1. Docker, but what it is? Introduction to Docker and its ecosystem
2. Who am I? • Julien Maitrehenry • DevOps, Cloud Architect, Developer • Co-founder @Kumojin • Kumojin.com • Github.com/jmaitrehenry • jmaitrehenry.ca
3. Agenda • What is Docker? • Docker Compose • Orchestration • Docker Desktop • Questions? Photo by Ian Taylor on Unsplash
4. What is Docker?
5. But what does « Docker » mean? • An Open Source project and community • Tools from this project • A company: Docker inc.
6. And what is it for?
7. At the beginning • One goal • Linux only • Intel CPU only • A big and fat binnary
8. And now? • Linux and Windows containers • Running on Mac, Windows and Linux • Multi Architecture (intel, armv5-8, ppc, i386) • Split into many components • Component standardisation (OCI, CNCF) • Adopted by a large majority of cloud providers
9. What is a container? • An isolated space where an application run • Contain everything needed to run the application (libs, binaries, etc.) • Own its dedicated network stack, users, process, etc. • Share the host kernel • Could have some resource restriction (CPU, Ram, etc.)
10. How is it different from a VM?
11. How to create a container?
12. What is an image? • An union of layers • Each layers are immutable • Each layers are reusable
13. Let’s build a Docker image Base image Environnent variable Variable set during build Working directory Copy files into image Command executed during build Copy folder into image Default command that will be executed during a docker run
14. How to transform our file into an image? ❯ docker build -t myapp:v1.0.0 --build-arg NODE_ENV=development . Command to build an image Give a name and tag to the image Set a build variable Build context If the Dockerfile file has another name or is located elsewhere, it must be specified with: -f .docker/Dockerfile Warning : the context build is always the last parameter
15. How to run a container? - I can’t access my app from my browser - Ctr+C do not stop my app - The container name will be randomly generated - ex: goofy_kapitsa ❯ docker run myapp:v1.0.0 Command to run a container Image name and tag
16. How to run a container? ❯ docker run –ti -p 8080:80 --name myapp myapp:v1.0.0 Run in interactive mode and with a tty Link container port 80 to host port 8080 Give the name myapp to the container
17. How to run a container? ❯ docker run –d -p 8080:80 --name myapp myapp:v1.0.0 Run container in background ❯ docker run –ti –p 8080:80 --name myapp --rm myapp:v1.0.0 bash Automatically remove the container when stopped Change the default command (CMD)
18. Summary
19. Docker Engine • Client-Server application for managing • Images • Containers • Networks • Volumes • Has a REST API and a CLI
20. Volume • Keep data outside the container • Share data with host This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC
21. Share folder/files between host and container ❯ docker run -ti --rm -v `pwd`/mydir:/data ubuntu Command for using a volume Local directory on host Directory in the container Be careful when mounting a file! Changes to file may not be reflected in container Ex: sed, vim, VS Code
22. Using a volume ❯ docker volume create mydata ❯ docker run -ti --rm -v mydata:/data ubuntu Command to manage volume Volume name Volume name instead of a path
23. Network • Allows you to: • create isolated network • Reproduce production network topology • Container can communicate with each other using by name, id or alias • Many network type/driver available: • Bridge (default) • Internal • None • Host
24. Internal network ❯ docker network create --internal intnet ❯ docker run --network intnet curlimages/curl -m3 https://google.com ╰─❯ curl: (28) Resolving timed out after 3002 milliseconds Command to manage networks Network type Network name Attach the container to the intent network
25. Intra-container communication ❯ docker network create --driver bridge mynet ❯ docker run -d --network mynet --name nginx --network-alias web nginx ❯ docker run --rm --network mynet curlimages/curl -m3 http://web Use a specific network driver Adds an alias to the container in networks it is connected Container name or ID also works
26. Other useful network ❯ docker run --rm --network none curl -m3 https://google.com ❯ docker run –d --network host nginx No network isolation between host and container Without network
27. Docker Compose
28. Let’s build a docker compose file DEPRECATED - No more used Services definition Networks definition Volumes definition
29. Let’s build a docker compose file Service name and its name on the network Container image If the container crash, docker will restart it List of volumes to attach to the container List of environment variables List of networks to attach to the container
30. Let’s build a docker compose file Override default image command You can attach a volume to a directory in another volume Definition for building the image Create a dependency on another service List of port to link to the host
31. Let’s build a docker compose file On a separate network from the database
32. How to use a compose file? ❯ docker compose ps -a List the containers created by compose Including those stopped ❯ docker compose logs -f [name of service(s)] Show logs And show new logs as they come ❯ docker compose up –d [name of service(s)] Command for compose Start service(s) In background
33. Registry Docker • Hosts Docker Images • Many online registry available: • Docker Hub • Azure ACR • AWS ECR • Github Registry • … • Many self-hosted solutions: • Docker Registry • Nexus • Artifactory • …
34. Useful commands ❯ docker login / docker login kumojin.azurecr.io Connect Docker to a registry Pull an image locally Push a local image to a registry ❯ docker push jmaitrehenry/myimage ❯ docker pull kumojin.azurecr.io/myapp/api:v1.0.0 Connect to a specific registry
35. Orchestration • For what? • Orchestration tools • Cloud solutions
36. For what? • Container supply and placement • Health check mechanism and metrics • Unavailability and scalability management • Deployment management • Service discovery and network management • And more!
37. Orchestration tools
38. Cloud Solutions • Kubernetes based • Azure: AKS • AWS: EKS • Google: GKE • Container based • Azure ACI • AWS Fargate • AWS ECS
39. Docker Desktop What is it? For what?
40. Questions?
