Create New Container with Existing Image
These instructions describe how to create a new container with an image from Docker* Hub or Docker* Registry.
Step 1: Go to Configure > Containers and Container Stacks
Select
Configure
in the top menu and select
Containers and Container Stacks
.

In the Containers and Container Stacks screen you will see a list of existing containers, their state and available actions. You can also search, filter and order the container list, as well as select multiple containers to apply bulk actions.
If there are no containers in the host machine, the Containers and Container Stacks screen displays a message and shortcut for adding containers.
Step 2: Add a Container using an Existing Docker* Hub or Docker* Registry Image
- In theContainers and Container Stacksscreen, click onAdd Container.
- Name the container. Don't use spaces or special characters. In the screen below, it is named:nginx_hello_world
- Select thePull an Imageoption. Fill in the field with the image name. This example uses:nginx:latest
- Click onNext.The next step is defining container settings. All configurations are optional. The instructions below will walk you through defining port configuration and adding variables for a container with Hostnamenginx-test, onport 8089, inPrivileged Mode.
- Scroll toPort Configuration, click onPublish a New Manual Network Port.
- InHost Port, enter 8089. InMapped Container Port, enter 80. InProtocol, select TCP.
- InAdditional Variables, click onAdd Additional Variables.
- InName, selectHostname. Enternginx-testasValue.
- Click onAdd Additional Variables.
- InName, selectPrivileged. EntertrueinValue.
- Click onNext.You can review configurations and go back to edit details if any modifications are needed.
- Click onDeploy.
- Click onContinue.You should see a message confirming that the container is being deployed, followed by a success or failure message. Once deployment is complete, the container will be started and will show on the Containers list in the Containers and Container Stacks screen.
On the
Containers
page, you can see a list of icons under Actions like View container logs, Restart, Start, Resume, Pause, Edit, Delete, etc.

Step 3: Verify the container image is running
The container was configured to expose a network port, mapping the container port 80 to port 8089 in the host machine. This means that by accessing localhost:8089, you will be accessing the container ip:80.
Follow the instructions below to verify that the container is running.
In a new browser window, go to
localhost:8089
. If the container is running properly, you will see the index.html for nginx web server.
