What is it?

• Docker Engine – CLI – Docker Daemon – Docker Registry

• Docker Hub – Cloud service

• Share Applications • Automate workflows • Assemble apps from components

4

5

Container

• Combines several things – Linux Cgroups – Kernel Namespaces – Docker Image – Has a lifecycle

6

Linux Cgroups

• Kernel Feature • Groups of processes • Control resource allocations

– CPU – Memory – Disk – I/O

• May be nested

7

Linux Kernel Namespaces

• Kernel Feature • Restrict your view of the system

– Mounts (CLONE_NEWNS) – UTS (CLONE_NEWUTS)

• uname() output – IPC (CLONE_NEWIPC) – PID (CLONE_NEWPID) – Networks (CLONE_NEWNET) – User (CLONE_NEWUSER)

• Not supported in Docker yet • Has privileged/unprivileged modes today

• May be nested

8

Docker Image

9

• NOT A FILESYSTEM • NOT A VHD • Basically a tar file • Has a hierarchy

• Arbitrary depth • Fits into the Docker Registry

Docker Registry

10

• Git Repo Semantics • Pull • Push • Commit • Hierarchy

Container

• Combines several things – Linux Cgroups – Kernel Namespaces – Docker Image – Has a lifecycle

11

Dockerfile

• Like a Makefile (shell script with keywords) • Extends from a Base Image • Results in a new Docker Image • Imperative, not Declarative

12

Dockerfile Example

FROM centos MAINTAINER aotto@aotto.com RUN yum -y install openssh-server EXPOSE 22 ADD start.sh /start.sh CMD /start.sh

13

Dockerfile Example

FROM adrian_server_with_ssh MAINTAINER aotto@aotto.com RUN yum -y install httpd EXPOSE 22 80 ADD start.sh /start.sh CMD /start.sh

14

• The Life of a Container – Conception

• BUILD an Image from a Dockerfile – Birth

• RUN (create+start) a container – Reproduction

• COMMIT (persist) a container to a new image • RUN a new container from an image

– Sleep • KILL a running container

– Wake • START a stopped container

– Death • RM (delete) a stopped container

• Extinction – RMI a container image (delete image)

Docker Container Lifecycle

15

Docker CLI Commands (v1.1.2)

attach Attach to a running container build Build an image from a Dockerfile commit Create new image from container's changes

cp Copy files from containers fs to host diff Inspect changes on a container's fs events Get real time events from the server export Stream contents of container as tar history Show the history of an image images List images import Create new fs image from a tarball info Display system-wide information inspect Return low-level info on a container kill Kill a running container load Load an image from a tar archive login Login to the docker registry server logs Fetch the logs of a container port Lookup public-facing port

pause Pause all processes within a containerps List containerspull Pull image or repo from docker registry push Push image or repo to docker registryrestart Restart a running containerrm Remove one or more containersrmi Remove one or more imagesrun Run a command in a new containersave Save an image to a tar archivesearch Search for an image in the docker indexstart Start a stopped containerstop Stop a running containertag Tag an image into a repositorytop Lookup running processes of a containerunpause Unpause a paused containerversion Show the docker version informationwait Block and print exit code upon cont exit

Questions Before Demo?

18

Demo

Demo

• Build an Image from a Dockerfile • Manually tweak an image, commit, and start a new container • Install patches in a container, and tag it as :latest • Show different distros running on the same kernel • Run a container using a different CMD than the built-in one
