Docker Detached Mode

Question

What is detached mode in the docker world? I read this article Link, but it does not explain exactly what detached mode mean.

Answer 1

docker run -d -t ubuntu:14.04

docker run - Create an instance from docker image as docker container. (if image not available locally it pulls from docker hub) ubuntu - Image name

14.04 - Tag

-d, --detach - Detach mode

-t, --tty - Allocate a pseudo-TTY
