This was a really clear breakdown of the Docker container lifecycle. I like how you kept it focused on the actual commands we use day to day instead of getting lost in too much theory. For someone trying to get comfortable with Docker beyond just docker run, this kind of structured walkthrough is super helpful.
What I appreciated most is that you grouped the commands by stage (create, start, stop, inspect, clean up) — it makes it much easier to build a mental model instead of memorizing a random list of flags. That’s exactly the kind of foundation that pays off later when you start working with orchestration tools and CI/CD pipelines.
I’ve been spending more time on containers and DevOps lately, and posts like this really help solidify the basics. Great work, looking forward to more content like this.
