Container Management

Containers are the core concept of Docker, being running instances of images. Through the container management page, you can create, start, stop, and manage containers.

Container List

Go to the Container page, which displays the container list by default.

The list displays the following information:

• Container Name: Name of the container
• Status: Running status switch
• Image: Image used by the container
• Ports: Port mapping (host port -> container port)
• Running Status: Detailed running status information
• Actions: Terminal, logs, rename, etc.

Create Container

Click the Create Container button to open the creation dialog.

Basic Settings

• Container Name: Optional, auto-generated if left empty
• Image: Docker image name, e.g., nginx:latest, mysql:8.0
• Network: Select the network for the container to use
• Restart Policy: Restart behavior after container exits
  • None: Do not auto restart
  • always: Always restart
  • on-failure: Restart on failure
  • unless-stopped: Restart unless manually stopped

Advanced Options

• TTY (-t): Allocate a pseudo-TTY
• STDIN (-i): Keep STDIN open
• Auto Remove: Automatically delete container when stopped
• Privileged Mode: Grant container full system privileges (use with caution)

Port Mapping

Map container internal ports to host ports, format: host_port:container_port

For example: 8080:80 means mapping container port 80 to host port 8080.

Volume Mounts

Mount host directories or data volumes to the container, format: host_path:container_path

For example: /opt/ace/data:/data means mounting the host's /opt/ace/data directory to the container's /data directory.

Resource Limits

Limit the CPU and memory resources the container can use.

Environment Variables

Set container environment variables, format: KEY=VALUE

Container Operations

Batch Operations

After selecting multiple containers, you can perform batch operations:

• Start: Start selected containers
• Stop: Stop selected containers
• Restart: Restart selected containers
• Force Stop: Force stop selected containers
• Pause: Pause selected containers
• Resume: Resume paused containers
• Delete: Delete selected containers

Single Container Operations

• Terminal: Open the container's terminal to execute commands inside the container
• Logs: View container runtime logs
• Rename: Modify container name
• More: View details, export, and other operations

Clean Containers

Click Clean Containers to delete all stopped containers and free up system resources.

Note

The cleanup operation cannot be undone. Please ensure stopped containers are no longer needed.
