Docker commands overview

All Docker commands can be found by executing the following help command:

$ docker help

To see all the options of any particular Docker command, we can use docker help <command>, for example:

$ docker help run

There is also a very good explanation of all Docker commands on the official Docker page https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/docker/. It's really worth reading or at least skimming through.
