interesting demo of Portainer https://portainer.io/overview.html#demo , I have installed and run locally to manage my environment

docker run --detach --name web nginx:latest

docker run --interactive --tty --link web:web --name web_test busybox:latest /bin/sh

wget -O - http://web:80/

exit
(CTRL-P CTRL-Q to run interactively a process and then detach)

#this example is WRONG in the book!
docker run -d --name mailer dockerinaction/ch2_mailer

docker run -it --name agent --link web:insideweb --link mailer:insidemailer dockerinaction/ch2_agent

#connect to a running instance in interactive mode
docker start -i "CID"

docker restart web
docker restart mailer
docker restart agent

docker run -d --name namespaceA busybox:latest /bin/sh -c "sleep 30000"
docker run -d --name namespaceB busybox:latest /bin/sh -c "nc -l -p 0.0.0.0:80"

docker exec namespaceA ps
docker exec namespaceB ps

#creating a conflict by NOT using namespaces
docker run -d --name webConflict nginx:latest
docker logs webConflict
docker exec webConflict nginx -g 'daemon off;'

#avoiding conflicts by using namespaces
docker run -d --name webA nginx:latest
docker logs webA
docker run -d --name webB nginx:latest
docker logs webB


docker rename webA webPippo

#create is like run, but it's created in stopped state
CID=$(docker create nginx)
echo $CID

docker create --cidfile /tmp/web.cid nginx

#running 3 containers linked to each other - in reverse order
MAILER_CID=$(docker run -d dockerinaction/ch2_mailer)
WEB_CID=$(docker run -d nginx)
AGENT_CID=$(docker run -d --link $WEB_CID:insideweb --link $MAILER_CID:insidemailer dockerinaction/ch2_agent)

#check status of container
docker inspect $CID


docker search postgres


docker pull busybox:latest
docker save -o myfile.tar busybox:latest
docker rmi busybox
docker load -i myfile.tar
