Hello, code wizards! 🧙♂️ Let's dive into the magical world of Docker today. In my day-to-day as a Senior Full Stack developer, Docker has been an indispensable ally. Keep up with me, and we'll get you started with Docker in no time.
Step 1: Installation 🔧
We can't kick things off without installing Docker on your machine, can we? Here's a quick way to install Docker on a Linux-based system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
For the Windows and Mac lovers out there, don't worry, we got you covered! 😄 You can download Docker Desktop from the official Docker website.
Step 2: Let's Spin Up a Docker Container 🌪️
Installed Docker? ✅ Great job! Let's put it to use now by running a Docker container. You can perceive a container as a small, standalone, executable software package that encompasses everything necessary to run it.
Pull and run the hello-world Docker container just like this:
docker run hello-world
This command pulls the hello-world image from Docker Hub and runs it as a container.
Wait, what's Docker Hub? 🤔 It's the cloud repository where Docker users and partners create, test, store, and distribute container images. You can search through and use a multitude of pre-configured containers here!
If you want to see a list of all running containers, you can use the command:
docker ps
And that's it! You've installed Docker and managed to run your first Docker Container. Congratulations. 🎉
Remember, as fast as technology keeps evolving, the links in the blog may not remain updated. So don't forget to look up for the latest instructions and manuals. Keep learning, keep growing! 🚀
Refer to Docker's official documentation for more in-depth knowledge.
Happy Coding! 💻
