Running an image creates an instance of the image. This image is called a container.
$ docker volume create portainer_data
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce
The docker run command first looks locally for an corresponding image. Secondly tries to pull from Docker Hub.
Checking the result from commandline:
$docker container ls
