&lt;host directory&gt; is the directory on your computer that's mounted into the container.<br>
&lt;docker directory&gt; is the directory where the computers directory is mounted in.


When you exit from the bash shell, the container will be stopped.  Use the following commands to list all the containers, start the container up, and execute an interactive bash shell on it. To copy file into the docker container, just move them into the &lt;host directory&gt; from above and you'll find them in the &lt;docker directory&gt;.

=== Mounting a volume or shared directory ===
To mount a volume or shared directory, use:
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
docker run -i -t flightgear/terragear /bin/bash -v <host directory>:<docker directory>
</syntaxhighlight>
where <code><host directory></code> is the directory on your computer that's mounted into the container and <code><docker directory></code> is the directory where the computers directory is mounted in.  Then to copy files into the docker container, simply move them into the <code><host directory></code> on the host operating system and you'll find them in the <code><docker directory></code> in the docker container.
