Next select the entire command and copy it. These are the commands we can use to run docker container in standalone mode.

Next go to official docker selenium page and scroll down a bit, you would find execution modes section Ensure you have docker running on your windows OS Let us now come back to our original selenium 4 grid topic and setup chrome browser node on docker. The container got created in background and the container id is shown in the output. Notice above that the terminal did not freeze this time. We can do this by adding - d option (‘d’ option stands for detach) Now, our requirement is, we want to run the command in background so that we can continue working on the same terminal without any disruption. Let us run the container as shown below. The ‘sleep’ command will freeze the current terminal session for 30 seconds Start docker container in background (Ubuntu machine) N otice above that the container status is s hown as ‘Exited’ (because the container stops as soon as it finishes executing the command cat /etc/os-release ). To list all containers (whether running or not), execute the command: docker container ls -a So our first docker container got created within few minutes with an ubuntu application running!! The second portion shows the output of linux command cat /etc/os-release The first thing is that, the ubuntu image was not present locally and hence was downloaded from the docker hub. So, our image name would be ‘ubuntu’ and let us try to execute a linux command cat /etc/os-release on this ubuntu OS image once the cont ainer gets created, see below Let us see how to create a docker container with ubuntu image running. The command docker container ls - a shows all the containers (whether running or not) and right now we don’t have any container as shown belowīefore we go ahead and create our first docker container, just go to Īs seen below, we can see official ubuntu image on docker hub Start docker container in background (Ubuntu machine)Ĭreate docker container and setup Chrome Browser nodeĬreate docker container in foreground (Ubuntu machine)Ĭontainer is simply a running instance of any image.
