Notes, Daily commands, high level concepts related to the daily use of dockers for software development purpose.
Concepts of Dockers
How dockers system works ?, Its all refer to a file system which differentiate it from virtual machines. In my initial finding it uses the base concept from Cgroups and Linux Containers.
What is talks actually On High Level:
It talks about the layers of files, like It first picks up the base file system which it says like base image of containers(e.g. specific linux version) and then on top it java installation (JDK stuff), and then on top of it specific webservice deployment. So now this web service running only in an isolated environment and not conflicting with any other. its like a stack of files.
To understand the insight of dockers, need to understand the concepts of cgroups and Linux Containers (LXC):
cgroups (abbreviated from control groups) is a Linux kernel feature that limits, accounts for, and isolates the resource usage (CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, etc.) of a collection of processes.
Refer : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/resource_management_guide/ch01
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXC
LXC (Linux Containers) is an operating-system-level virtualization method for running multiple isolated Linux systems (containers) on a control host using a single Linux kernel.

5 Important Commands on Dockers ( from Medium)
- docker logs <container_id>
Hopefully you’ve already tried this, but if not, start here. This’ll give you the full STDOUT and STDERR from the command that was run initially in your container. - docker stats <container_id>
If you just need to keep an eye on the metrics of your container to work out what’s gone wrong, docker stats can help: it’ll give you a live stream of resource usage, so you can see just how much memory you’ve leaked so far. - docker cp <container_id>:/path/to/useful/file /local-path
Often just getting hold of more log files is enough to sort you out. If you already know what you want, docker cp has your back: copy any file from any container back out onto your local machine, so you can examine it in depth (especially useful analysing heap dumps). - docker exec -it <container_id> /bin/bash
Next up, if you can run the container (if it’s crashed, you can restart it with docker start <container_id>), shell in directly and start digging around for further details by hand. - docker commit <container_id> my-broken-container &&
docker run -it my-broken-container /bin/bash
Can’t start your container at all? If you’ve got a initial command or entrypoint that immediately crashes, Docker will immediately shut it back down for you. This can make your container unstartable, so you can’t shell in any more, which really gets in the way.
Fortunately, there’s a workaround: save the current state of the shut-down container as a new image, and start that with a different command to avoid your existing failures.
Have a failing entrypoint instead? There’s an entrypoint override command-line flag too.
How to check if docker installed correctly
Read these four steps :
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the “hello-world” image from the Docker Hub.
(amd64)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.
eSumit@Sumits-MacBook-Pro:~/Documents/Public Github/GitPush/CloudManager$ docker run hello-world Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally latest: Pulling from library/hello-world ca4f61b1923c: Pull complete Digest: sha256:66ef312bbac49c39a89aa9bcc3cb4f3c9e7de3788c944158df3ee0176d32b751 Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. (amd64) 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal. To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: $ docker run -it ubuntu bash Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID: https://cloud.docker.com/ For more examples and ideas, visit: https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/ eSumit@Sumits-MacBook-Pro:~/Documents/Public Github/GitPush/CloudManager$
Difference between Docker-Machine and Dockers
Docker-Machine to create a virtual machine with the help of Virtual-Box (Driver) stuff if creating machine on local or other driver can be used e.g. creating on aws, So on local with Docker-Machine we can create, start and stop virtual host e.g. it runs inside virtual box.
Docker start, run individual docker components
Important :
docker run to run a new container
docker ps to see running and stopped containers
docker images to see info about images
docker run Run a command in a new container
docker start Start one or more stopped containers

A Cluster = A Swarm
Containerising software applications
CI/CD WorkFlows
A Docker Image contains – FileSystem ( with application code and dependencies), Metadata ( influences how a container runs), A command (Gets executed as a process on invocation)
Two Ways to create docker images :
- Registry (Base Image), Local System (Docker File), Local system (App Files) – Build all together – and produce Image-A — Dockerfile Instructions
- Local Repo (Image-A_ Run inside the Container (FileSystem) If anything changes in the file system creates an Image-B (Local Repo) — Committing a Container
#Delete every Docker containers
image – a container is the runtime instance of a image , Its like container get created from an image if used docker run image commands
# Must be run first because images are attached to containers
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)
#Delete every Docker image
docker rmi -f $(docker images -q)
