Troubleshooting Immediate Exits of Docker Containers

If you encounter a situation where a Docker container exits immediately after running it with the docker run command, and the container continues to exit whenever you attempt to start it using Docker Desktop, there is likely an issue that needs to be resolved.

To identify the root cause of the problem, you can make use of the docker logs command. By running docker logs followed by the container’s name, you can examine the logs and gain insights into the underlying issue. Another way to access the logs is by clicking on the container name in Docker Desktop, which will display a list of logs associated with the container.

In the case of using a single quote in the CMD command, it’s crucial to note that to resolve problems like this, you need to not only remove the container but also delete the corresponding image and rebuild it.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you can effectively address and resolve the issue causing the immediate exits of your Docker container.
