Standards in Containers

• OCI Refer Here
• containerd Refer Here

Docker Architecture

• Earlier docker architecture had only two components
  • docker client
  • docker daemon
    
• Then docker has made the changes in architecture with layered components
  • docker client: docker client/command line to interact with daemon
  • docker daemon: This is service which forwards the request to containerd
  • containerd: manages the container lifecycle
  • runc: This creates container using libcontainer
  • shim: once the contianer is created runc makes shim the parent of container, this helps docker containers to be in running state even if the docker components are upgrading.
    

Docker installation – Easy way on linux machines

• Create a linux vm (ubuntu 22.04)
• use the docker installation script Refer Here

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o install-docker.sh
sh install-docker.sh

• After the installation execute the command to get version and you will see the failure to get the server version

docker version

* To solve this temporarily elevate the privileges

sudo docker version

* The reason is the user doesnot have permission to access unix socket socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. The permission to this exists for all the members of docker group, so lets add the current user to docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker <user-name>
exit
# relogin

docker container lifecycle

• overview
  
• Lets experiment this with nginx image Refer Here
• Create a container with name mynginx and image name nginx

docker container create --name mynginx nginx

* Lets start the container which requires container id or name

* Now lets pause and unpause the container

* Now, stop and remove the container

* Now run the container

General stuff

• Container management command
  
• Image management command
