CHEAT SHEET
FOR JAVA DEVELOPERS
DOCKER
List all Docker Images

List All Docker Containers
docker ps -a

Delete All Stopped Docker Containers
Use -f option to nuke the running containers too.
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
Remove a Docker Image
docker rmi <image name>
Delete All Docker Images
docker rmi $(docker images -q)
Delete All Untagged (dangling) Docker Images
docker rmi $(docker images -q -f dangling=true)
Delete All Images
docker rmi $(docker images -q)
Remove Dangling Volumes
docker volume rm -f $(docker volume ls -f dangling=true -q)
SSH Into a Running Docker Container
Okay not technically SSH, but this will give you a bash shell in the
container.
sudo docker exec -it <container name> bash
Use Docker Compose to Build Containers
Run from directory of your docker-compose.yml file.
docker-compose build
PAGE 2
SPRINGFRAMEWORK.GURU
DOCKER CHEAT SHEET
Use Docker Compose to Start a Group of Containers
Use this command from directory of your docker-compose.yml file.
docker-compose up -d
This will tell Docker to fetch the latest version of the container from
the repo, and not use the local cache.
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate
This can be problematic if youre doing CI builds with Jenkins and
pushing Docker images to another host, or using for CI testing. I was
deploying a Spring Boot Web Application from Jekins, and found the
docker container was not getting refreshed with the latest Spring Boot
artifact.
#stop docker containers, and rebuild
docker-compose stop -t 1
docker-compose rm -f
docker-compose pull
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
Follow the Logs of Running Docker Containers With Docker Compose
docker-compose logs -f
Save a Running Docker Container as an Image
docker commit <image name> <name for image>
PAGE 3
