docker: Run command in a new container in background and display its ID.

docker

$ docker run --detach ${image} ${command}

try on your machine

The docker run command is used to create and run a new container based on a specified image. The --detach option is used to detach the container from the current terminal session, allowing it to run in the background.

${image} is a placeholder for the name of the Docker image that you want to use for the container. You should replace ${image} with the actual name of the image you want to use.

${command} is a placeholder for the command that you want the container to execute when it starts. You should replace ${command} with the actual command you want to run inside the container.

Here's an example usage:

docker run --detach ubuntu:latest sleep 3600

This command creates a new container based on the ubuntu:latest image and runs the sleep command with an argument of 3600 inside the container. The --detach option allows the container to run in the background without blocking the terminal.
