docker: Run command in a new container from a tagged image.

docker

$ docker run ${image:tag} ${command}

try on your machine

The command "docker run" is used to create and run a new container from a Docker image. It takes an image, specified by the "image:tag" argument, and runs a specified command inside that container.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

${image:tag}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with an actual Docker image name and optional tag. The image represents the base image from which the container will be created. For example, "ubuntu:latest" refers to the "ubuntu" image with the "latest" tag.
${command}: Similar to the image, this is another placeholder that should be replaced with the desired command to be executed within the container. The command can be a shell command, an application, or any other executable.

When you run the complete command, Docker will pull the specified image (if not already present on your system), create a new container based on that image, and then run the specified command inside the container.
