Docker Container Management Script

Overview

This Bash script streamlines the management of Docker containers by providing functionalities for starting, stopping, and removing containers.

Usage

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your system.

Running the Script

1. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x docker_container_manager.sh

2. Run the script with the following parameters:

   ./docker_container_manager.sh CONTAINER_NAME DOCKER_IMAGE [HOST_PORT] [CONTAINER_PORT]

   • CONTAINER_NAME: Name for the Docker container.
   • DOCKER_IMAGE: Docker image to use.
   • HOST_PORT (Optional): Port on the host machine (default: 8080).
   • CONTAINER_PORT (Optional): Port within the Docker container (default: 80).

Functionality

1. Start Container:

   The script checks if the specified Docker container is already running. If not, it starts the container with the provided parameters.

2. Remove Container:

   After starting the container, the script asks if you want to remove the container. If confirmed, it removes the container.

3. Stop Container:

   If you choose not to remove the container, the script asks if you want to stop the container. If confirmed, it stops the running container.

Notes

• The script uses Docker commands, so ensure Docker is installed and accessible in your system environment.

• User interactions are prompted for confirmation, providing flexibility and control over container management.

• Feel free to customize the script according to your specific needs.
