Intro

I'm on Mac OS X and so you're going to see a lot of setup tweaks for the platform that are not necessarily needed for your environment, esp. Linux one. When you see boot2docker and you're on Linux, just disregard the line or even entire paragraph.

Docker doesn't run directly on OS X and on Windows and that's why you need boot2docker that is just a tiny core of Linux to have environment with things required to run Docker - lxc, cgroups and others (highly advanced)

There's Docker Hub to host Docker images (just like GitHub for social coding). Pick one image and start it off right away using:

docker run --rm user/image

where user is the owner of the image on Docker Hub.

docker secret

docker system

$ docker system df
$ docker system prune
$ docker system prune -a    // deep clean

docker volume

$ docker volume ls

Working inside a Docker container

You can work in the Docker container using:

docker exec -it <container name> /bin/bash

Docker sample - Easy deployment of Apache Kafka using Docker

This part was published as a blog post Apache Kafka on Docker as part of a larger project to explore the features of Apache Kafka.

Docker sample - Artifactory on Docker

There are different ways to run Artifactory on your laptop. You may pull down zip or rpm files and install them on your local workstation. Or you could merely docker pull the latest Docker image of Artifactory and give it a go without messing the local workstation up (at least not that much as installing it on your OS directly).

Consult Artifactory as a Docker Image.

  1. boot2docker up unless you've done it already.

  2. $(boot2docker shellinit) to set up the terminal.

  3. Execute docker pull jfrog-docker-registry.bintray.io/artifactory/artifactory-oss to download Artifactory OSS's Docker image.

     ➜  ~  docker pull jfrog-docker-registry.bintray.io/artifactory/artifactory-oss

  4. docker run --rm --name artifactory -p 8081:8081 -p 80:80 -t jfrog-docker-registry.bintray.io/artifactory/artifactory-oss

     ➜  development_environment git:(DS-880-ansible) ✗ docker run --rm --name artifactory -t jfrog-docker-registry.bintray.io/artifactory/artifactory-oss

  5. docker ps to see the Artifactory container's status

     ➜  development_environment git:(DS-880-ansible) ✗ docker ps
 CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                                          COMMAND                CREATED              STATUS              PORTS                                                 NAMES
 4cf495405166        jfrog-docker-registry.bintray.io/artifactory/artifactory-oss   "/tmp/runArtifactory   About a minute ago   Up About a minute   0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8081->8081/tcp, 443/tcp   artifactory

  6. Enter Artifactory's using http://localhost/artifactory. If you are running on a Windows or Mac systems using boot2docker you need to use DOCKER_HOST IP instead of localhost, i.e. boot2docker ip.

  7. You may also access the shell of the container using docker exec -it artifactory /bin/bash.

     ➜  ~  docker exec -it artifactory /bin/bash
 [root@eb7e727e5b36 /]#

    Please restrain yourself from modifying the container as the idea of Docker containers is that they're immutable once booted up and any changes should rather be done at their definition.

Docker and GitHub

  1. Create docker-whatever repo on GitHub with Dockerfile and README.md.
  2. Run docker run -td -p 8000:8000 paimpozhil/docker-mist to use the image from Docker Hub.
  3. Use 8000 as if you ran the app on the bare metal of your local workstation.

If you however want to customize the Docker-based offering, git clone the repo and tweak Dockerfile that comes with it:

  1. git clone https://github.com/paimpozhil/docker-mist.git
  2. cd docker-mist
  3. docker build -t mistio .
  4. docker run -td -p 8000:8000 mistio

Enter the shell of a given container using docker run -ti -p 8000:8000 mistio /bin/bash. Note the /bin/bash as the last parameter that gives you the entry point to the running container.
