In continuation of my previous blog on 2. DevOps: How to install Docker 17.03.0 community edition and start working with it on Ubuntu 16.x VM [https://vskumar.blog/2017/11/25/2-devops-how-to-install-docker-17-03-0-community-edition-and-start-working-with-it-on-ubuntu-16-x-vm/], in this blog I would like to cover the lab practice on Docker containers.
Assuming you have the same setup as we did in the previous lab session,
using the below subcommand, you can view the current image hello-world
$docker history hello-world
You can run this image and see:
======================>
vskumar@ubuntu:~$ sudo docker history hello-world
[sudo] password for vskumar:

Now, let us work on the Docker images operations:
In the previous session, we demonstrated the typical Hello World example using the
hello-world image.
you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ sudo docker run -it ubuntu bash
you can run an Ubuntu container with:
======= We are in Docker container =====>
vskumar@ubuntu:~$ sudo docker run -it ubuntu bash
root@10ffea6140f9:/#

Now, let us apply some Linux commands as below:
==================>

==================================>
WE have seen this container like a Linux machine only.
Now, to come out into Docker use ‘exit’ command.
====================>
root@10ffea6140f9:/var/log#
root@10ffea6140f9:/var/log# exit
exit

======================>
It means earlier when we run the command ‘$ sudo docker run -it ubuntu bash’ it went into terminal interactive mode of unbuntu container. When we applied ‘exit’ it came out from that container to ‘docker’ . Now through docker we have seen the list of docker images.
So, we have seen from the above session the container usage and the docker images.
Now, let us check the docker services status as below:
$sudo services docker status
vskumar@ubuntu:/var/tmp$ sudo service docker status
================================>
● docker.service – Docker Application Container Engine

================================>
Now, we will stop this session at this point in the next block we will learn how to download public docker image and work with images and containers.
