# Docker Container Learning
> [time=Fri, Mar 20, 2020 7:27 PM]
## What is Docker ?
Docker is basically a container engine which uses the Linux Kernel features like namespaces and control groups to create containers on top of an operating system and automates application deployment on the container. Docker uses Copy-on-write union file system for its backend storage.
## What is container ?
A Docker container is an open source software development platform. Its main benefit is to package applications in containers, allowing them to be portable to any system running a Linux or Windows operating system (OS). A Windows machine can run Linux containers by using a virtual machine (VM).
## How to Docker?
Here are some basic things like how to install docker and how to we can pull images,build custom image, run containers,remove containers and see the logs, attach volume,inspect the config, etc...
## Install Docker on fedora 31
###### Add Docker repository:
`sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo`
###### Install docker
`sudo dnf install docker-ce`
###### Enable and Start Docker deamon.
`sudo systemctl enable docker`
`sudo systemctl start docker`
## Search for Docker images
> Search images from registry
```
[snandago@sureshn ~]$ docker search http

## Run container
> Run container by `docker run` commands with Arguments required.
```
[snandago@sureshn ~]$ docker run --name test_http -d -p 9090:80 httpd
cc80d4595d4c566af398b0ca145f7e9f82661e1751e397b59bdca3fd4a2b499e
[snandago@sureshn ~]$
```
> Above `docker` command ran the test_http apcahe container with argument -d -p where -d make sure its run on backgroud and -p to expose port 80,we can verify it using curl localhost:9090 and Good news is it works! :+1:
```
[snandago@sureshn ~]$ curl 127.0.0.1:9090
<html><body><h1>It works!</h1></body></html>
[snandago@sureshn ~]$
```
## Copy the file to running container
> `docker cp ` command can be used to copy the file to running container.
> this below example show command to copy the index.html to running container path /var/www/html
```
[snandago@sureshn my_utils]$ docker cp index.html test-myutil:/var/www/html
```
## List Running & Stopped Containers
> Running containers can be listed using `docker ps`
> `docker ps` only so the running container we can use -a argument to see all the containers [running|stopped]
```

## Inspect the Container configs
> `docker inspect` command show provides detailed information on constructs controlled by Docker.
```
[snandago@sureshn ~]$ docker inspect -f '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' test-myutil
172.17.0.2
[snandago@sureshn ~]$
[snandago@sureshn ~]$ docker inspect --format='{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.MacAddress}}{{end}}' test-myutil
02:42:ac:11:00:02
[snandago@sureshn ~]$
```
> Above docker inspect filter show container ip address and next filter show mac address. We can can filter multiple informations.
## Build Custom image
by writing the Dockerfile we can build the custome image by our wish.
> below is the sample Dockerfile
```
[snandago@sureshn docker]$ cat Dockerfile
#sample Dockerfile
FROM centos
MAINTAINER sureshcbe5@gmail.com
RUN yum install -y httpd; yum clean all
COPY index.html /var/www/html
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["/usr/sbin/httpd", "-D", "FOREGROUND"]
[snandago@sureshn docker]$
```
##### Small explaination on Dockerfile writing. How this file wrting is done.
> Dockerfile file must start with `FROM` instruction we can add the base image name there.
> The `MAINTAINER` instruction allows you to set the Author field of the generated images.
> `RUN <command>` (shell form, the command is run in a shell, which by default is /bin/sh -c on Linux or cmd /S /C on Windows)
> `COPY` Copies new files or directories from <src> and adds them to the filesystem of the image at the path <dest>.
> `EXPOSE` Informs Docker that the container listens on the specified network port(s) at runtime.
> `CMD` The main purpose of a CMD is to provide defaults for an executing container. These defaults can include an executable, or they can omit the executable, in which case you must specify an ENTRYPOINT instruction as well.
> create a Dockerfile and run docker build command to build the custom image.
