Hi! I have an ubuntu droplet setup. I run the command “docker run -p 8080:80 dockerhub_username/dockerhub_repo”. After this command the terminal gets stuck indefinitely, and i cannot perform any other actions unless i press ctrl + c. How may I make this work ?

Hello there,
You can add the -d flag in order to run the docker container in the background.
To run a docker container in the background or the detached mode from the terminal, you can use the docker run command followed by the -d flag (or detached flag) and followed by the name of the docker image you need to use in the terminal.
- docker run -d -p 8080:80 dockerhub_username/dockerhub_repo
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
Hello,
Indeed as Alex already mentioned, if you do not specify the -d flag the container will run in the foreground so that whenever you press CTRL+C or close your terminal the container will be terminated.
