Additional information and tips for Docker usage

There are three ways to execute the Docker container with LPVS after the image was built by command docker build -t lpvs . :

1. Terminal mode: the log is shown in the terminal in real-time, but the terminal must be open for running the application in the container:

   docker run -p 7896:7896 --name lpvs lpvs:latest 

2. Background mode: the container is not going to be restarted after reboot, to see the log additional commands should be used: docker logs -f lpvs:

   docker run -d -p 7896:7896 --name lpvs lpvs:latest

3. Background mode with constant usage: the container is going to be restarted after the reboot (other behavior is similar to the background mode):

   docker run -d -p 7896:7896 --restart unless-stopped --name lpvs lpvs:latest

It is better (for disk space economy) to stop and start the same container which is created by the command docker run.

Useful Docker commands

To stop the running container use the following commands:

docker stop lpvs

To start the stopped container use the following commands:

docker start lpvs

To clean unused containers (if the command docker run was used a few times), only stopped containers will be deleted:

docker rm lpvs
