"docker container run" requires at least 1 argument

Question

I'm trying to create a container using a volume that I have already created, but my console shows the error

docker container run" requires at least 1 argument

This is the command I'm trying to run:

docker container run --name db -v volume-dados-do-banco:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=Mypass

I have also tried this one, wih more arguments, but the same error persists:

docker container run -d --name db -p 3306:3306 -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=Mypass -v volume-dados-do-banco:/var/lib/mysql

Any thoughts on the reason why this is happening?

Problem is not with docker, you just didn't specify which image to run. Your command should include Docker image as per documentation.

docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE[:TAG|@DIGEST] [COMMAND] [ARG...]

Example would be:

docker run -d --name db -v volume-dados-do-banco:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=Mypass mysql:latest

I think it must be a back slash \ instead of forward slash / – umer Dec 19 '22 at 22:05

try the below command.. it seems a syntax error on your command..

docker container run -d --name db -v volume-dados-do-banco:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=Mypass

ok. can you please run just from normal volume rather then the sql thing.. docker container run -d --name db -v volume-dados-do-banco:/var/lib/mysql – Krunal Barot May 25 '19 at 22:37

I just restarted docker and ran:

docker run --name torgmysqldb --volumes-from volume-dados-banco-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=Mypass -p 3307:3306 mysql

This known issue is not the problem you had, in your case it is just a misuse of docker run command. Restarting docker is not what helped there, adding image name (`mysql`) at the end did the trick. – Nemanja Ranković Jul 23 '21 at 09:02

i have the same problem when i use this:

docker run  -d -p 3306:3306 -v /Volumes/wd4black/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root mysql

but when i try below, the problem is disappear:

docker run --name my-s -d -p 3306:3306 -v /Volumes/wd4black/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root mysql

so i think the --name is key, but the doc didn/t write it.

After you have extracted the image from the Docker repository, you can move on to deploying the new Container with the following code snippet:

sudo docker run --name=[container_name] -d [image_tag_name]
