Description

Problem description

Documentation is aimed at a developer audience.

However, there are other audiences you don't appear to be serving, e.g.,

  • General users running Docker to use software in a container
  • Tech Writers using Docker to document software in a container
  • ...etc

Some Docker Desktop help would be much appreciated for these users. Even if it's a cheat sheet that explains things like:

  • Starting a container
  • How to access the container terminal
  • Deleting containers and images
  • ...etc
Problem location
  • I saw a problem at the following URL:

  • I couldn't find the information I wanted. I expected to find it near the following URL

  • Other:

Research direction

No target documentation URL or file is provided; start by reviewing the Docker Documentation repository and existing Docker Desktop help for gaps affecting general users and technical writers. Done should be a clearly scoped beginner-oriented guide or cheat sheet covering container startup, terminal access, and deletion of containers and images.
