Run container as a daemon


In this example we create a Docker image based on busybox and tiny bit of shell command. Specifically we'll run an infinite while-loop and every second we'll print the current date and time.

The first thing we need to do is to build the


examples/daemon1/Dockerfile
FROM busybox
CMD while true; do (date; sleep 1); done

docker build -t mydocker .
docker run -d --rm --name test mydocker
docker inspect test
docker container logs test
docker container attach test
