In Docker, there are main types of container launch methods:
-
docker run — launching a container from an image with the ability to specify parameters (ports, volumes, environment variables, etc.). This is the most common method.
-
docker start — starting an already created but stopped container. The container must have been created earlier (for example, via docker create).
-
docker exec — running a new command inside an already running container without creating a new container.
-
docker-compose up — launching one or more containers described in the docker-compose.yml file, convenient for orchestrating multiple services.
Each of these methods is suitable for different scenarios: from quick launch of a single container to complex launch of multi-container applications.
