Lession 02 - Docker Basics - Where Am I Start Learn Docker

  • October 1, 2019

In this tutorial I’m going to teach you the basics you should have known before dive into depth.

Now, I’m going to cover up fundamentals you must know.

Understand Docker Images:

A. List Docker Images

$docker images

Repository - Image where it came from TAG - Version Number Image ID - Internal representation of Docker Image

B. Running an Image

$docker run -ti ubuntu:latest bash

Docker image tuns into a running container. Docker run takes images into container.

-ti Terminal Interactive - stands for interactive shell (Which help for TAB Completion & work correctly)

bash - Run command on a bash shell

Now I’m in a Ubuntu environment

Now check

#cat /etc/lsb-release

To exit

#exit

D. List the Running Images

$docker ps

ID : Running Container’s ID IMAGE : Image which made from COMMAND : Command it running on STATUS
PORT

E. List the Recently Stopped Last Containers

$docker ps -l

F. List All Stopped Containers

$docker ps -al

G. Docker Commit Docker Commit takes containers back to new images.

$docker run -ti ubuntu:latest bash

#touch test.file

#exit

$docker ps -l

ID : XXXXXXXX IMAGE : ubuntu COMMAND : bash CREATED : STATUS : PORTS : NAMES : ubuntu_happy

$docker commit

OR

$docker commit

Which returns Image ID sha256:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Now, I have a newly created Docker Images.

H. Give Images a Name Using TAG

$docker tag my-new-image

Now List Docker Images

$docker images

I. Now, Run Docker Image using The TAG

$docker run -ti my-new-image bash

#ls -la /test.file

Now, It has my test.file in it.

How To Run Processes In Docker Containers

$docker run –rm -ti ubuntu sleep 5

$docker run -ti ubuntu bash -c “sleep 3; echo all done”

–rm Delete this container when it exits

-ti Interactive Terminal

Keep Things Running on Container

$docker run -d -ti ubuntu

-d detach things running and leaving running in the background

Now, Jump into the task again that I had started over there.

$docker attach <container_name>

By Pressing Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Q these key combinations you can exit from terminal by detaching from it. But, leaves it running. So you can attach back again.

again you can find running docker container using “docker ps” and you can run it again using “docker attach

Docker Logs: By looking at the container output. Even though, you start the container, but it didn’t work. Now “docker logs” command come to an action.

$docker run –name example -d ubuntu bash -c “lose /etc/passwd” docker logs <container_name> use look at what the output was.

docker logs <container_name>

$docker logs exmaple

Stopping & Removing Containers:

docker kill <container_name> Its stop the container.

docker rm <container_name> Its remove the container.

$docker kill <container_name> docker rm <container_name> $docker ps -l

Docker Resource Limit Enforce Management: Docker has a feature to limit & enforce limit the resources. You can limit it to a fixed amount of memory as you need.

Docker Commands

Creating Docker Containers

-d Detach from the container run the container in the background.

[root@svr1 ~]docker container run -d nginx

Here it can see running in the background.

-i Keep “STDIN” open

[root@svr1 ~]# docker container run -it ubuntu:latest 
root@fdc372caedf7:/# ls

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS"

-rm Automatically remove the container when its program exits.

docker container run --rm ubuntu:latest

–name string - Assign a name to a docker container

docker container run --name my_webserver nginx
Exposing & Publishing Container Ports

-d run as a background process

[root@svr1 ~]# docker container run -d nginx
aac2d187d875c571ab7461614cad5b64a6453c6083fd4761c3e9e564e5517fc6
[root@svr1 ~]# curl http://172.25.10.50
curl: (7) Failed connect to 172.25.10.50:80; Connection refused

In here you can see, we can’t access nginx welcome page even though nginx running. The reason is, we didn’t setup port mapping for nginx container. just only we did is expose port 3000.

–expose open up port 3000

[root@svr1 ~]# docker container run -d --expose 3000 nginx
1999e3a8a32c3f73e0a03663372141093ca096c712d1de76da609702474a242d
[root@svr1 ~]# docker container ls 
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
1999e3a8a32c        nginx               "nginx -g 'daemon of…"   10 seconds ago      Up 9 seconds        80/tcp, 3000/tcp    nice_lewin
8317663311f0        nginx               "nginx -g 'daemon of…"   46 minutes ago      Up 46 minutes       80/tcp              hardcore_leakey

Now, I’m going to expose & map the port same time.

[root@svr1 ~]# docker container run -d --expose 3000 -p 8080:80 nginx

List All Port Mappings:

To see all the port mapping for a specific docker container.

############# EXECUTE COMMANDS ON A CONTAINER ##################

There Three Ways…

  1. Dockerfile

At the end of the Dockerfile for the nginx has mentioned “CMD”

  1. During a Docker run
[root@svr1 ~]# docker container run -it nginx /bin/bash
