Install and run
Setup complexity: medium.
clawhub skill install publishers:arnarsson:docker-essentials- Setup complexity is MEDIUM. Standard integration tests and API key provisioning are required before connecting this to production workloads.
- Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.
Contract: missing

# Docker Essentials
Essential Docker commands for container and image management.
## Container Lifecycle
### Running containers
```bash
# Run container from image
docker run nginx
# Run in background (detached)
docker run -d nginx
# Run with name
docker run --name my-nginx -d nginx
# Run with port mapping
docker run -p 8080:80 -d nginx
# Run with environment variables
docker run -e MY_VAR=value -d app
# Run with volume mount
docker run -v /host/path:/container/path -d app
# Run with auto-remove on exit
docker run --rm alpine echo "Hello"
# Interactive terminal
docker run -it ubuntu bash
```
### Managing containers
```bash
# List running containers
docker ps
# List all containers (including stopped)
docker ps -a
# Stop container
docker stop container_name
# Start stopped container
docker start container_name
# Restart container
docker restart container_name
# Remove container
docker rm container_name
# Force remove running container
docker rm -f container_name
# Remove all stopped containers
docker container prune
```
## Container Inspection & Debugging
### Viewing logs
```bash
# Show logs
docker logs container_name
# Follow logs (like tail -f)
docker logs -f container_name
# Last 100 lines
docker logs --tail 100 container_name
# Logs with timestamps
docker logs -t container_name
```
### Executing commands
```bash
# Execute command in running container
docker exec container_name ls -la
# Interactive shell
docker exec -it container_name bash
# Execute as specific user
docker exec -u root -it container_name bash
# Execute with environment variable
docker exec -e VAR=value container_name env
```
### Inspection
```bash
# Inspect container details
docker inspect container_name
# Get specific field (JSON path)
docker inspect -f '{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' container_name
# View container stats
docker stats
# View specific container stats
docker stats container_name
# View processes in container
docker top container_name
```
## Image Management
### Building images
```bash
# Build from Dockerfile
docker build -t myapp:1.0 .
# Build with custom Dockerfile
docker build -f Dockerfile.dev -t myapp:dev .
# Build with build args
docker build --build-arg VERSION=1.0 -t myapp .
# Build without cache
docker build --no-cache -t myapp .
```
### Managing images
```bash
# List images
docker images
# Pull image from registry
docker pull nginx:latest
# Tag image
docker tag myapp:1.0 myapp:latest
# Push to registry
docker push myrepo/myapp:1.0
# Remove image
docker rmi image_name
# Remove unused images
docker image prune
# Remove all unused images
docker image prune -a
```
## Docker Compose
