Running the Pod after mounting hostPath
In this lesson, we will create the Pod with mounted Docker socket and play around with Docker
Creating and Testing the Pod
Let’s create the Pod and check whether, this time, we can execute Docker commands from inside the container it’ll create.
Since the image is already pulled, starting the Pod should be almost instant.
Let’s see whether we can retrieve the list of Docker images.
