Run a Docker image as a container

Question

After building a Docker image from a dockerfile, I see the image was built successfully, but what do I do with it? Shouldn\'t i be able to run it as a container

Answer 1

For those who had the same problem as well, but encountered an error like

rpc error: code = 2 desc = oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused "exec: \"bash\": executable file not found in $PATH"

I added an entry point that was worked for me:

docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/sh for the images without Bash.

Example (from the approved example):

run -it --entrypoint /bin/sh ubuntu:12.04
