To debug Docker containers, you should have Docker installed in your development environment and be comfortable with how Docker works and basic commands to pull images, start, stop, and manage containers.
To start a PostgreSQL container in Docker, follow these steps:
docker pull postgres
docker run --name my-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d postgres
docker ps
The command that retrieves detailed information about a Docker container is "docker inspect". This command provides comprehensive information about the container, including its configuration, network settings, and state6. It is useful for checking the container's setup and troubleshooting issues.
