Error message when creating docker container

I'm trying to create a new docker container using the following command:

docker run -d -it --name compsci -v /c/Users/garre/Documents/CPSC_Courses:/homechapmanfse/computing-resources:cs_base

However, it gives me this error message:

"docker run" requires at least 1 argument.
See 'docker run --help'.


Usage:  docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]

Run a command in a new container

How would I fix this?

Think that you it has build image in your machine. You must inform name of image run.

docker run image-name

This command --name is necessary only you specific name for your container. And the -it command must be entered only when entering the executed container.

docker run -d -it -v /c/Users/garre/Documents/CPSC_Courses:/homechapmanfse/computing-resources:cs_base --name 'the name you want to give' 'official name of the image'

You have to provide the name of the image that you want to run. This is currently missing in your command.

For example, if I were to run mysql, I would execute this:

docker run --name some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -d mysql

See the last argument, mysql? That is the name of the image.
