$ docker info
Q3. If you vaguely remember the command and you’d like to confirm it, how will you get help on that particular command?
$ docker --help
The above command lists all Docker commands. If you need help with one specific command, you can use the following syntax:

$ docker pull <image_name>
Q6. How do you create a docker container from an image?
Pull an image from the docker repository with the above command and run it to create a container. Use the following command:

-d means the container needs to start in the detached mode.
Q7. How do you list all the running containers?
The following command lists down all the running containers:
$ docker ps
Q8. Suppose you have 3 containers running and out of these, you wish to access one of them. How do you access a running container?
The following command lets us access a running container:
$ docker exec -it <container id> bash
The exec command lets you get inside a container and work with it.
Q9. How to start, stop and kill a container?
The following command is used to start a docker container:
$ docker start <container_id>
and the following for stopping a running container:
$ docker stop <container_id>
kill a container with the following command:
$ docker kill <container_id>
Q10. Can you use a container, edit it, and update it? Also, how do you make it new and store it on the local system?
Of course, you can use a container, edit it and update it. This sounds complicated but it's actually just one command.
$ docker commit <conatainer id> <username/imagename>
Q11. How do you push it to the docker hub?
$ docker push <username/image name>
Q12. How to delete a stopped container?
Use the following command to delete a stopped container:

The following command lets you delete an image from the local system:
$ docker rmi <image-id>
Q14. How to build a Dockerfile?
Once you’ve written a Dockerfile, you need to build it to create an image with those specifications. Use the following command to build a Dockerfile:
$ docker build <path to docker file>
Q15. Do you know why the docker system prune is used? What does it do?
$ docker system prune
The above command is used to remove all the stopped containers, all the networks that are not used, all dangling images, and all build caches. It’s one of the most useful docker commands.
