Getting started with Docker

Docker is the de-facto standard in containerization. It allows you to create an environment that can easily be used for development, testing, and deployment minimizing the chances of problems that stem from the gap between these environments.

It also provides a much smoother path to onboard new developers as they don’t have to spend ages understanding and setting up their development environment.

We’ll start from the beginning and we’ll see how far we can get in this material.

Remember, this is a workshop with hands-on experience. I’ll explain some stuff and then you get exercises to do.

Install Docker
docker run hello-world
Docker image vs container
Docker Registry / Docker HUB
Docker Daemon, Client
Create simple image
Distribute a command line tool
Distribute a web application (just flask)
Distribute a web application flask + nginx
Distribute a web application flask + nginx + MongoDB
Create an image with all the dependencies of a build and then reuse that image in every later stage. Rebuild the base image whenever the requirements file was changed.
docker pull
Run several Docker images at once
Create an image in the repository (from github)
docker-compose
Linux, OSX, and Windows
What are the layers?

Prerequisite:

You need to bring your computer. Preferably with Linux or OSX or with Linux running in a VirtualBox.
