docker container run [options] image [command] [args...]

docker container run creates and starts a new container from a specified image, combining the functionality of docker container create and docker container start into a single command. This is the most common way to launch containers in Docker.
When executed, Docker pulls the image if not locally available, creates a container with the specified configuration, and starts it. The command supports extensive configuration options for networking, storage, resource limits, and runtime behavior. Using --rm ensures ephemeral containers are cleaned up automatically, while -d enables daemon mode for background services.
This command is equivalent to the legacy docker run command.
