Docker Command-line Access
You can interact with existing containers in Kitematic or create new containers via the Docker Command Line Interface (CLI). Any changes you make on the CLI are directly reflected in Kitematic.
Opening a Terminal for the Docker CLI
To open a terminal via Kitematic, just press whale button at the bottom left, as shown below:
Example: Creating a new Redis container
Start by opening a Docker-CLI ready terminal by clicking the whale button as
described above. Once the terminal opens, enter docker run -d -P redis. This
will pull and run a new Redis container via the Docker CLI.
Now, go back to Kitematic. The Redis container should now be visible.
