 Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

Describe Docker and its functionalities

Explain Docker Architecture

State the properties of Docker

Demonstrate the installation of Docker Engine

Docker: Overview
 Introduction

o Docker is a platform for developers and sysadmins to develop, ship, and run applications by
using containers.
o Docker helps the user to quickly assemble applications from its components and eliminates
the friction during code shipping.
o Docker aids the user to test and deploy the code into production.
 Functionalities

Test the application

Develop application and its Docker provides a Deploy the application into
supporting components platform for the user production environment,
using containers to: as a container or an
orchestrated service
Docker Engine
 Docker Engine

Docker Engine is a client-server application with these major components:

• Server: It is a type of long-running program called a daemon process (the dockerd

command).

• REST API: It specifies the interfaces that programs can use to communicate with the
daemon and instructs it on what to do next.

• CLI: It is a command line interface client that is used to write the docker commands.

 Docker Engine

Docker Engine supports the tasks and workflows involved to build, ship, and run container-based
applications. The engine creates a daemon process on the server side that hosts volumes of files,
containers, networks, and storage.

Docker consists of:

• The Docker Engine: It is a lightweight and powerful open source containerization technology
combined with a workflow for building and containerizing your applications.

• Docker Hub: It is a Software as a Service (SAAS) for sharing and managing your application
stacks.

Install Docker
 Installation of Docker

OS Requirements:

The user must have the 64-bit version of any one of the following Ubuntu versions:

• Disco 19.04
• Cosmic 18.10
• Bionic 18.04 (LTS)
• Xenial 16.04 (LTS)
Install, Upgrade, and Uninstall Docker CE for Linux

Problem Statement: You have been asked to install Docker Community Edition for Linux.
Upgrade it if required and remove it later once your requirement is fulfilled.

Steps to Perform:

1. Install Docker CE from the Docker repository.

2. Install Docker CE from the .deb package file.
3. Upgrade Docker CE using the update command.
4. Uninstall Docker CE using the purge command.
Configure Docker Daemon to Start on Boot

Problem Statement: Your manager has requested you to configure Docker daemon to start
the Docker service on system boot to avoid manually starting the Docker service.

Steps to Perform:

1. Use systemd command to start the Docker service on system boot for Ubuntu 16.04 and
higher versions.
2. Use systemctl command to enable, disable, or reload Docker daemon on system boot.
3. Navigate to the [Link] configuration file to configure the daemon flags and
environment variables.
Docker Architecture
 Docker Architecture

Docker uses a client-server architecture. The docker client interacts with the Docker daemon that
performs running, heavy lifting of building, and distribution of Docker containers.

 Docker Architecture

Docker daemon

It accepts the Docker API requests and manages Docker objects, such as images, containers,
networks, and volumes. A daemon can also communicate with other daemons to manage
Docker services.

Docker client

It is the primary path for Docker users to interact with the Docker application.
 Docker Architecture

Docker registries

It stores Docker images. A Docker registry can be of classified into two categories:
Local Registry: It helps the user to pull the image.
Docker Trusted Registry: It is a feature the Docker Enterprise that helps the user to pull the
image and scan the image.

Docker objects

When the user uses Docker, in order to package the application and store it in isolated bundles,
user creates and uses objects, such as images, containers, networks, volumes, plugins.
Images and Containers

Problem Statement: Your team lead wants you to containerize an existing application into
docker images. In order to prepare you for that, first he wants you to get familiar with various
aspects of Docker images and containers.

Steps to Perform:

1. Pull an image from Docker Hub.

2. Create a new container from image pulled.
3. Stop the running container.
4. Delete the container.
5. Remove the image.
 Key Takeaways

Docker is a platform for developers and sysadmins to

develop, ship, and run applications.

Docker uses a client-server architecture.

The docker client interacts with the Docker daemon that

performs running, heavy lifting of building, and distribution
of Docker containers.

Docker Engine: Community is supported on x86_64 (or

amd64), armhf, arm64, s390x (IBM Z), and ppc64le (IBM
Power) architectures.
