Running an interactive shell

All the examples assume your machine is running the docker daemon. To run the docker daemon in the background, simply type:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker -d &
Now you can run docker in client mode: all commands will be forwarded to the docker daemon, so the client
can run from any account.
.. code-block:: bash
# now you can run docker commands from any account.

Running The Examples
--------------------
There are two ways to run docker, daemon mode and standalone mode.
When you run the docker command it will first check if there is a docker daemon running in the background it can connect to.
* If it exists it will use that daemon to run all of the commands.
* If it does not exist docker will run in standalone mode (docker will exit after each command).
Docker needs to be run from a privileged account (root).
1. The most common (and recommended) way is to run a docker daemon as root in the background, and then connect to it from the docker client from any account.
All the examples assume your machine is running the docker daemon. To run the docker daemon in the background, simply type:
.. code-block:: bash
# starting docker daemon in the background
sudo docker -d &
# now you can run docker commands from any account.
docker <command>
2. Standalone: You need to run every command as root, or using sudo
Now you can run docker in client mode: all commands will be forwarded to the docker daemon, so the client
can run from any account.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker <command>
# now you can run docker commands from any account.
