Common Docker Commands

Common Docker commands

It's easiest to install and use Docker Desktop to perform most operations like start/stop containers, but sometimes using the command line gives you finer control. Below are some commonly-used Docker commands.

1. Start/Stop development containers

docker-compose [up/down]

2. List running containers

docker container ls

3. Restart container (ex: 'wise-client')

docker restart wise-client

4. Access container's command line (ex: 'wise-client')

docker exec -it wise-client sh

5. Run 'npm test' in wise-client container

docker exec -it wise-client npm test

6. Run 'npm test' in wise-client container with the watch option

docker exec -it wise-client npm test -- "--watch=true"

7. Run 'maven test' in wise-api container

docker exec -it wise-api mvn test

MySQL Docker commands

1. Connect to MySQL container (password: iamroot)

docker run -it --network wise-docker-dev_default --rm mysql:8 mysql -hwise-mysql -uroot -p

2. Import data from mysqldump

docker exec -i wise-mysql sh -c 'exec mysql wise_database -uroot -p"$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD"' < ~/path_to/wise_database_dump.sql

3. Dump data from MySQL container

docker exec -i wise-mysql sh -c 'exec mysqldump wise_database -uroot -p"$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD"' > wise_database_dump.sql
