Step 3: Create Ubuntu Jammy Container

Once we have the image, let’s create the container using the downloaded Ubuntu 22.04 Image.

docker create -it --name jelly ubuntu:jammy

Explanation:

–name jelly: jelly is the name we are assigning to our container; you can use whatever you want.

ubuntu:jammy: It is the name of the image we have downloaded.

After creating the container successfully, let’s start the same using the name we have assigned to it.
