What is the difference between docker run and docker create commands?
I usually use run but sometimes in documentation I see create.
Docker's --help tells
create Create a new container
run Run a command in a new container
Does it mean that run is used when we need to pass a command to a new container? What's the aim of create then?
From docker documentation
The docker create command creates a writeable container layer over the specified image and prepares it for running the specified command. The container ID is then printed to STDOUT. This is similar to docker run -d except the container is never started. You can then use the docker start command to start the container at any point.
This is useful when you want to set up a container configuration ahead of time so that it is ready to start when you need it. The initial status of the new container is created.
