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:

CLI access button

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.

Docker CLI terminal window

Now, go back to Kitematic. The Redis container should now be visible.
