How can I manage Docker containers in my CI pipeline?

You can manage Docker containers in your CI pipeline by using Docker commands in your CI configuration files. What CI tool are you using?

I'm using Jenkins. Can you give me an example?

Sure! In Jenkins, you can use a pipeline script to build and run Docker containers. Here's a simple example:

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                script {
                    docker.build('my-image')
                }
            }
        }
        stage('Run') {
            steps {
                script {
                    docker.image('my-image').run()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

What if I need to pass environment variables to the container?

You can pass environment variables using the -e flag in the run command. For example:

docker.image('my-image').run('-e MY_VAR=value')
