current supported mount TYPES are bind, volume, and tmpfs.

       e.g.

       type=bind,source=/path/on/host,destination=/path/in/container

       type=volume,source=my-volume,destination=/path/in/container,volume-
       label="color=red",volume-label="shape=round"

       type=tmpfs,tmpfs-size=512M,destination=/path/in/container

       Common Options:

              • src, source: mount source spec for bind and volume. Mandatory for bind.

              • dst, destination, target: mount destination spec.

              • ro, readonly: true or false (default).

       Note: setting readonly for a bind mount does not make its submounts
          read-only on the current Linux implementation. See also bind-nonrecursive.

       Options specific to bind:

              • bind-propagation: shared, slave, private, rshared, rslave, or  rprivate(default).
                See also mount(2).

              • consistency: consistent(default), cached, or delegated. Currently, only effective
                for Docker for Mac.

              • bind-nonrecursive: true or false (default). If set to  true,  submounts  are  not
                recursively bind-mounted. This option is useful for readonly bind mount.

       Options specific to volume:

              • volume-driver: Name of the volume-driver plugin.

              • volume-label: Custom metadata.

              • volume-nocopy:  true(default)  or  false.  If  set  to  false,  the Engine copies
                existing files and directories under the mount-path into the volume, allowing the
                host to access them.

              • volume-opt: specific to a given volume driver.

       Options specific to tmpfs:

              • tmpfs-size: Size of the tmpfs mount in bytes. Unlimited by default in Linux.

              • tmpfs-mode: File mode of the tmpfs in octal. (e.g. 700 or 0700.) Defaults to 1777
                in Linux.

       --name=""
          Assign a name to the container

       The operator can identify a container in three ways:

       ┌──────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
       │Identifier typeExample value                                                      │
       ├──────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
       │UUID long identifier  │ "f78375b1c487e03c9438c729345e54db9d20cfa2ac1fc3494b6eb60872e74778" │
       ├──────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
       │UUID short identifier │ "f78375b1c487"                                                     │
       ├──────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
       │Name                  │ "evil_ptolemy"                                                     │
       └──────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

       The  UUID  identifiers  come  from the Docker daemon, and if a name is not assigned to the
       container with --name then the daemon will also generate a random string name. The name is
       useful  when  defining  links  (see  --link)  (or  any  other place you need to identify a
       container). This works for both background and foreground Docker containers.

       --network=type
          Set the Network mode for the container. Supported values are:

       ┌────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐
       │ValueDescription                      │
       ├────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤

       └────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘

       Default is bridge.

       --network-alias=[]
          Add network-scoped alias for the container

       --oom-kill-disable=true|false
          Whether to disable OOM Killer for the container or not.

       --oom-score-adj=""
          Tune the host's OOM preferences for containers (accepts -1000 to 1000)

       -P, --publish-all=true|false
          Publish all exposed ports to random ports on the host interfaces. The default is false.

       When  set  to true publish all exposed ports to the host interfaces. The default is false.
       If the operator uses -P (or -p) then Docker will make the exposed port accessible  on  the
       host and the ports will be available to any client that can reach the host. When using -P,
       Docker will bind any exposed port to a random port on the host within  an  ephemeral  port
       range  defined  by /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range. To find the mapping between the
       host ports and the exposed ports, use docker port(1).

       -p, --publish ip:[hostPort]:containerPort | [hostPort:]containerPort
          Publish a container's port, or range of ports, to the host.

       Both hostPort and containerPort can be specified as a range.  When specifying  ranges  for
       both, the number of ports in ranges should be equal.

       Examples: -p 1234-1236:1222-1224, -p 127.0.0.1:$HOSTPORT:$CONTAINERPORT.

       Use docker port(1) to see the actual mapping, e.g. docker port CONTAINER $CONTAINERPORT.

       --pid=""
          Set the PID mode for the container
          Default is to create a private PID namespace for the container
                                      'container:': join another container's PID namespace
                                      'host':  use  the  host's  PID namespace for the container.
       Note: the host mode gives the  container  full  access  to  local  PID  and  is  therefore
       considered insecure.

       --userns=""
          Set the usernamespace mode for the container when userns-remap option is enabled.
            host: use the host usernamespace and enable all privileged options (e.g., pid=host or
       --privileged).

       --pids-limit=""
          Tune the container's pids (process IDs) limit. Set to -1 to have unlimited pids for the
       container.

       --uts=type
          Set  the UTS mode for the container. The only possible type is host, meaning to use the
       host's UTS namespace inside the container.
            Note: the host mode gives the container access to changing the host's hostname and is
       therefore considered insecure.

       --privileged [true|false]
          Give extended privileges to this container. A "privileged" container is given access to
       all devices.

       When the operator executes docker run --privileged,  Docker  will  enable  access  to  all
       devices  on  the host as well as set some configuration in AppArmor to allow the container
       nearly all the same access to the host as processes running outside of a container on  the
       host.

       --read-only=true|false
          Mount the container's root filesystem as read only.

       By  default a container will have its root filesystem writable allowing processes to write
       files anywhere.  By specifying the --read-only flag  the  container  will  have  its  root
       filesystem mounted as read only prohibiting any writes.

       --restart policy
          Restart policy to apply when a container exits. Supported values are:

       ┌─────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐
       │PolicyResult                           │

       └─────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘

       Default is no.

       --rm true|false
          Automatically remove the container when it exits. The default is false.
          --rm flag can work together with -d, and auto-removal will be done on daemon side. Note
       that it's incompatible with any restart policy other than none.

       --security-opt value[,...]
          Security Options for the container. The following options can be given:

       "label=user:USER"   : Set the label user for the container
       "label=role:ROLE"   : Set the label role for the container
       "label=type:TYPE"   : Set the label type for the container
       "label=level:LEVEL" : Set the label level for the container
       "label=disable"     : Turn off label confinement for the container
       "no-new-privileges" : Disable container processes from gaining additional privileges

       "seccomp=unconfined" : Turn off seccomp confinement for the container
       "seccomp=profile.json :  White listed syscalls seccomp Json file to be used as a seccomp filter

       "apparmor=unconfined" : Turn off apparmor confinement for the container
       "apparmor=your-profile" : Set the apparmor confinement profile for the container

       --storage-opt
          Storage driver options per container

       $ docker run -it --storage-opt size=120G fedora /bin/bash

       This (size) will allow to set the container rootfs size to 120G at creation time.
          This option is only available for the devicemapper,  btrfs,  overlay2   and  zfs  graph
       drivers.
          For  the devicemapper, btrfs and zfs storage drivers, user cannot pass a size less than
       the Default BaseFS Size.
          For the overlay2 storage driver, the size option is only available if the backing fs is
       xfs and mounted with the pquota mount option.
          Under these conditions, user can pass any size less than the backing fs size.

       --stop-signal=""
          Signal to stop the container.

       The --stop-signal flag sets the system call signal that will be sent to the
          container to exit. This signal can be a signal name in the format SIG<NAME>,
          for instance SIGKILL, or an unsigned number that matches a position in the
          kernel's syscall table, for instance 9.

       The default is defined by STOPSIGNAL in the image, or SIGTERM if the image
          has no STOPSIGNAL defined.

       --stop-timeout
         Timeout (in seconds) to stop a container, or -1 to disable timeout.

       The --stop-timeout flag sets the number of seconds to wait for the container
         to stop after sending the pre-defined (see --stop-signal) system call signal.
         If the container does not exit after the timeout elapses, it is forcibly killed
         with a SIGKILL signal.

       If --stop-timeout is set to -1, no timeout is applied, and the daemon will
         wait indefinitely for the container to exit.

       The default is determined by the daemon, and 10 seconds for Linux containers,
         and 30 seconds for Windows containers.

       --shm-size=""
          Size of /dev/shm. The format is <number><unit>.
          number  must  be greater than 0.  Unit is optional and can be b (bytes), k (kilobytes),
       m(megabytes), or g (gigabytes).
          If you omit the unit, the system uses bytes. If you omit the size entirely, the  system
       uses 64m.

       --sysctl=SYSCTL
         Configure namespaced kernel parameters at runtime

       IPC Namespace - current sysctls allowed:

       kernel.msgmax,  kernel.msgmnb,  kernel.msgmni,  kernel.sem,  kernel.shmall, kernel.shmmax,
       kernel.shmmni, kernel.shm_rmid_forced
         Sysctls beginning with fs.mqueue.*

       If you use the --ipc=host option these sysctls will not be allowed.

       Network Namespace - current sysctls allowed:
             Sysctls beginning with net.*

       If you use the --network=host option these sysctls will not be allowed.

       --sig-proxy=true|false
          Proxy received signals to the  process  (non-TTY  mode  only).  SIGCHLD,  SIGSTOP,  and
       SIGKILL are not proxied. The default is true.

       --memory-swappiness=""
          Tune a container's memory swappiness behavior. Accepts an integer between 0 and 100.

       -t, --tty=true|false
          Allocate a pseudo-TTY. The default is false.

       When  set to true Docker can allocate a pseudo-tty and attach to the standard input of any
       container. This can be used, for example,  to  run  a  throwaway  interactive  shell.  The
       default is false.

       The -t option is incompatible with a redirection of the docker client standard input.

       --tmpfs=[] Create a tmpfs mount

       Mount a temporary filesystem (tmpfs) mount into a container, for example:

       $ docker run -d --tmpfs /tmp:rw,size=787448k,mode=1777 my_image

       This command mounts a tmpfs at /tmp within the container.  The supported mount options are
       the same as the Linux default mount flags. If you do not specify any options, the  systems
       uses the following options: rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=65536k.

       See also --mount, which is the successor of --tmpfs and --volume.
          Even though there is no plan to deprecate --tmpfs, usage of --mount is recommended.

       -u, --user=""
          Sets  the  username  or  UID used and optionally the groupname or GID for the specified
       command.

       The followings examples are all valid:
          --user [user | user:group | uid | uid:gid | user:gid | uid:group ]

       Without this argument the command will be run as root in the container.

       --ulimit=[]
           Ulimit options

       -v|--volume[=[[HOST-DIR:]CONTAINER-DIR[:OPTIONS]]]
          Create a bind mount. If you specify, -v /HOST-DIR:/CONTAINER-DIR, Docker
          bind mounts /HOST-DIR in the host to /CONTAINER-DIR in the Docker
          container. If 'HOST-DIR' is omitted,  Docker automatically creates the new
          volume on the host.  The OPTIONS are a comma delimited list and can be:

              • [rw|ro]

              • [z|Z]

              • [[r]shared|[r]slave|[r]private]

              • [delegated|cached|consistent]

              • [nocopy]

       The CONTAINER-DIR must be an absolute path such as  /src/docs.  The  HOST-DIR  can  be  an
       absolute  path  or  a  name value. A name value must start with an alphanumeric character,
       followed by a-z0-9, _ (underscore), . (period) or - (hyphen). An absolute path starts with
       a / (forward slash).

       If  you  supply  a  HOST-DIR that is an absolute path,  Docker bind-mounts to the path you
       specify. If you supply a name, Docker creates a named volume by that  name.  For  example,
       you  can  specify  either  /foo or foo for a HOST-DIR value. If you supply the /foo value,
       Docker creates a bind mount. If you supply the foo specification, Docker creates  a  named
       volume.

       You  can  specify  multiple  -v options to mount one or more mounts to a container. To use
       these same mounts in other containers, specify the --volumes-from option also.

       You can supply additional options for each bind mount following an  additional  colon.   A
       :ro  or  :rw  suffix  mounts  a  volume  in read-only or read-write mode, respectively. By
       default, volumes are mounted in read-write mode.  You can  also  specify  the  consistency
       requirement  for  the  mount,  either  :consistent  (the default), :cached, or :delegated.
       Multiple options are separated by commas, e.g. :ro,cached.

       Labeling systems like SELinux require that proper labels  are  placed  on  volume  content
       mounted into a container. Without a label, the security system might prevent the processes
       running inside the container from using the content. By default, Docker  does  not  change
       the labels set by the OS.

       To change a label in the container context, you can add either of two suffixes :z or :Z to
       the volume mount. These suffixes tell  Docker  to  relabel  file  objects  on  the  shared
       volumes.  The  z  option  tells  Docker that two containers share the volume content. As a
       result, Docker labels the content with a shared content label. Shared volume labels  allow
       all containers to read/write content.  The Z option tells Docker to label the content with
       a private unshared label.  Only the current container can use a private volume.

       By default bind mounted volumes are private. That means any mounts done  inside  container
       will not be visible on host and vice-a-versa. One can change this behavior by specifying a
       volume mount propagation property. Making a volume shared mounts done  under  that  volume
       inside  container  will be visible on host and vice-a-versa. Making a volume slave enables
       only one way mount propagation and that is mounts done on host under that volume  will  be
       visible inside container but not the other way around.

       To  control  mount  propagation  property  of  volume one can use :[r]shared, :[r]slave or
       :[r]private propagation flag. Propagation property can be specified only for bind  mounted
       volumes  and  not  for  internal  volumes  or named volumes. For mount propagation to work
       source mount point (mount point where  source  dir  is  mounted  on)  has  to  have  right
       propagation  properties.  For shared volumes, source mount point has to be shared. And for
       slave volumes, source mount has to be either shared or slave.

       Use  df  <source-dir>  to  figure  out  the  source  mount  and  then   use   findmnt   -o
       TARGET,PROPAGATION  <source-mount-dir>  to  figure  out  propagation  properties of source
       mount. If findmnt utility is not available, then one can look at mount  entry  for  source
       mount  point  in  /proc/self/mountinfo. Look at optional fields and see if any propagation
       properties are specified.  shared:X means mount is shared, master:X means mount  is  slave
       and if nothing is there that means mount is private.

       To  change  propagation properties of a mount point use mount command. For example, if one
       wants to bind mount source directory /foo one can do mount  --bind  /foo  /foo  and  mount
       --make-private  --make-shared  /foo.  This  will  convert  /foo into a shared mount point.
       Alternatively one can directly change propagation properties of source  mount.  Say  /  is
       source mount for /foo, then use mount --make-shared / to convert / into a shared mount.

              Note:  When  using  systemd  to  manage  the Docker daemon's start and stop, in the
              systemd unit file there is an option to control mount propagation  for  the  Docker
              daemon itself, called MountFlags. The value of this setting may cause Docker to not
              see mount propagation changes made on the mount point. For example, if  this  value
              is slave, you may not be able to use the shared or rshared propagation on a volume.

       To disable automatic copying of data from the container path to the volume, use the nocopy
       flag. The nocopy flag can be set on bind mounts and named volumes.

       See also --mount, which is the successor of --tmpfs and --volume.  Even though there is no
       plan to deprecate --volume, usage of --mount is recommended.

       --volume-driver=""
          Container's volume driver. This driver creates volumes specified either from
          a Dockerfile's VOLUME instruction or from the docker run -v flag.
          See docker-volume-create(1) for full details.

       --volumes-from=[]
          Mount volumes from the specified container(s)

       Mounts already mounted volumes from a source container onto another
          container. You must supply the source's container-id. To share
          a volume, use the --volumes-from option when running
          the target container. You can share volumes even if the source container
          is not running.

       By default, Docker mounts the volumes in the same mode (read-write or
          read-only) as it is mounted in the source container. Optionally, you
          can change this by suffixing the container-id with either the :ro or
          :rw keyword.

       If the location of the volume from the source container overlaps with
          data residing on a target container, then the volume hides
          that data on the target.

       -w, --workdir=""
          Working directory inside the container

       The  default  working  directory  for  running  binaries  within  a  container is the root
       directory (/). The developer can set a  different  default  with  the  Dockerfile  WORKDIR
       instruction. The operator can override the working directory by using the -w option.

Exit Status

       The  exit  code from docker run gives information about why the container failed to run or
       why it exited.  When docker run exits with a non-zero code,  the  exit  codes  follow  the
       chroot standard, see below:

       125 if the error is with Docker daemon itself

       $ docker run --foo busybox; echo $?
       # flag provided but not defined: --foo
         See 'docker run --help'.
         125

       126 if the contained command cannot be invoked

       $ docker run busybox /etc; echo $?
       # exec: "/etc": permission denied
         docker: Error response from daemon: Contained command could not be invoked
         126

       127 if the contained command cannot be found

       $ docker run busybox foo; echo $?
       # exec: "foo": executable file not found in $PATH
         docker: Error response from daemon: Contained command not found or does not exist
         127

       Exit code of contained command otherwise

       $ docker run busybox /bin/sh -c 'exit 3'
       # 3

EXAMPLES

Running container in read-only mode

       During  container  image development, containers often need to write to the image content.
       Installing packages into /usr, for example.  In production, applications  seldom  need  to
       write to the image.  Container applications write to volumes if they need to write to file
       systems at all.  Applications can be made more secure by running them  in  read-only  mode
       using  the --read-only switch.  This protects the containers image from modification. Read
       only containers may still need to write temporary data.  The best way to handle this is to
       mount tmpfs directories on /run and /tmp.

       # docker run --read-only --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /tmp -i -t fedora /bin/bash

Exposing log messages from the container to the host's log

       If  you  want  messages  that  are  logged  in  your  container  to  show up in the host's
       syslog/journal then you should bind mount the /dev/log directory as follows.

       # docker run -v /dev/log:/dev/log -i -t fedora /bin/bash

       From inside the container you can test this by sending a message to the log.

       (bash)# logger "Hello from my container"

       Then exit and check the journal.

       # exit

       # journalctl -b | grep Hello

       This should list the message sent to logger.

Attaching to one or more from STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR

       If you do not specify -a then Docker will attach  everything  (stdin,stdout,stderr)  you'd
       like to connect instead, as in:

       # docker run -a stdin -a stdout -i -t fedora /bin/bash

Sharing IPC between containers

       Using shm_server.c available here: https://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/node27.html

       Testing --ipc=host mode:

       Host shows a shared memory segment with 7 pids attached, happens to be from httpd:

        $ sudo ipcs -m

        ------ Shared Memory Segments --------
        key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch     status
        0x01128e25 0          root       600        1000       7

       Now  run a regular container, and it correctly does NOT see the shared memory segment from
       the host:

        $ docker run -it shm ipcs -m

        ------ Shared Memory Segments --------
        key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch     status

       Run a container with the new --ipc=host option, and it now sees the shared memory  segment
       from the host httpd:

        $ docker run -it --ipc=host shm ipcs -m

        ------ Shared Memory Segments --------
        key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch     status
        0x01128e25 0          root       600        1000       7

       Testing --ipc=container:CONTAINERID mode:

       Start a container with a program to create a shared memory segment:

        $ docker run -it shm bash
        $ sudo shm/shm_server &
        $ sudo ipcs -m

        ------ Shared Memory Segments --------
        key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch     status
        0x0000162e 0          root       666        27         1

       Create a 2nd container correctly shows no shared memory segment from 1st container:

        $ docker run shm ipcs -m

        ------ Shared Memory Segments --------
        key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch     status

       Create  a 3rd container using the new --ipc=container:CONTAINERID option, now it shows the
       shared memory segment from the first:

        $ docker run -it --ipc=container:ed735b2264ac shm ipcs -m
        $ sudo ipcs -m

        ------ Shared Memory Segments --------
        key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch     status
        0x0000162e 0          root       666        27         1

Linking Containers

              Note: This section describes linking between containers  on  the  default  (bridge)
              network,  also  known as "legacy links". Using --link on user-defined networks uses
              the DNS-based discovery, which does not add entries to /etc/hosts, and does not set
              environment variables for discovery.

       The link feature allows multiple containers to communicate with each other. For example, a
       container whose Dockerfile has exposed port 80 can be run and named as follows:

       # docker run --name=link-test -d -i -t fedora/httpd

       A second container, in this case called linker, can communicate with the httpd  container,
       named link-test, by running with the --link=:

       # docker run -t -i --link=link-test:lt --name=linker fedora /bin/bash

       Now  the container linker is linked to container link-test with the alias lt.  Running the
       env command in the linker container shows environment variables
        with the LT (alias) context (LT_)

       # env
       HOSTNAME=668231cb0978
       TERM=xterm
       LT_PORT_80_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.3:80
       LT_PORT_80_TCP_PORT=80
       LT_PORT_80_TCP_PROTO=tcp
       LT_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.3:80
       PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
       PWD=/
       LT_NAME=/linker/lt
       SHLVL=1
       HOME=/
       LT_PORT_80_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.3
       _=/usr/bin/env

       When linking two containers Docker will use the exposed ports of the container to create a
       secure tunnel for the parent to access.

       If  a  container  is  connected  to  the  default  bridge  network  and  linked with other
       containers, then the container's /etc/hosts file is updated with  the  linked  container's
       name.

              Note  Since  Docker  may  live update the container's /etc/hosts file, there may be
              situations when processes inside the container can  end  up  reading  an  empty  or
              incomplete  /etc/hosts  file. In most cases, retrying the read again should fix the
              problem.

Mapping Ports for External Usage

       The exposed port of an application can be mapped to a host port using  the  -p  flag.  For
       example, an httpd port 80 can be mapped to the host port 8080 using the following:

       # docker run -p 8080:80 -d -i -t fedora/httpd

Creating and Mounting a Data Volume Container

       Many applications require the sharing of persistent data across several containers. Docker
       allows you to create a Data Volume Container that other containers  can  mount  from.  For
       example, create a named container that contains directories /var/volume1 and /tmp/volume2.
       The image will need to contain these directories so a couple  of  RUN  mkdir  instructions
       might be required for you fedora-data image:

       # docker run --name=data -v /var/volume1 -v /tmp/volume2 -i -t fedora-data true
       # docker run --volumes-from=data --name=fedora-container1 -i -t fedora bash

       Multiple --volumes-from parameters will bring together multiple data volumes from multiple
       containers. And it's possible to mount the volumes that came from the  DATA  container  in
       yet  another  container  via  the  fedora-container1  intermediary  container, allowing to
       abstract the actual data source from users of that data:

       # docker run --volumes-from=fedora-container1 --name=fedora-container2 -i -t fedora bash

Mounting External Volumes

       To mount a host directory as  a  container  volume,  specify  the  absolute  path  to  the
       directory and the absolute path for the container directory separated by a colon:

       # docker run -v /var/db:/data1 -i -t fedora bash

       When  using  SELinux, be aware that the host has no knowledge of container SELinux policy.
       Therefore, in the above example, if SELinux policy is enforced, the /var/db  directory  is
       not  writable  to  the  container.  A  "Permission  Denied" message will occur and an avc:
       message in the host's syslog.

       To work around this, at time of writing this man page, the following command needs  to  be
       run  in  order  for  the  proper  SELinux  policy  type  label  to be attached to the host
       directory:

       # chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t /var/db

       Now, writing to the /data1 volume in the container will be allowed and  the  changes  will
       also be reflected on the host in /var/db.

Using alternative security labeling

       You  can  override  the  default  labeling  scheme  for  each  container by specifying the
       --security-opt flag. For example, you can specify the MCS/MLS level, a requirement for MLS
       systems.  Specifying  the  level  in  the  following  command allows you to share the same
       content between containers.

       # docker run --security-opt label=level:s0:c100,c200 -i -t fedora bash

       An MLS example might be:

       # docker run --security-opt label=level:TopSecret -i -t rhel7 bash

       To disable the security labeling for this container versus running with  the  --permissive
       flag, use the following command:

       # docker run --security-opt label=disable -i -t fedora bash

       If you want a tighter security policy on the processes within a container, you can specify
       an alternate type for the container. You could run a container that  is  only  allowed  to
       listen on Apache ports by executing the following command:

       # docker run --security-opt label=type:svirt_apache_t -i -t centos bash

       Note:

       You would have to write policy defining a svirt_apache_t type.

Setting device weight

       If  you  want  to  set /dev/sda device weight to 200, you can specify the device weight by
       --blkio-weight-device flag. Use the following command:

       # docker run -it --blkio-weight-device "/dev/sda:200" ubuntu

Specify isolation technology for container (--isolation)

       This option is useful in situations where you are running Docker containers  on  Microsoft
       Windows. The --isolation <value> option sets a container's isolation technology. On Linux,
       the only supported is the default option which uses Linux namespaces. These  two  commands
       are equivalent on Linux:

       $ docker run -d busybox top
       $ docker run -d --isolation default busybox top

       On Microsoft Windows, can take any of these values:

              • default:  Use  the  value  specified  by  the Docker daemon's --exec-opt . If the
                daemon does not specify an isolation technology, Microsoft Windows  uses  process
                as its default value.

              • process: Namespace isolation only.

              • hyperv: Hyper-V hypervisor partition-based isolation.

       In  practice,  when  running  on Microsoft Windows without a daemon option set,  these two
       commands are equivalent:

       $ docker run -d --isolation default busybox top
       $ docker run -d --isolation process busybox top

       If you have set the --exec-opt isolation=hyperv option on the Docker daemon, any of  these
       commands also result in hyperv isolation:

       $ docker run -d --isolation default busybox top
       $ docker run -d --isolation hyperv busybox top

Setting Namespaced Kernel Parameters (Sysctls)

       The --sysctl sets namespaced kernel parameters (sysctls) in the container. For example, to
       turn on IP forwarding in the containers network namespace, run this command:

       $ docker run --sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 someimage

       Note:

       Not all sysctls are namespaced. Docker does not  support  changing  sysctls  inside  of  a
       container  that  also  modify the host system. As the kernel evolves we expect to see more
       sysctls become namespaced.

       See the definition of the --sysctl option above for the current list of supported sysctls.
