Docker Beginner's Guide

What is Docker?
Docker is a tool that allows you to create, deploy, and run applications in containers.

Containers are lightweight, portable, and easy to manage, which makes them ideal for software

development.

Think of a container like a small, self-contained package with everything your application needs to

run: the code,

libraries, and settings.

Why Use Docker?


- Consistency: Containers ensure that software runs the same way on different machines,

avoiding 'it works on my machine' problems.

- Isolation: Docker keeps your applications and services separate, so they don't interfere with each

other.

- Efficiency: Containers use fewer resources than traditional virtual machines, making them fast to

start and stop.

Getting Started with Docker


1. Install Docker

- Download Docker from Docker's official site and follow the instructions for your operating system.

2. Basic Docker Concepts

- Images: A Docker image is a template for creating containers. It includes your app code, runtime,

and system tools.

- Containers: A container is a running instance of a Docker image.

- Docker Hub: A repository where you can find thousands of images ready to use.
Basic Docker Commands
- Check Docker Version

docker --version

- Pull an Image from Docker Hub

docker pull ubuntu

- List Docker Images

docker images

- Run a Container

docker run -it ubuntu

- Stop a Container

docker stop <container_id>

- Remove a Container

docker rm <container_id>

Building Your Own Docker Image


1. Create a Dockerfile

Example:

# Use an existing image

FROM ubuntu

# Install a package

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl


# Add a custom message

CMD ["echo", "Hello from my first Docker container!"]

2. Build an Image

docker build -t my-first-image .

3. Run Your Image

docker run my-first-image

Key Docker Commands Summary

| docker pull <image> | Download an image |

| docker run <image> | Start a new container from an image |

| docker ps | List all running containers |

| docker stop <container_id> | Stop a container |

| docker rm <container_id> | Remove a stopped container |
