💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'run' tries to create a new container instead of starting an existing one.

Using 'create' only creates a container but does not start it.

The start command is used to start an existing container named 'db'. The run command creates and starts a new container, which is different.

First, you stop the container with stop, then remove it with rm.
