  • Background Server: Run the server in the background using the -d option, keeping your terminal free for other tasks.
  • Flexible Port Selection: Choose any port to expose, allowing for custom configurations based on your needs.
  • Local Directory Mapping: Easily specify a local directory for your blog. Just ensure it’s empty to copy initialization files from the image.
  • Custom Post Creation: Write your posts with your favorite editor; there's no need to stick to a specific tool.
  • Automatic Cleanup: Use the --rm option to ensure that the container is automatically removed after use, keeping your environment tidy.
