common centos dokcer image as well as any other basic os images do not contain cmd command (do not run any default app)

if you need to run interactive bash shell in default container type:
docker run -t -i centos /bin/bash
and you get into container with /bin/bash

Hi

If I run this command

docker run centos ---- then centos container should be start or not ???

it should show during this command ???

docker ps

Its not showing up that is the issue.

this command perform container run in interactive mode with running /bin/bash as a command

HI

Yes I got it.

But I dont want right now to run container in interactive mode.

I want to just start container only.

you need to start from docker tutorials

anyway this is command you need :
docker run -d -t -i centos /bin/bash

my output for centos 7 image :

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ docker run -d -t -i centos:7 /bin/bash

Hi

Thnks you very much for your help. now its done.

My misconcept was if I run this " docker run centos " IT will start the centos in backgroup but now got it.

Thanks @nickdoikov. I build one image which I could run using your suggested command
docker run -d -t -i myimage /bin/bash

but if I put CMD ["/opt"]
I get error:Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:296: starting container process caused “exec: “/opt/kaldi”: permission denied”: unknown.

Do you have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
