docker ps --> used to see what's running or to get an id of a container that is running. docker ps -a or --all

docker run = docker create AND docker start

docker start -a the "-a" flag provides output from the docker container. ***cannot over ride the default command on a pre-established container.

Logs

docker logs => gets all the inputs/outputs from a container.

This does not restart or run the container... just shows what happended while it was running.

docker stop (SIGTERM) does clean up and nicely shutsdown if docker doesnt stop after 10sec it will auto kill. docker kill (SIGKILL) instant stop

Prefer using docker stop command over kill...
