Technical requirements

In this chapter, if you want to follow along with the code, you will need Docker Desktop on macOS or Windows and a code editor – preferably VS Code. The samples will also work on a Linux machine with Docker and VS Code installed.

To prepare your environment for the coming hands-on labs, follow these steps:

1. Please navigate to the folder where you have cloned the sample repository to. Normally, this should be ~/The-Ultimate-Docker-Container-Book, so do the following:

   $ cd ~/The-Ultimate-Docker-Container-Book

2. Create a new subfolder called ch06 and navigate to it:

   $ mkdir ch06 && cd ch06

A complete set of sample solutions for all the examples discussed in this chapter can be found in the sample-solutions/ch06 folder or directly on GitHub: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/The-Ultimate-Docker-Container-Book/tree/main/sample-solutions/ch06.
