Naming your containers is a best practice

You can name a container by "Docker --name flag"

Naming your containers has the following benefits:


  • It makes them easy to remember and interact with
  • Docker doesn't allow two containers to have the same name, which prevents mistakes like accidentally starting two identical ones
  • Many common Docker tools (like Docker Compose) use specific container names, so getting used to naming your containers is a good best practice.
