What is Docker?

History of LXC (Linux

Containers)

cgroups

namespaces

Docker, a high level API

Why do we need Docker?

dependencies as
versioned code

isolation of processes

speed

debugging

pluggability

devops a process
enforcer

devops a tool between

rpm, deb and ansible,
chef, puppet

devops a process
enforcer

Whats wrong with VMs?

speed

new vm = minutes,
new container = seconds

vms = separate kernel,

containers = shared kernel
(can have different base
image)

duplicate services (cron,

syslog) need to be run for
each role

Installing Docker

only 64-bit supported

kernel 3.8

sudo yum install docker-io

sudo service docker start

Downloading (aka pulling)

Images

$ sudo docker pull ubuntu

$ sudo docker images

Launching Containers

$
$
$
$

sudo
sudo
sudo
sudo

docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

apt-get install python3
docker ps
docker commit <container_id> image

Docker Repositories

local private images

The Docker Hub

Writing Your First

Dockerfile

# Dockerfile
FROM ubuntu
MAINTAINER James Turnbull "james@example.com"
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y nginx
RUN echo 'Hi, I am in your container' \
>/usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
EXPOSE 80
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/nginx"]
CMD ["-h"]

$ sudo docker build -t="user/nginx" .

$ sudo docker run -t -i user/nginx
$ sudo docker run -t -i user/nginx -g "daemon off;
$ sudo docker port <container>

Issues/Limitations/Misconc
eptions

lack of image inheritance

composing multiple images
(for example, ruby and
nginx)

yet another tool

dockerizing your app takes
time

not every app can be

dockerized

you still need configuration

management tools like
ansible or puppet

orchestration isnt avoided

either

Where do you go from

here?

the docker book, james

turnbull

try dockerizing one of your

applications
