Running The Examples
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to run docker, daemon and standalone mode.
|
|
|
|
When you run the docker command it will first check to see if there is already a docker daemon running in the background it can connect too, and if so, it will use that daemon to run all of the commands.
|
|
|
|
If there is no daemon then docker will run in standalone mode.
|
|
|
|
Docker needs to be run from a privileged account (root). Depending on which mode you are using, will determine how you need to execute docker.
|
|
|
|
1. The most common way is to run a docker daemon as root in the background, and then connect to it from the docker client from any account.
|
|
|
|
.. 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
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo docker <command>
