How to continue running a docker container which is already exited

Question

docker run -it ubuntu

I used Ctrl+D to exit it but I want to continue executing this container.

Answer 1

Restart an existing container after you exited it, this will save your previous logs.

Follow the below commands:

docker start  `docker ps -q -l` (restarts the container in the background)

docker attach `docker ps -q -l` (reattaches the terminal & stdin)
