Run docker container detached and interactively

Note the -d option, which stands for detached: this means that the command you run the container with (/bin/bash), will run in the background so that the container will live through the termination of the current shell session.

Ssh into a running linux docker container

docker exec -ti <name of the container> /bin/bash

warning: make sure to save configurations and apps you'll need again before stopping your container.

• saved the entire state of the container to a docker image via docker commit
