clean up (--rm) By default a container’s file system persists even after the container exits. This makes debugging a lot easier (since you can inspect the final state) and you retain all your data by default.

If instead you’d like Docker to automatically clean up the container and remove the file system when the container exits, you can add the --rm flag:
