Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
podman run --rm -d -p 80:8080 nginx
The correct command is podman run --rm -d -p 80:8080 nginx. Option B correctly uses --rm to automatically remove the container after it stops, -d for detached mode, and -p 80:8080 to map host port 80 to container port 8080. Option A uses an invalid flag -rm and maps ports incorrectly (8080:80). Option C uses an invalid flag --remove. Option D maps ports incorrectly (8080:80).
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
podman run -rm -d -p 8080:80 nginx
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. This command maps host port 8080 to container port 80 (reverse of required) and uses `-rm` instead of `--rm`.
- ✓
podman run --rm -d -p 80:8080 nginx
Why this is correct
Correct. Uses `--rm`, `-d`, and correct port mapping `80:8080`.
- ✗
podman run --remove -d -p 80:8080 nginx
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The flag `--remove` is invalid; the correct flag is `--rm`.
- ✗
podman run --rm -d -p 8080:80 nginx
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect in this single-answer question. While the command is identical to B, it is not accepted as a second correct answer.
