Introduction to

Docker

Build once, run anywhere with Docker -


the key to portable and scalable
applications

@devops-expert
What is Docker?

@devops-expert
Docker is a platform for building,
shipping, and running applications
in containers

Containers are lightweight,


portable, and self-contained
environments that package an
application along with its
dependencies and configuration
into a single unit that can run
consistently across different
environments

@devops-expert
Benefits of Docker

@devops-expert
Portability: Docker allows you to
package your application into a
container that can run anywhere,
regardless of the underlying
infrastructure

Consistency: Docker ensures that


your application runs the same
way in any environment, without
worrying about dependencies or
compatibility issues

@devops-expert
Scalability: Docker allows you to
easily scale your application by
running multiple containers in
parallel

Collaboration: Docker allows you to


easily share and deploy your
application with others, without
worrying about environment setup
or configuration

@devops-expert
Creating a Dockerfile

@devops-expert
A Dockerfile is a configuration file
that describes how to build a
Docker image, which is a snapshot
of a container that includes the
application code and its
dependencies

We can create a Dockerfile for our


web application that starts from an
existing image of a web server and
copies our static files into it:

FROM nginx:alpine
COPY static /usr/share/nginx/html

@devops-expert
Building the Image

@devops-expert
We can use the Docker CLI to build the
image from the Dockerfile, by running
the following command in the same
directory where the Dockerfile is
located:

docker build -t mywebapp .

This will create a new image called


"mywebapp" based on the instructions
in the Dockerfile

@devops-expert
Running the Container

@devops-expert
Now that we have an image, we can
use it to start a new container that
runs our web application

We can do this by running the


following command:

docker run -d -p 80:80 mywebapp

This will start a new container based


on the "mywebapp" image, and map
the container's port 80 to the host
machine's port 80, so that we can
access the web application through a
web browser

@devops-expert
Testing the web
Application

@devops-expert
We can now open a web browser and
navigate to [Link] to see our
static content served by the web
server running inside the Docker
container.

By using Docker, we have created a


portable and reproducible
environment for running our web
application.

@devops-expert
Docker allows us to scale our
application by running multiple
containers in parallel, and manage
them with tools such as Docker
Compose or Kubernetes

Docker makes collaboration and


deployment of our application easier
and more efficient.
