docker: Create a new docker machine with specific name.

docker-machine

$ docker-machine create ${name}

try on your machine

The command "docker-machine create ${name}" is used to create a new Docker machine with a specified name.

Docker Machine is a tool used to install and manage Docker on virtual machines. It allows you to create, start, stop, and manage Docker hosts on different platforms like VirtualBox, VMware, Amazon Web Services, etc.

In this command, "${name}" is a placeholder for the name you want to give to your Docker machine. You need to replace "${name}" with the actual name you want to give to your machine.

When the command is executed, Docker Machine will create a new virtual machine (VM) with the specified name and install Docker on it. The exact steps and requirements may vary based on the platform you are using.

This newly created Docker machine will then act as a Docker host, allowing you to run Docker commands, deploy containers, and manage your Docker environment on the created VM.
