docker: Start a docker container.
$ docker start ${container}
try on your machine

The command docker start ${container} is used to start a Docker container.

Here, ${container} is a placeholder for the name or ID of the Docker container you want to start.

When you run this command, Docker will search for a container with the name or ID specified in ${container} and start it.

Starting a container means that it will be launched and any services or applications running inside the container will become active. However, if the container was previously stopped, the previously running processes won't be restored.

If the container is already running, this command won't have any effect.

It's important to note that you need to have Docker installed and running on your system in order to use this command.
