Introduction to docker, let’s see how docker works

Installation Of Docker

To get up and running with docker you need to install docker into your system. Make sure docker is installed and running. Installing Docker is easy just a setup to install download from here.





Once you have it installed open “Terminal” and type “docker”. If you got it right you should have docker data displaying on “Terminal”.



How it is all works

Docker runs around “Docker File”. That we create to create docker images and containers. There is a library of docker images check here.





Now to understand the concept how docker works you should check docker commands and play with them a little.



Docker Commands

Show all docker commands

docker

Check Docker version

docker version

Docker information

Docker info

List of all containers

docker ps

or

docker container ls

Create and run container in foreground

docker container run -it -p 80:80 imageName

//incase we are creating container from nginx image

docker container run -it -p 80:80 nginx

Create and run container in background

docker container run -d -p 80:80 imageName

//incase we are creating container from nginx image

docker container run -d -p 80:80 nginx

Give name to a container

docker container run -d -p 80:80 --name anyNameYouWant nginx

//In case setting name equals nginx_local

docker container run -d -p 80:80 --name nginx_local nginx

List all containers running + not running

docker container ls -a

Stop a container

docker container stop containerIdHere

Stop all running containers

docker stop $(docker ps -aq)

Remove all containers

docker rm $(docker ps -aq)

//remove using force

docker rm $(docker ps -aq) -f

Remove container

//remove single container

docker container rm ContainerIDHere

//remove using force

docker container rm ContainerIDHere -f

//removing multiple containers

docker container rm ContainerIDHere AnotherContainerIDHere AnotherContainerIDHere

Get logs

docker container logs ContainerName

Inspect a container

docker container inspect ContainerName

Getting Into container

docker exec -it ContainerId sh

//incase creating a container and bash into it 

docker container run -it ImageName bash

*********************

Dealing with Images

*********************

List of all images

docker images

Pull Image from docker hub

docker pull imageNameHere

//Incase of nginx image

docker pull nginx

Remove all images

docker rmi $(docker images -a -q)

//using force

docker rmi $(docker images -a -q) -f

Remove image

docker image rm ImageIdHere

*********************

Docker Networks

*********************

List all available networks

docker network ls

Inspect a network

docker network inspect networkNameHere

Create network

docker network create networkName

Create container on a network

//incase of image is nginx

docker container run -d --network networkNameHere nginx

Connect existing container to network

docker network connect networkNameHere containerNameHere

Disconnect container from network

docker network disconnect networkNameHere containerNameHere

Detach network

docker network disconnect

*********************

Docker File

*********************

Building image from Docker File

docker image build -t customImageName

Running image

docker container run -p 80:80 --rm customImageName

*********************

Bind Mount

*********************

Setting up Bind Mount

docker container run  -p 80:80 -v $(pwd):/usr/share/nginx/html nginx
