    # docker build .
    # docker run myimage

    docker-compose up –build

    Stop containers

    docker-compose down

    List running images on containers

    docker-compose ps

  • Tagging docker images

    Tagging docker images

    Normally with “docker build . ” you get docker id that you can run with “docker run DOCKERID” but if you want a bit more friendly name you can tag it like this:

    docker build -t YOURDOCKERUSERNAME/PROJECT:latest .

    After that you can refer to the image with the tag instead of id like this

    docker run -p 8081:8081 YOURDOCKERUSERNAME/PROJECT
