Here we've created a new container called `db` using the `training/postgres`
|
||||
image, which contains a PostgreSQL database.
|
||||
|
||||
We need to delete the `web` container we created previously so we can replace it
|
||||
with a linked one:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker rm -f web
|
||||
|
||||
Now let's create a new `web` container and link it with our `db` container.
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo docker run -d -P --name web --link db:db training/webapp python app.py
