Use the python docker sdk to run a container in detached mode

hello_docker.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import docker

client = docker.from_env()

container = client.containers.run("ubuntu:latest",
                                  command=["echo", "hello", "world!"],
                                  detach=True,
                                  remove=False,
                                  stdout=True,
                                  stderr=True
)


def main():
    result = container.wait()

    logs = container.logs()

    print(logs.decode('utf-8'))

    container.remove()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
