Docker Cookbook

Working with Docker Containers

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Listing/searching for an image
  • Pulling an image
  • Listing images
  • Starting a container
  • Listing containers
  • Looking at the container logs
  • Stopping a container
  • Removing a container
  • Removing all stopped containers
  • Setting the restart policy on a container
  • Getting privileged access inside a container
  • Accessing the host device inside a container
  • Injecting a new process into a running container
  • Reading a container's metadata
  • Labeling and filtering containers
  • Reaping a zombie inside a container

Introduction

In the previous chapter, after installing Docker, we pulled an image and created a container from it. Docker's primary objective is running containers. In this chapter, we'll see the different operations we can perform with containers, such as starting, stopping, listing, deleting, and so on. This will help us use Docker for different use cases, such as testing, CI/CD, setting up PaaS, and so on, which we'll cover in later chapters. Before we start, let's verify the Docker installation by running the following command:

    $ docker version  

This will give the Docker client and server version, as well as other details.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 as my primary environment in which to run these recipes. They should also work with the other environments.

Description

Docker is an open source tool used for creating, deploying, and running applications using containers. With more than 100 self-contained tutorials, this book examines common pain points and best practices for developers building distributed applications with Docker. Each recipe in this book addresses a specific problem and offers a proven, best practice solution with insights into how it works, so that you can modify the code and configuration files to suit your needs. The Docker Cookbook begins by guiding you in setting up Docker in different environments and explains how to work with its containers and images. You’ll understand Docker orchestration, networking, security, and hosting platforms for effective collaboration and efficient deployment. The book also covers tips and tricks and new Docker features that support a range of other cloud offerings. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to package and deploy end-to-end distributed applications with Docker and be well-versed with best practice solutions for common development problems.

Who is this book for?

If you’re a developer, system administrator, or DevOps engineer looking to learn effective ways to build and manage distributed applications with Docker, this book is for you. You’ll need a basic understanding of Linux/Unix to understand the recipes covered.

I found the approach of the book to be pragmatic and helpful. It walked through the concepts presented in the beginning of the book and tied them together in well defined examples later in the book. It was a bonus to see the CI/CD and Orchestration examples as well.While there's not much information on how Docker runs on Window's under the hood - I didn't find that too distracting as the point of a docker container is to be system agnostic.Overall, I'd recommend this book, especially to those within minimal or no exposure to Docker at all.

I see you have no e-book download option for this "free" book. I was hoping I could read it on my e-reader. In this online web-based format I have no use for it.
