Tasks
1.
Read and test the node-bulletin-board example https://docs.docker.com/get-started/part2/.
2.
Create an image that uses the Linux curl command to get a webpage from the internet (e.g.,
https://google.com). The contents of the webpage must be saved in a directory from the host system.
See https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/.
3.
Create a producer Docker image and a consumer Docker image. The producer image will contain a
program that generates files every second and the consumer image will contain a program that
outputs the list of files generated by the consumer.
The producer and the consumer programs may be written as a bash script, a cpp program, a java
program, or a python script, but they must use different languages.
Test with multiple producers. What are the possible ways to view the consumer results?
Read the Storage overview from Docker – https://docs.docker.com/storage/.
Tips & Ticks
Docker commands
docker run = (docker create) + (docker start -a)
docker create – creates a container from the named image and outputs the created container id
docker start -a – is used to start the container with that id; the -a option causes the terminal to attach
so that the container runs in the foreground
Example of an image running a cpp program
# Get the GCC preinstalled image from Docker Hub
FROM gcc:4.9
# Copy the current folder which contains C++ source code to the Docker
# image under /usr/src
COPY . /usr/src/dockercpptest
# Specify the working directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/dockercpptest
# Use GCC to compile the Test.cpp source file
RUN g++ -o Test Test.cpp
# Run the program output from the previous step
CMD ["./Test"]
Example of an image executing a script copied from the host system
Dockerfile
FROM alpine
RUN apk add --no-cache bash
#COPY src dest
COPY . /app
RUN chmod +x /app/hello.sh
CMD /app/hello.sh
hello.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "Hello world"
Commands
Create an image named myimage:1.0 from a Dockerfile
docker build -t myimage:1.0 -f Dockerfile .
View the existing images
docker image ls
Launch a container named mycontainer1 from image myimage:1.0
* the -d command line argument launched the image in detached mode
docker run -it --name mycontainer1 myimage:1.0
View all containers
docker ps --all
Launch a container named mycontainer2 from image myimage:1.0 and execute the bash command
docker run -it --name mycontainer2 myimage:1.0 bash
