The skill
Run Docker commands within a container environment, including starting the Docker daemon and managing containers. Use when building, running, or managing Docker containers and images.
Docker Usage Guide
Starting Docker in Container Environments
Please check if docker is already installed. If so, to start Docker in a container environment:
# Start Docker daemon in the background
sudo dockerd > /tmp/docker.log 2>&1 &
# Wait for Docker to initialize
sleep 5
On Windows, start Docker Desktop or the Docker service instead of running sudo dockerd; then run Docker commands from PowerShell without sudo.
Verifying Docker Installation
To verify Docker is working correctly, run the hello-world container:
sudo docker run hello-world
PowerShell equivalent after Docker Desktop is running: docker run hello-world.
