# Run a Container – Interactive
docker run -it -p 80:80 [imagename]
Note: if you are mapping any port other than port 80 on container host please do make sure that nsg rule for azure virtual machine is allowing that inbound port. For this demo we selected port 80 and port 443 to allow inbound connections while creating virutal machine in azure.
