# Docker run reference
|
||||
|
||||
Docker runs processes in isolated containers. A container is a process
|
||||
which runs on a host. The host may be local or remote. When an operator
|
||||
executes `docker run`, the container process that runs is isolated in
|
||||
which runs on a host. The host may be local or remote. When an you
|
||||
execute `docker run`, the container process that runs is isolated in
|
||||
that it has its own file system, its own networking, and its own
|
||||
isolated process tree separate from the host.
|
||||
|
||||
This page details how to use the `docker run` command to define the
|
||||
container's resources at runtime.
|
||||
This page details how to use the `docker run` command to run containers.
|
||||
|
||||
## General form
|
||||
|
||||
The basic `docker run` command takes this form:
|
||||
A `docker run` command takes the following form:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE[:TAG|@DIGEST] [COMMAND] [ARG...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `docker run` command must specify an [*IMAGE*](https://docs.docker.com/glossary/#image)
|
||||
to derive the container from. An image developer can define image
|
||||
defaults related to:
|
||||
The `docker run` command must specify an [image](https://docs.docker.com/glossary/#image)
|
||||
to create the container from.
|
||||
|
||||
* detached or foreground running
|
||||
* container identification
|
||||
* network settings
|
||||
* runtime constraints on CPU and memory
|
||||
`[OPTIONS]` let you configure options for the container. For example, you can
|
||||
give the container a name (`--name`), or run it as a background process (`-d`).
|
||||
You can also set options to control things like resource constraints and
|
||||
networking.
|
||||
|
||||
With the `docker run [OPTIONS]` an operator can add to or override the
|
||||
image defaults set by a developer. And, additionally, operators can
|
||||
override nearly all the defaults set by the Docker runtime itself. The
|
||||
operator's ability to override image and Docker runtime defaults is why
|
||||
[*run*](commandline/run.md) has more options than any
|
||||
other `docker` command.
|
||||
You can use the `[COMMAND]` and `[ARG...]` positional arguments to specify
|
||||
commands and arguments for the container to run when it starts up. For example,
|
||||
you can specify `sh` as the `[COMMAND]`, combined with the `-i` and `-t` flags,
|
||||
to start an interactive shell in the container (if the image you select has an
|
||||
`sh` executable on `PATH`).
|
||||
|
||||
To learn how to interpret the types of `[OPTIONS]`, see
|
||||
[*Option types*](commandline/cli.md#option-types).
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker run -it IMAGE sh
|
||||
```

## Operator exclusive options
|
||||
|
||||
Only the operator (the person executing `docker run`) can set the
|
||||
following options.

|

- [Detached vs foreground](#detached-vs-foreground)

- [Detached (-d)](#detached--d)
