Facts

Some Facts about Docker

• By-default Docker runs with 1GB memory
• Containers are immutable
• Container shares OS memory – OS Virtualisation
• Docker Inc started by Solomon Hykes
• Docker image made of many layers, any update adds new layers
• Docker uses Union FS for implementing Layered docker images

DockerFile

Create a simple docker File for running a webapp

• FROM httpd
• COPY ./index.html /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/
• EXPOSE 80
• CMD apachectl -D FOREGROUND

Create a simple docker File for running a Java

• FROM openjdk:8
• WORKDIR /src
• COPY ./Test.java .
• RUN javac ./Test.java
• CMD java Test

Multi-Stages Build

Create a multi Stage docker File for running a Java

# build
FROM openjdk:8 AS Stage1
WORKDIR /src
COPY Test.java .
RUN javac Test.java

# execution
FROM alpine
RUN apk add openjdk8-jre
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=Stage1 /src/Test.class .
CMD java Test

Create a multi Stage docker File for running Angular

FROM node:14.15 AS Stage1

RUN npm install -g @angular/cli
WORKDIR /src
COPY . .
RUN ng build --prod

FROM httpd
COPY --from=Stage1  /src/dist/app1/ /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/
EXPOSE 80
CMD apachectl -D FOREGROUND

Run a MongoDB Container with Volumes

/var/lib/docker/volumes – Volumes location

• docker container run -itd –name mysql2 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -p 3306:3306 -v myvolume:/var/lib/mysql mysql
• docker container run -itd –name bindmount -p 8080:80 -v /Users/jonesalapat/jones/work/docker/app1/app3/:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs httpd

Custom Network

Container have address starting from 172.17.0.x, CIDR for Docker container :- 172.17.0.0/16

docker container run -itd –name c3 –network mybridge alpine : RUN a container on your network

DOCKER COMPOSE

Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.

First APP
Second APP

docker-compose.yml
version: '3'

services: 
  pythonapp: 
    build: ./FirstAPP
    ports:
      - '3000:3000'
  
  nodeapp:
    build: ./SecondAPP
    ports:
      - '4000:4000'

The command to up docker compose file

•  docker-compose up -d
•  docker-compose down

DOCKER SWARM :

A Docker Swarm is a group of virtual machines running the Docker and that have been configured to join together in a cluster.
ocker works to maintain that desired state. For instance, if a worker node becomes unavailable, Docker schedules that node’s tasks on other nodes. A task is a running container which is part of a swarm service and managed by a swarm manager, as opposed to a standalone container. These act similar to Kubernetes/ ECS etc.
