Notes on Docker

Mac

• Install Docker Desktop for Mac.
  • Note: you'll be required to create an account on https://hub.docker.com/
  • Note: installing this app is an alternative to brew install docker. Don't do both.

If you forget to start the Docker Desktop app, you'll see errors like this:

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

Try it out:

$ docker info

Docker for mac creates a Linux VM and gives it 2GB of RAM.

See getting started.

Start a bash shell on a debian image:

docker run -it debian bash
