quickly start

  1. Hello World

    sudo docker run debian echo "Hello World"

    In this example, I pull a Debian image from DockerHub, and create an image run echo "Hello World". We can use

    sudo docker ps -a

    to see the container that we created. You can use this command

    sudo docker image ls

    to see the image that just pulled from DockerHub.

  2. Save container as an image

    Image can be thought a snapshot of the container, we can do something in the container and save the change to create a new image. Let’s start a container, and enter it to do something.

    sudo docker run -it debian /bin/bash

    In this container, we install vim

    apt update && apt intall -y vim

    And now, we use this container to create our image.

    sudo docker commit 9839953c101c test/debianwithvim
  3. Dockerfile

    A Dockerfile is simply a text file that contains a set of steps that can be used to create a Docker image. Use debianwithvim, we can create a Dockerfile.

    FROM debian:latest
    
    RUN apt update && apt install -y vim

    and run

    sudo docker build -t test/debianwithvim .
  4. Push your image to DockerHub.

    sudo docker push test/debianwithvim

relationship between image and container

A Docker image is an immutable (unchangeable) file that contains the source code, libraries, dependencies, tools, and other files needed for an application to run.

A Docker container is a virtualized run-time environment where users can isolate applications from the underlying system. These containers are compact, portable units in which you can start up an application quickly and easily.

It’s equivalent to saying container is the instantiation of image.
