Container
Installation
- Docker can be installed on any linux or windows 10+, win 2016+
- Lets create a linux vm in any cloud of your choice.
Installation on AWS:
- Create a key pair (ensure you select pem format)
- Create a security group and open everything
- To login into linux machine
ssh -i <path to pem file> username@ipaddress
cd ~/Downloads
ssh -i .\fordocker.pem ubuntu@44.206.238.229
- After login into the linux instance
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sh get-docker.sh
sudo usermod -aG docker <username>
#exit and relogin
docker info
# This command should not give any errors
- For docker commands use cheatsheet Refer Here for docker cheatsheet.
- Lets try to run the following container
$ docker container run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
2db29710123e: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:e18f0a777aefabe047a671ab3ec3eed05414477c951ab1a6f352a06974245fe7
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(amd64)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash
Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID:
https://hub.docker.com/
- From the above logs somestuff got downloaded into my system
- Lets run the same command again
docker container run hello-world

- This time nothing got downloaded
- To run a container we need a docker image. In the above commands
hello-world was name of the docker image.
-
Docker images are available on docker registries. The default docker registry is docker hub Refer Here. Refer Here for the hello-world image repository in docker hub
-
How to create container?
docker container run <image-name>
- What happens at a highlevel during container creation?
- docker client forwards the request to docker engine/docker daemon
- docker engine checks for existence of images locally
docker image ls.
- If the image is not found, it tries to download from the configured registry (by default docker hub is configured)
- Once the image is downloaded, the docker engine creates a container based on docker image
- To download the image from registry we use
pull. if we create a new image in some machine to make it available in your repository we will be using push
