docker: Run command in a one-off container in interactive mode and pseudo-TTY.
$ docker run --rm --interactive --tty ${image} ${command}
try on your machine

The command you provided is used to run a Docker container with the specified image and command. Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • docker run: This starts a new Docker container based on the provided image.

  • --rm: This flag automatically removes the container when it exits, cleaning up resources. It is used to avoid accumulating unnecessary containers.

  • --interactive (or -i): This flag enables interactive mode, allowing you to interact with the container's standard input (stdin).

  • --tty (or -t): This flag allocates a pseudo-TTY (teletypewriter) for the container, which is a terminal-like interface displaying input and output. It helps to improve the interaction between your terminal and the container.

  • ${image}: This is a placeholder for the Docker image name or ID that you want to use when running the container. Replace ${image} with the actual image you want to use.

  • ${command}: This is a placeholder for the command you want to run within the Docker container. Replace ${command} with the command you want to execute inside the container.

By executing this command, you will run a Docker container, allocate a TTY, enable interactive mode, and use the specified image with the given command.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
