How-to Quick-Start with Docker & Docker Containers on Ubuntu Linux

Docker Quick-Start on Ubuntu Linux

Hello Ubuntu User! This Tutorial Shows You Step-by-Step How-to Getting-Started with Docker, Docker Engine and Docker Containers on Ubuntu GNU/Linux Desktop/Server.

Docker is a Client and Server App that makes it easy to utilize Linux Containers by providing a Standard Format for Building and Sharing those Containers.

The Docker Client is a Shell Tool that allows you to Interact with the Docker daemon by the Docker API.

A Container (UNIX technology) is a Modified Runtime Environment for a program that prevents that program from accessing protected resources except where explicitly allowed.

Linux Containers provide also the necessary Isolation between Apps to Eliminate Conflicts between runtime Dependencies and Configurations.

In this Guide I’ll display straightforwardly How-to Create, Start, Stop, Kill, and Remove Docker Containers on Ubuntu.

1. Open a Shell session
   Ctr+Alt+t to open a Terminal emulator on Desktop
   (Press “Enter” to Execute Commands)

   

2. How-to Install Docker on Ubuntu Easy Guide

   Docker Installation Guide

   Docker Installation for Ubuntu

3. Login as SuperUser
   The default Docker Administration Requires this Privileges…

   sudo su

   Then to Achieve this Session:

   exit

4. Exploring Docker Commands

   docker help

   To Display Help for a single Command:

   docker help [dockerCommand]

   Example for the create command:

   docker help create

5. How-to Create Docker Containers
   We’ll Pull the Docker Images from the Docker Repositories.
   (Although it’s possible to Install a Local Docker Image…)

   docker create --name redis redis

   This Create a Redis DB Image Named ‘redis’
   The -p Flag is related to the Connecting Port
   The -d Flag Detach the Instance and Run it on Background.

6. To List the Docker Instance
   To List All:

   docker ps -a

   And only the Running ones:

   docker ps

7. To Run Docker Containers
   By ID:

   docker start [ID]

   By Names:

   docker start [NAME]

   Example:

   docker start redis

   The Create & Run All-in-one Command Instead is:

   docker run -d --name redis1 -p 1234 redis

8. To Stop & Kill Docker Containers
   By ID:

   docker stop [ID]/[NAME]

   By Names:

   docker kill [ID]/[NAME]

   Example:

   docker stop redis

9. Remove/Delete a Docker Containers

   docker rm [ID]/[NAME]

   For Instance:

   docker rm redis
