docker run \
  --name docker \
  -d \
  --privileged \
  million12/docker

docker run \
  --name docker \
  -d \
  -e DOCKER_PORT=12345 \
  -p 12345:12345 \
  --privileged \
  million12/docker

make sure to use -p option which exports custom port to host machine
note: This image need to be run with --privileged option

⁠Environmental Variables

DOCKER_PORT - Specify on which port docker daemon should listen.

⁠Docker troubleshooting

Use docker command to see if all required containers are up and running:

$ docker ps

Check logs of docker container:

$ docker logs docker

Sometimes you might just want to review how things are deployed inside a running container, you can do this by executing a bash shell through docker's exec command:

docker exec -ti docker /bin/bash
