How to run etcd as a separate service using docker?

Question

Docker

Hello.
Executed the following script on my machine in the console:

docker run -d -p 2379:2379 -p 2380:2380 -p 4001:4001 quay.io/coreos/etcd

. Got image etcd.
The question is as follows. Can I run etcd as a separate REST service and just poke it? If yes, how to do it?

Answer 1

I was forwarding the wrong ports.
The container is launched in the terminal window.
If we open another terminal window and look through docker ps, we get:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                         COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                              NAMES
1cf15da0a83a        quay.io/coreos/etcd:v3.0.16   "/usr/local/bin/etcd…"   5 minutes ago       Up 5 minutes        0.0.0.0:2379->2379/tcp, 2380/tcp   etcd

You can also put something in etcd and get a response:
