--------------
``MAINTAINER <name>``

This instruction is never automatically reset.
2.3 RUN
-------
``RUN <command>``
The `RUN` instruction is the main one, it allows you to execute any commands on the `FROM` image and to save the results.
You can use as many `RUN` as you want within a Dockerfile, the commands will be executed on the result of the previous command.

2.4 CMD

``CMD <command>``
The `CMD` instruction sets the command to be executed when running the image.
It is equivalent to do `docker commit -run '{"Cmd": <command>}'` outside the builder.

Do not confuse `RUN` with `CMD`. `RUN` actually run a command and save the result, `CMD` does not execute anything.

``EXPOSE <port> [<port>...]``
The `EXPOSE` instruction sets ports to be publicly exposed when running the image.
