Docker Is a containerization software using which we can create containers.

Docker is for Devlepors, Admins(DevOps) to build and run applications as


contianers.

Docker Editions:

Docker CE --> Comunity Edition --> Open Source(Free)

Docker EE --> Enterprise Edition --> Commercial

Type: Containerization
Vendor: Docker INC

O.S --> Cross Platform(Docker can be installed in any O.S)

Docker Can Be Installed in Linux, Windows OS ,mac OS

Docker CE Can be installed in Most of the linux except redhat.

Docker EE can installed in all O.S including redhat.

Docker CE --> OpenSouce Free

Docker EE --> Commerical


DTR --> Docker Trusted Registry(Private Repo to main docker images)
UCP --> Universal Controll Pane --> It's GUI for managing Docker Machines

Docker,CoreOS,Rockert --> Containerzation Platforms/Softwares.

Dockerfile --> Dockerfile is file which contains instructions to create an image.


Which contains
Docker Domain Specific Key Words to build image.

DockerImage --> It's a package which contains everything(Softwares+ENV+Application


Code) to run your application.

DockerContainer --> Run time instance of an [Link] you run docker image container
will be created
that's where our application(process) is running.
DockerRegistriy/Repository

DockerRepo/Registry. --> We can store and share the docker images.

Public Repo --> Docker hub is a public reposotiry. Which contains all the open
source softwares as
a docker images. We can think of docker hub as play store for docker images.

Private Repo(Nexus,JFrog,D.T.R(Docker Trusted Registory)),AWS ECR --> We can store


and share the docker images with in our company
network using private repo

Docker Enigine/Daemon/Host --> It's a software or program using which we can create
images & contianers.
Docker is cross platform.

Docker CE
Docker CE will not be supported by Redhat.

Docker EE
Docker EE will be support most of the os including redhat.

First Create Account in docker hub

What is docker hub?


It's a public repository for docker images. You can think as play store for
docker images.

Install Docker on AWS Ubuntu


############################
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install [Link] -y
sudo service docker start

sudo docker info

# Check docker is installed or not


docker info

# You will get permison denied error as regular user dosn't have permisions to
execute docker [Link] user to docker group.

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER


or
sudo usermod -aG docker ubuntu

# Exit From Current SSH Terminal & SSH(Login) again .Then execute
docker ps

# Amazon Linux
================
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install docker -y
sudo service docker start

Add Regural user to dockergroup


sudo usermod -aG docker <username>

ex:
sudo usermod -aG docker ec2-user

Once you add user to group exit from the server and login again.
# Get docker information
docker info

#Install Docker in Linux (Works for most of linux flavors).


sudo curl -fsSL [Link] | /bin/bash
Docker Home/Working Dir:
/var/lib/docker

Install Docker on AWS RHEL (Offcially No Support)


############################
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo [Link]
[Link]

execute docker [Link] user to docker group.

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER


or
sudo usermod -aG docker ec2-user

# Exit From Current SSH Terminal & SSH(Login) again .Then execute
docker ps

How many containers we can run in on system/server?


It dependes on your system resources(CPU,RAM).

# List Images

docker images

# Sample DockerFile Content

If you have docker file with custom name using -f <fileName> while building docker
image.
docker build -f DockerfileMaven -t <imageName> .

Note: Image name should have repository details along with name and version.
Public Repo (Docker Hub)

docker build -t <registryName>/<RepoName>:<version> .

Note: If we don't mention version information. By defualt it will use 'latest' as


version

Inspect Docker Image


==================
docker image inspect <imageId/Name>

docker inspect <imageId/Name>

How to list only layers of an image?


docker history <imageId/Name>

Delete Image

docker rmi <imageId/Name>

docker rmi -f <imageId/Name>

Note: We cann't remove images if there are running container for the [Link]
cann't force delete images if there is running container.

If container is in stopped(exited) state we can force delete image for the stopped
container.

what is dangling images in docker?


The image which doesn't have repository mapping or tag.

How to delete all the images?


docker rmi -f imageId imageId imageId

docker rmi -f $(docker images -q)

docker system prune


Will delete all stopped containers , unused docker networks and dangling images.

docker image prune

Will delete angling images.

We can tag image with repo.

# We can use docker tag to tag images with multiple repo.


docker tag <ImageId/ExistingImageName> <ImageName>

What is working directory of docker?


/var/lib/docker
How can we move/copy images from one server to another server with out repo?

In Source Server(where you have image)


# It save image(All the layers) as a tar file

docker save -o <fileName>.tar <imageName/Id>

Then SCP tar file from Source Server to Destination Server

# In destination server
docker load -i <fileName>.tar

List Dangling images

docker images -f dangling=true

Remove Dangling Images


docker rmi $(docker images -f dangling=true -q)

docker system prune

This will remove:


- all stopped containers
- all networks not used by at least one container
- all dangling images

docker image prune


This will remove:
- all dangling images

docker contianer prune


This will remove:
- all stopped containers

docker network prune


This will remove:
- all networks not used by at least one container

Create ECR in AWS.

ECR
===
docker build -t [Link]/maven-web-app

# Authentication with ECR


aws ecr get-login-password --region ap-south-1 | docker login --username AWS --
password-stdin [Link]

Note: Create IAM Role with required policy and attach to EC2 Servers.

# IAM Policiy to autheticate and pull & Push image.


AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryFullAccess

# IAM Policiy to autheticate and pull image.

Docker CE (Community Edition) is an open-source, free version of Docker that cannot be installed on Red Hat systems, while Docker EE (Enterprise Edition) is a commercial version that supports most operating systems, including Red Hat .

IAM policies determine access control in AWS environments. For AWS ECR, they ensure secure image operations by specifying permissions. Examples include 'AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryFullAccess' for full push and pull access, and 'AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly' for pull-only permissions, critical for regulating user capabilities and maintaining security .

Docker images can be moved across servers by first saving the image as a tar file with 'docker save -o <fileName>.tar <imageName/Id>'. This tar file can then be transferred using SCP to another server, where it is loaded with 'docker load -i <fileName>.tar' .

To push a Docker image to a private repository, first build the Docker image with a tag that includes the repository's details, authenticate with the repository using 'docker login -u <username> -p <password> <URL>', and then execute 'docker push <imageName>'. Authentication ensures that only authorized users can push images, maintaining the security of the private repository .

Docker Trusted Registry (DTR) acts as a private repository for maintaining and managing Docker images, crucial for security and compliance in enterprise settings. Universal Control Plane (UCP) provides a graphical user interface to manage Docker machines, simplifying complex Docker management tasks for administrators .

Docker Images are packages that contain all necessary software, environment configurations, and application code needed to run an application. Docker Containers, on the other hand, are runtime instances of Docker Images where the application processes are executed .

To install Docker on AWS Ubuntu, you first update the package information with 'sudo apt update -y', then install Docker using 'sudo apt install docker.io -y'. Start the Docker service with 'sudo service docker start' and then verify the installation with 'sudo docker info'. Regular users need to be added to the Docker group with 'sudo usermod -aG docker $USER' to execute Docker commands; they must then log out and back in for the group changes to take effect .

A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the instructions and Docker domain-specific keywords necessary to assemble a Docker image. Each keyword, such as FROM, COPY, and RUN, specifies a sequence of actions or configurations that shape the resulting Docker image, ensuring replicability of environments .

Docker Hub acts as a centralized platform for storing and sharing Docker images publicly, similar to how an app store distributes software applications. It contains a vast collection of open-source Docker images available for download, supporting widespread distribution and accessibility .

'docker system prune' removes all stopped containers, unused networks, and dangling images, thereby freeing up resources comprehensively. 'docker image prune', in contrast, only removes dangling images, focusing solely on cleaning up unnecessary images without affecting containers or networks .
