About this course

In this course you will learn about Docker container technology and how to work with Docker containers. 

You will see how to run a Docker container and learn how to identify it, how to containerize an application, and how to build the application into a Docker image so you can deploy the application. You will learn about Docker registries and see how to run a Docker registry as a container and manipulate images in the registry. You will see how to create a Docker container network, launch a container in the network, and launch multiple instances of an application within the container across the network. You will also learn about volumes, including how to create a volume, how to map files to the volume, and how to share volumes and view the contents of files in the volume.

Topics include:

• Determining a container namespace

• Building a Docker image

• Using a local Docker registry

• Networking Docker containers

• Sharing a Docker volume between containers

• Accessing multiple Docker volumes from a single container

• Accessing a file as a volume from a container

By the end of this course, you will understand how Docker containers function, and be able to use them in your network.

The course has hands-on examples that show how to perform the tasks in a CLI terminal environment.

Curriculum24 min

  • Determining a Container Namespace 3 min

    Learn how to run a Docker container and determine the container ID and namespace, then use the container ID and namespace to get the assigned IP address.

  • Building a Docker Image 3 min

    Learn how to containerize an application and build it into a Docker image, then use multi-stage build technology to minimize the final Docker image size.

  • Using a Local Docker Registry 4 min

    Run a local Docker registry as a container, then see how to tag some images to the local registry and push images to the registry and pull images from the registry.

  • Networking Docker Containers 5 min

    Learn how to create a Docker container network, launch a container in the network, then explore some key features of the container network. You will also see how to use a network alias to launch multiple instances of an application on the network.

  • Sharing a Docker Volume Between Containers 4 min

    Run a Docker container and learn how to create a volume and map the container logs to the volume, then launch a second container and share the volume and log files between the containers.

  • Accessing Multiple Docker Volumes from a Single Container 3 min

    Learn how to create volumes without a running Docker container, how to run a container and map the volumes to different directories of the container, and how to view log data content stored in the mapped volumes.

  • Accessing a File as a Volume from a Container 1 min

    Learn how to run a Docker container that shares a single file (a socket file) between the host and the container and use the shared file socket file to obtain Docker system information.
