What does CREATED container mean in docker?
docker
Solution
Docker status `Created` means that the container has been created from the image, but it has never been started.
This state can be achieved in this two ways.
Docker container has been created using `docker create` command (this is done to speed up container creation).
Docker container has been created using `docker run` but it hasn't been able to start successfully.
For further information check `docker create` reference: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/create/
Problem
I am bit confused on the status of the docker container, especially with status as CREATED. I know that when the container is running state it shows as below: ``` root@labadmin-VirtualBox:~/RAGHU/DOCKER# docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 1261afc2acc1 302fa07d8117 "/bin/bash" 43 minutes ago Up 43 minutes optimistic_thompson ``` And if the container is stopped, it shows as below: ``` root@labadmin-VirtualBox:~/RAGHU/DOCKER# docker ps -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 935f902efac7 302fa07d8117 "/bin/bash" 44 minutes ago Exited (0) 44 minutes ago competent_golick 5eb1c2525e2e 302fa07d8117 "/bin/bash" 44 minutes ago Exited (0) 44 minutes ago friendly_saha ``` My confusion is in what state does the docker shows the status of the container as CREATED: ``` root@labadmin-VirtualBox:~/RAGHU/DOCKER# docker ps -a | grep -i created CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 01c63f92586b jenkins "/bin/tini -- /usr..." 5 weeks ago Created gloomy_jones ```
