You can run images from Docker Hub using the CLI or Docker Desktop Dashboard.

{{< tabs >}}
{{< tab name="Docker Desktop" >}}

1. In the Docker Desktop Dashboard, select the **nginx** image in the **Docker
   Hub** view. For more details, see [Step 1: Find an image in Docker Hub's
   library](#step-1-find-an-image-in-docker-hubs-library).

2. On the **nginx** screen, select **Run**.

   If the image doesn't exist on your device, it is automatically pulled from
   Docker Hub. Pulling the image may take a few seconds or minutes depending on
   your connection. After the image has been pulled, a window appears in Docker
   Desktop and you can specify run options.

3. In the **Host port** option, specify `8080`.
4. Select **Run**.

   The container logs appear after the container starts.

5. Select the **8080:80** link to open the server, or visit
   [https://localhost:8080](https://localhost:8080) in your web browser.

6. In the Docker Desktop Dashboard, select the **Stop** button to stop the
   container.

{{< tab name="CLI" >}}

1. Open a terminal window.

   > [!TIP]
   >
   > The Docker Desktop Dashboard contains a built-in terminal. At the bottom of
   > the Dashboard, select **>_ Terminal** to open it.

2. In your terminal, run the following command to pull and run the Nginx image.

   ```console
   $ docker run -p 8080:80 --rm nginx
   ```

   The `docker run` command automatically pulls and runs the image without the
   need to run `docker pull` first. To learn more about the command and its
   options, see the [`docker run` CLI
   reference](../../reference/cli/docker/container/run.md). After running the
   command, you should see output similar to the following.

   ```console {collapse=true}

3. Visit [https://localhost:8080](https://localhost:8080) to view the default
   Nginx page and verify that the container is running.

4. In the terminal, press <kdb>Ctrl+C</kbd> to stop the container.
