Container Naming

Each container running on a given host must have a unique name. When deploying a container using icm run, the container can be named using the -container option:

# icm run -container gracie -image docker/whalesay

You can see the name reflected in the output of icm ps:

# icm ps
Machine           IP Address   Container Status     Health  Image
-------           ---------    --------  -----      ------  ----
Acme-DM-TEST-0001 172.16.110.9 gracie    Restarting         docker/whalesay

Note:

If the -container option is not provided, the default container name iris is used. This name is reserved and should be used only for containers derived from InterSystems IRIS images provided by InterSystems.
