To run a command within an image:
docker run<image> command
sudo docker run ubuntu echo HelloWorld
HelloWorld
To install something on an ubuntu image
sudo docker run apt-get install <package>
find ID of the container
sudo docker ps -l
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
0dac167b178d ubuntu:14.04 ps aux 12 minutes ago Exited (0) 12 minutes ago goofy_bell
committing changes made to the images:
docker commit 0da firstcommit
723aa6ead77a14ff05cd2c640163345ec5a36fa9a4c757a6872a1ec919ab9345
To get log of the present container:
sudo docker logs 0dac167b178d
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 1 0.0 0.0 7132 644 ? Rs 09:10 0:00 ps aux
To inpect the details of an image
sudo docker inspect <id: 3-4 characters of id will work too>
sudo docker inspect 0da
<json output>
Push container image to the index
sudo docker push ubuntu
Creating Dockerfile:
All instructions in Dokerfile are in the form of
INSTRUCTION arguments
Instruction are not case sensitive but CAPS are recommended. The first instruction in any Dockerfile is the FROM instruction. The syntax is:
FROM <image>
FROM ubuntu
This will look for the image in Docker index. You can also search docker index by the command docker search
Next is the RUN instruction. The RUN instruction will execute any commands on the current image. After executing, it will also commit the changes. The committed image can be used for the next instructions from the Dockerfile. This way the committed changes form a layer of changes just like any other source code control system. Syntax of RUN command:
RUN <command>
RUN apt get install -y apache2
Here the RUN command is equivalent to docker run image command + docker commit container_id. Here image will be automatically replaced with the current image and container_id is the result of the previous commit.
Once you have created your Dockerfile you can use docker build to create you image from it. You can use the command in this way.
Create a Dockerfile with the content
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get install -y memcached
Save and close the file. If the file is in you r present directory:
docker build .
If the file in in some other location
docker build path/to/file
If passing through STDIN
docker build - < Dockerfile
If passing through github URL
docker build github.com/roshan4074
you can check the container with the command:
sudo docker images
To apply a tag to an image you the command: docker tag
sudo docker tag <container_id>
To comment a code use the "#' symbol followed by the text
To specify the contact info of the Maintainer of the Dockerfile:
MAINTAINER Name contact@email
To trigger a command as soon as a container starts, use ENTRYPOINT instruction
ENTRYPOINT echo "Hello, Container Started"
Another Format to use ENTRYPOINT Instrcution is
ENTRYPOINT ["echo", "Hello, Container Started"]
This is the preferred format
e.g
ENTRYPOINT ["wc", "-l"]
To execute a certain command by a particular user use the command USER
USER roshan
T open a particular port for a process use EXPOSE instruction
EXPOSE 8080
