Currently I start my docker container using:

docker run -it myimage

However I'm trying to create a base container then re-using the container instead of re-creating one.

docker create mycontainer:myimage
docker start --it mycontainer

I want to be able to do the above. To create it first, then start it in --it mode. However this doesn't seem to be a valid option. I've tried using -a or -i, but they both don't seem to work properly. The console gets messed up because it's trying to read from stdin but there's no input.

Docker containers have three states.

docker create command creates a container from an image.

docker start command starts the container. there is no option to assign a virtual terminal(-t;-tty) for the container

To use the tty option, use the foreground mode of the docker run command or run the exec command in an already running container.

docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE[:TAG|@DIGEST] [COMMAND] [ARG...]

docker exec [OPTIONS] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]
