I had created a lot of containers. I am new to this docker container system. I do a docker ps -a then I get following result
debian@osboxes:~$ docker ps -a

I had made some changes in a container which was created using one of hadoop image as below
debian@osboxes:~$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
python latest eeadc22d21a9 2 weeks ago 933MB
hadoop-build-1001 latest 1d1a162a72a6 3 months ago 2.02GB
hadoop-build latest 5c1480006f78 3 months ago 1.96GB

I powered off the machine and rebooted etc.
I want to know that I made changes to one of the containers say in above output of docker ps -a the container was
25bfc74fab3b 1d1a162a72a6 "/bin/bash" 2 days ago Exited (1)
how can after a reboot etc I connect or start the same container again. What I am currently doing is
docker run -it 1d1a162a72a6 /bin/bash
I make some changes and run a few python programms. But after a reboot all the changes are gone that means those python files which I had edited I have to copy paste them again in the container and do every thing from scratch.I have to install vim each time and then each time I do apt-get update install softwares and then check edit the programe. I am not able to understand how to go back to same container which was created moments ago before exiting. What mistake I am doing here?
docker run always starts a new container. You can re-attach to the existing container provided it wasn't started with --rm using docker start:
docker start -ai <CONTAINER_ID>
Notice that you should use container ID, not image ID as a parameter to docker start. See more in Docker help:
$ docker start --help
Usage: docker start [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
Start one or more stopped containers
Options:
-a, --attach Attach STDOUT/STDERR and forward signals
--detach-keys string Override the key sequence for detaching a container
-i, --interactive Attach container's STDIN
