How can multiple images be run in a single Docker container?

In Docker, a container can only run one image at a time. However, multiple containers can be used to simultaneously run multiple images.

Option 1: Utilize Docker Compose (recommended)

  1. Configuration file for Docker Compose
version: '3'
services:
  service1:
    image: image1
  service2:
    image: image2
  1. start the docker-compose configuration

Option 2: Utilizing multiple containers.

  1. Create a container and run the first image.
docker run -d --name container1 image1
  1. Create another container and run the second image.
docker run -d --name container2 image2
  1. You can create additional containers as needed and run other images.

Please note that running multiple images in separate containers may increase resource consumption and require more management and maintenance. Therefore, it is advisable to use Docker Compose for orchestration and management.
