🔨 Build & Images

Build a Docker image from Dockerfile (current directory)

docker build .

Build with a custom name and tag

docker build -t docker-ts:1 .

List all Docker images

docker images

Remove a specific image

docker rmi <image_id>

Remove all unused (dangling) images

docker image prune

Remove all unused images (including tagged)

docker image prune -a

Rename / tag an image

docker image tag docker-ts:lateat gowaliullah/ts-node-backend:v1

🐳 Containers

Run a container and map ports

docker run -p 3000:3000 <image_id>

Run a container with auto-remove when stopped

docker run -p 3000:3000 --rm <image_id>

Run with a name

docker run -p 5000:5000 --rm --name docker-app <image_id>

List running containers

docker ps

List all containers (running + stopped)

docker ps -a

Stop a container

docker container stop <container_id>

Start a stopped container

docker container start <container_id>

Start and attach logs

docker container start --attach <container_id>

Remove container

docker rm <container_id>

📦 Volumes

Run with named volume

docker run -p 5000:5000 --name ts-docker-container --rm
-v ts-docker-log:/app/logs ts-docker:v2

Remove volume

docker volume rm ts-docker-log

Run with bind mount

docker run -p 5000:5000 --name ts-docker-container --rm
-w /app
-v "$(pwd)":/app
-v /app/node_modules
-v ts-docker-log:/app/logs
ts-docker:v2

Run with .env file

docker run -p 5000:5000 --name ts-docker-container --rm
--env-file .env
-w /app
-v "$(pwd)":/app
-v /app/node_modules
-v ts-docker-log:/app/logs
ts-docker:v2

🌐 Networking

Create network

docker network create ts-docker-network

List networks

docker network ls

Inspect network

docker network inspect ts-docker-network

Remove network

docker network rm ts-docker-network

Example: run MongoDB in network

docker run --name mongodb --rm --network ts-docker-network mongo

Example: run app container in same network

docker run -p 5000:5000 --name ts-docker-container --rm
--network ts-docker-network
--env-file .env
-w /app
-v "$(pwd)":/app
-v /app/node_modules
-v ts-docker-log:/app/logs
ts-docker:v2

🗄️ Databases (MongoDB Example)

Run MongoDB with exposed port

docker run --name mongodb --rm -p 27017:27017 mongo

Run MongoDB with volume + authentication

docker run --name mongodb --rm
-v ts-docker-db:/data/db
--network ts-docker-net
-e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=ts-docker
-e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=ts-docker
mongo

💻 Multi-Container Setup

Backend container

docker run --name ts-docker-backend --rm
--network ts-docker-net
--env-file .env
-w /app
-v "$(pwd)":/app
-v /app/node_modules
-v ts-docker-logs:/app/logs
-p 5000:5000 ts-docker-backend:v5

Frontend container (with file watcher support)

docker run --name ts-docker-frontend --rm
-p 3000:3000
--env-file .env.local
-w /app
-v "$(pwd)":/app
-v /app/node_modules
--network ts-docker-net
-e WATCHPACK_POLLING=true
ts-docker-frontend:v5
