I just found the StackOverflow explaining this:

`docker run -t -d `
`docker run -i -d `
`docker run -it -d `

Refer to this documentation for more information detached(or background) mode vs foreground mode: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/

In this article, you treated running background images the same as a detached mode. But both are not the same. Detached mode = Standard console will note be attached for Terminal IO. This may stop once the main process in docker image is completed Background mode = Run in the background continuously without stopping (like daemon). Foreground or console = If you exit console the process may stop. I was looking to run a python-3.7.5 image in the background but it seems detached mode option doe not works.

Good summary of basic commands. However I think there is a typo with the explanation of the ‘–rm’ parameter. This parameter removes the container when it “exits”, not when it “exists”
