3. Add an item or two and see that it works as you expect. You can mark items as complete and remove them. Your frontend is successfully storing items in the backend.

At this point, you have a running todo list manager with a few items.

If you take a quick look at your containers, you should see at least one container running that's using the `getting-started` image and on port `3000`. To see your containers, you can use the CLI or Docker Desktop's graphical interface.

Run the `docker ps` command in a terminal to list your containers.

```console
$ docker ps
```

Output similar to the following should appear.

```console
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                      NAMES

Title: Interacting with the Running Application and Verifying Container Status

Summary

This section guides users to interact with the running to-do list application by adding, marking, and removing items to confirm its functionality. It then instructs them to verify the container's status using the 'docker ps' command in the CLI to ensure the 'getting-started' image is running on port 3000.
