|
|
|
|
The `docker create` command creates a writeable container layer over the
|
|
specified image and prepares it for running the specified command. The
|
|
container ID is then printed to `STDOUT`. This is similar to `docker run -d`
|
|
except the container is never started. You can then use the
|
|
`docker start <container_id>` command to start the container at any point.
|
|
|
|
This is useful when you want to set up a container configuration ahead of time
|
|
so that it is ready to start when you need it. The initial status of the
|
|
new container is `created`.
|
|
|
|
Please see the [run command](run.md) section and the [Docker run reference](../run.md) for more details.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
$ docker create -t -i fedora bash
|
|
6d8af538ec541dd581ebc2a24153a28329acb5268abe5ef868c1f1a261221752
|
|
$ docker start -a -i 6d8af538ec5
|
|
bash-4.2#
|
|
|
|
As of v1.4.0 container volumes are initialized during the `docker create` phase
|
|
(i.e., `docker run` too). For example, this allows you to `create` the `data`
|
|
volume container, and then use it from another container:
|
|
|
|
$ docker create -v /data --name data ubuntu
|
|
240633dfbb98128fa77473d3d9018f6123b99c454b3251427ae190a7d951ad57
|
|
$ docker run --rm --volumes-from data ubuntu ls -la /data
|
|
total 8
|
|
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 5 04:10 .
|
|
drwxr-xr-x 48 root root 4096 Dec 5 04:11 ..
|
|
|
|
Similarly, `create` a host directory bind mounted volume container, which can
|
|
then be used from the subsequent container:
|
|
|
|
$ docker create -v /home/docker:/docker --name docker ubuntu
|
|
9aa88c08f319cd1e4515c3c46b0de7cc9aa75e878357b1e96f91e2c773029f03
|
|
$ docker run --rm --volumes-from docker ubuntu ls -la /docker
|
|
total 20
|
|
drwxr-sr-x 5 1000 staff 180 Dec 5 04:00 .
|
|
drwxr-xr-x 48 root root 4096 Dec 5 04:13 ..
|
|
-rw-rw-r-- 1 1000 staff 3833 Dec 5 04:01 .ash_history
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 1000 staff 446 Nov 28 11:51 .ashrc
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 1000 staff 25 Dec 5 04:00 .gitconfig
|
|
drwxr-sr-x 3 1000 staff 60 Dec 1 03:28 .local
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 1000 staff 920 Nov 28 11:51 .profile
|
|
drwx--S--- 2 1000 staff 460 Dec 5 00:51 .ssh
|
|
drwxr-xr-x 32 1000 staff 1140 Dec 5 04:01 docker
|
|
|
|
Set storage driver options per container.
|
|
|
|
$ docker create -it --storage-opt size=120G fedora /bin/bash
|
|
|
|
This (size) will allow to set the container rootfs size to 120G at creation time.
|
|
User cannot pass a size less than the Default BaseFS Size. This option is only
|
|
available for the `devicemapper`, `btrfs`, `windowsfilter`, and `zfs` graph drivers.
|
|
|
|
### Specify isolation technology for container (--isolation)
|
|
|
|
This option is useful in situations where you are running Docker containers on
|
|
Windows. The `--isolation=<value>` option sets a container's isolation
|
|
technology. On Linux, the only supported is the `default` option which uses
|
|
Linux namespaces. On Microsoft Windows, you can specify these values:
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Value | Description |
|
|
|-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `default` | Use the value specified by the Docker daemon's `--exec-opt` . If the `daemon` does not specify an isolation technology, Microsoft Windows uses `process` as its default value if the
|
|
daemon is running on Windows server, or `hyperv` if running on Windows client. |
|
|
| `process` | Namespace isolation only. |
|
|
| `hyperv` | Hyper-V hypervisor partition-based isolation. |
|
|
|
|
Specifying the `--isolation` flag without a value is the same as setting `--isolation="default"`.
