Linode : docker web app access
Hey Im new to linode and cloud hosting all together. I am attempting to use docker to host a couple web app (nginx, invoiceninja, grocy, etc.) One big problem I am not sure how to access my nginx docker container from my web browser. If any can lend some time to help out a noob it would be a big help.

Great question! When you run the command docker ps, you'll see a list of all running Docker containers on your Linode. Each container is running on a specific port; to determine which port you'll need to use to access a specific container, you'll need the command docker port [container name or ID]. From there, you'd just use your Linode's IP followed by :####, where #### is the port of the container. This cheat sheet for Docker commands might be helpful as you're getting started; it includes the commands referenced here along with some other common ones.
