Docker detached mode

Docker detached mode

Detached mode, shown by the option --detach or -d, means that a Docker container runs in the background of your terminal. It does not receive input or display output.

docker run -d IMAGE

If you run containers in the background, you can find out their details using docker ps and then reattach your terminal to its input and output.
