Hi am new to docker so making lots of mistakes. I have downloaded 5 containers using windows 10 Powershell but then dont appear in docker desktop. what am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
PS C:\Windows\system32> docker info
Client:
Version: 27.1.1
Context: desktop-linux
Debug Mode: false
Plugins:
You do not download container - you download images.
If you start/run/instantiate an image a container is created based on an image.
Therefore if you download an image you will find it in the images-section of your docker desktop. Or you can run docker image ls from a command prompt or powershell to see the list of images locally available.
Within the containers-section of your docker desktop-dashboard you will find all running containers (and I think the stopped containers, too). The same can be done using docker ps -a from the command prompt / powershell.
Here you can see the list of images locally available on my computer:
@deanayalon you are right about the output of docker info.
Would be interesting to see the output of docker ps -a - and the position of the marked switch in the GUI.
