Build an image based on the Dockerfile:
docker image build .
The result of above is
docker run --rm -ti <IMAGE_ID>
--rm : If instead you’d like Docker to automatically clean up the container and remove the file system when the container exits, you can add the --rm flag src : https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/
What does the -ti argument achieve ?
-it is shorthand for -i -t
-i Keep STDIN open even if not attached
-t Allocate a pseudo-tty
Which means, t for open a shell terminal (telewriter) and i listen to standard input.
It's basically just -i and -t which is mostly written as -it.
-i:
Keep STDIN open even if not attached
-t:
Allocate a pseudo-TTY
See: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/exec/
It's most common way of using Docker containers, so you can actually use them to execute some of your commands.
i stands for interactive and it's accepts and responds on your input using STDIN.
t is for you to have terminal - it's combined with i so you can actually put your input there.
