Docker is a platform which allows some application and all its dependencies to be packed in a container, shipped within this monolithic bundle and then deployed on any other machine with no fear that some dependency would be missing or not compatible with the new host.
Here are some terms:
host
container
Docker runs processes in isolated containers.
Lifecycle of Docker Container
What is the difference between CMD and ENTRYPOINT in a Dockerfile?
The ENTRYPOINT specifies a command that will always be executed when the container starts.
The CMD specifies arguments that will be fed to the ENTRYPOINT.
This is one of the use cases which shows benefits of multi-staged build:
Docker container running golang http.Client getting error `certificate signed by unknown authority`
FROM scratch
If we use FROM scratch then we can't use/execute bash/sh terminal if we attach to the container from the outside. The lightest image which provides bash terminal is alpine:
FROM alpine
alpine contains /bin/sh so we can use it via
$ docker exec -it <container_name> sh

image
Docker images can consist of multiple layers. Layers can be reused by images. If a layer is downloaded as part of imageA and it is also part of imageB then when we pull/download imageB, this layer will not be downloaded again but will be reused.
- image ID is a SHA256 digest covering the image’s configuration and layers.
Dockerfile
What is the difference between CMD and ENTRYPOINT in a Dockerfile?
The CMD specifies arguments that will be fed to the ENTRYPOINT.
Multi-stage build
This is one of the use cases which shows benefits of multi-staged build:
Docker container running golang http.Client getting error `certificate signed by unknown authority`
---
If we already have app binary built and can simply copy it onto an image but still have to add certificates, Dockerfile can look like:
FROM golang:alpine as build
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates
FROM scratch
COPY --from=build /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /etc/ssl/certs/
COPY ./bin/my_app /my_app
CMD ["/my_app"]
---
FROM scratch
If we use FROM scratch then we can't use/execute bash/sh terminal if we attach to the container from the outside. The lightest image which provides bash terminal is alpine:
FROM alpine
alpine contains /bin/sh so we can use it via
$ docker exec -it <container_name> sh

Example of how to build and run a Docker image:
$ docker build -t jsonschema2db . && docker run jsonschema2db
To execute a command inside a running container, use docker exec. For example, we can run a bash terminal as:
$ docker exec -it my-postgres bash
root@a4a7486fea59:/#
-i // keeps stdin opened
-t // allocates pseudo TTY
In this terminal we can run usual Linux commands as we were inside the container:
root@a4a7486fea59:/# ls
bin boot dev docker-entrypoint-initdb.d docker-entrypoint.sh etc home lib lib64 media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var
root@a4a7486fea59:/# pwd
/
not able to use docker exec shell
Try the alpine tag of image:
$ docker run --name gorush -d appleboy/gorush:alpine
$ docker exec -ti gorush /bin/sh
To list all images:
$ docker image ls
To remove some image:
$ docker image rm image_id
Usage: docker logs [OPTIONS] CONTAINER

Options:
--details Show extra details provided to logs
-f, --follow Follow log output
--since string Show logs since timestamp (e.g. 2013-01-02T13:23:37) or relative (e.g. 42m for 42 minutes)

b9f263f2b517 postgres "some.command…" 9 hours ago Up 5 hours 0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp my_project_postgres_1
To list all containers, use docker ps -a.
docker pull pulls an image from the repository.
Use:
$ docker pull <image_name>:<tag_name>
If no tag is provided, Docker Engine uses the :latest tag as a default.
Apart from pulling some image for the first time, this command is used to pull a new version of the existing image. [Update a docker container to the latest version]
In my case, I have been running pgAdmin4 from within a container but after some time I started getting a popup on pgAdmin4 main web page that I am using the old version of it. My course of actions was:
$ docker images | grep pgadmin

How to upgrade docker container after its image changed
---
docker run = docker create + docker start
A container is an instance of an image and pull only downloads the image, it doesn't create a container.
docker run creates a container from the image you choose.
If you run
$ docker run myImage
...N times, docker ps -a will show N containers based on that image.
Why “Docker run” creates new container every time?
Containers do not modify images. Any changes made to a container you've started via docker run won't affect another container run from the same image
Container process that runs is isolated in that it has its own:

docker run checks if image exists locally and if not it performs docker pull and downloads it from Docker Hub. [1]
Container can be identified by:
Docker can run processes (containers) in one of these two modes:
Use -e option followed by NAME=VALUE like in this example:
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword
Volumes are the preferred mechanism for persisting data generated by and used by Docker containers.
New users should try --mount syntax which is simpler than --volume syntax.
--mount 'type=volume,src=<VOLUME-NAME>,dst=<CONTAINER-PATH>,volume-driver=local,volume-opt=type=nfs...'
Example:
$ docker run --mount type=volume,source=myvol,target=/app ...
Docker Tip #33: Should You Use the Volume or Mount Flag?
BK: I could not make docker run --mount working when having both type=volume and source=`pwd`/myvol (or $(pwd)/myvol, ${pwd}/myvol, "$(pwd)/myvol", "$(pwd)"/myvol...etc...).
Example:
$ docker run --rm -it --mount type=volume,src="$(pwd)/data-vol",target=/go/src/github.com/BojanKomazec/go-demo/data-vol --name go-demo go-demo
docker: Error response from daemon: create /home/bojan/dev/go/src/github.com/BojanKomazec/go-demo/data-vol: "/home/bojan/dev/go/src/github.com/BojanKomazec/go-demo/data-vol" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.
See 'docker run --help'.
This is very likely a consequence of Docker's way of handling volumes: When -v (or -- mount type=volume) is specified Docker will create a new volume in the docker host's /var/lib/docker/volumes/new_volume_name/_data and mount to the container. We can't use an arbitrary absolute path for the volume (the one that includes $(pwd)) if volume has to be in a directory predefined by Docker.
Nevertheless, if we switch to binding local host's arbitrary directory to some container's one then $(pwd) works well.
Example:
$ docker run --rm -it --mount type=bind,src="$(pwd)/data-vol",target=/go/src/github.com/BojanKomazec/go-demo/data-vol --name go-demo go-demo
Our application can pick up target directory via environment variable: we need to add e.g. OUTPUT_DIR=./data-vol to .env file or to docker run -e argument.
If you use docker run and then see that container is not running (e.g. the output of docker container ls shows its status as Exited(1)) check the log of the container:
$ docker inspect <container_name>
In the output json look for LogPath attribute:
"LogPath":"/var/lib/docker/containers/62fdb19e88ded813969915891f6a2dec6a83cb3a28c1054fbdd1e001f033ccf6/62fdb19e88ded813969915891f6a2dec6a83cb3a28c1054fbdd1e001f033ccf6-json.log"
Then see the content of the log file:
$ sudo cat /var/lib/docker/containers/62fdb19e88ded813969915891f6a2dec6a83cb3a28c1054fbdd1e001f033ccf6/62fdb19e88ded813969915891f6a2dec6a83cb3a28c1054fbdd1e001f033ccf6-json.log

To start a container use docker start. In the following example container name is my-postgres:
$ docker start my-postgres
my-postgres
To stop running one or more containers use docker stop:
$ docker stop my_service_postgres_1
my_service_postgres_1

If we try to start some container which requires opening some port on the localhost while another running container has already opened it, we might get the following error:
$ docker-compose up --build
Starting my_app_1 ...
ERROR: for my-app_db_1 Cannot start service db: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint my-app_db_1 (a456b10867b734493c831aa99f227147110f61233652c4984415c12ecdf9a9b3): Bind for 0.0.0.0:5432 failed: port is Starting my-app_my-service_1 ... done

Lifecycle of Docker Container
Hey Docker! Why do you hate Windows so much?
$ docker build -t jsonschema2db . && docker run jsonschema2db
docker exec
To execute a command inside a running container, use docker exec. For example, we can run a bash terminal as:
$ docker exec -it my-postgres bash
root@a4a7486fea59:/#
-i // keeps stdin opened
-t // allocates pseudo TTY
In this terminal we can run usual Linux commands as we were inside the container:
root@a4a7486fea59:/# ls
bin boot dev docker-entrypoint-initdb.d docker-entrypoint.sh etc home lib lib64 media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var
root@a4a7486fea59:/# pwd
/
not able to use docker exec shell
Try the alpine tag of image:
$ docker run --name gorush -d appleboy/gorush:alpine

Use case example:
Running Postgres DB in one container (based on postgres image; container runs in its own network) and connecting to it via pgAdmin which runs in another container (based on dpage/pgadmin4 image).
docker container ls shows that my_app_db_1 is up and running with port mapping as 0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp. This container runs Postgres DB.
To find the name of the network this container is connected to use docker inspect <container_name> and in the output json look for "NetworkSettings" > "Networks". There should be a network name like "my_app_default".
Let's inspect that network:
$ docker network inspect my_app_default

my_app_db_1 is the name of the container which is running db service (Postgres) as I specified in docker-compose.yml.
Now, I want to run pgAdmin DB client (which is also a web server...) from its own container, based on dpage/pgadmin4 image:
$ docker run -p 5051:5051 -d -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=bojan.komazec@example.com" -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=postgres" -e "PGADMIN_LISTEN_PORT=5051" --name pgadmin dpage/pgadmin4
baf9343368f9cb20a0dd9ab1a4763eaf08df03f2ee667f979b4e3466bc20d7b1
We can use docker container ls to verify that this container is now up and running, with port mappings as 80/tcp, 443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5051->5051/tcp. We can now open in browser on the local host the address http://localhost:5051/ which should open pgAdmin login page. If we try to add DB server with IP address 172.19.0.2 (as listed in the postgres container network spec above), connecting to it will fail as pgAdmin runs in its own network. We need to connect pgadmin container to my_app_default network:
$ docker network connect my_app_default pgadmin
We can now use 172.19.0.2 address to connect to DB from pgAdmin web app.
If we again inspect my_app_default network we can verify that there is one more container attached to it: pgadmin.
To avoid issuing two commands, we can specify network container shall connect to in docker run command:
$ docker run -p 5051:5051 -d -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=bojan.komazec@example.com" -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=postgres" -e "PGADMIN_LISTEN_PORT=5051" --network=my_app_default --name pgadmin dpage/pgadmin4
$ docker run -p 5051:5051 -d -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=bojan.komazec@example.com" -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=postgres" -e "PGADMIN_LISTEN_PORT=5051" --network=my_app_default --name pgadmin dpage/pgadmin4

docker ps
To list all running containers use docker ps:
$ docker ps

b9f263f2b517 postgres "some.command…" 9 hours ago Up 5 hours 0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp my_project_postgres_1
If no containers are running:
$ sudo docker ps

$ sudo docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
To list all containers, use docker ps -a.
docker pull
docker pull pulls an image from the repository.
Use:
$ docker pull <image_name>:<tag_name>
If no tag is provided, Docker Engine uses the :latest tag as a default.
Apart from pulling some image for the first time, this command is used to pull a new version of the existing image. [Update a docker container to the latest version]
In my case, I have been running pgAdmin4 from within a container but after some time I started getting a popup on pgAdmin4 main web page that I am using the old version of it. My course of actions was:
$ docker images | grep pgadmin
dpage/pgadmin4 latest c32b95c07a00 5 weeks ago 237MB
$ docker pull dpage/pgadmin4

How to upgrade docker container after its image changed
---
docker run
A container is an instance of an image and pull only downloads the image, it doesn't create a container.
docker run creates a container from the image you choose.
If you run
$ docker run myImage
...N times, docker ps -a will show N containers based on that image.
Why “Docker run” creates new container every time?
Containers do not modify images. Any changes made to a container you've started via docker run won't affect another container run from the same image

- networking
- isolated process tree separate from the host

Pulling the image from Docker Hub
docker run checks if image exists locally and if not it performs docker pull and downloads it from Docker Hub. [1]
Container identification
Container can be identified by:
- UUID
- assigned by the daemon
- can be:
- long
- short
- name
- set by the developer via --name argument
Container Modes (-d)
Docker can run processes (containers) in one of these two modes:
- foreground
- default mode
- console is attached to process' stdin, stdout, stderr
- background (detached)
- -d has to be passed to docker run
- container exits when
- the root process used to run container exits OR
- when daemon exits (if this happens first)
Exposing Ports
If some process in the container is listening on some port and we want to allow connections from outside the container, we can open (expose) these incoming ports via -p option which publishes single port or range of ports to the host. Port number that service listens inside the container does not need to be the same as the port exposed to the host (where external clients connect). These mappings are specified like in these examples:
-p <host_port(s)>:<container_port(s)>/protocol
-p <host_port(s)>:<container_port(s)>/protocol
-p 1234:1234 // single port, all protocols
-p 1234:1234/tcp // allow only TCP protocol
-p 1234-1240:1234-1240 // range
-p 1234-1240:1234-1240/tcp // range, TCP protocol only
-p 127.0.0.1:80:8080/tcp // tcp port 8080 is mapped onto host's port 80
-p 127.0.0.1:80:8080/tcp // tcp port 8080 is mapped onto host's port 80
Environment variables
Use -e option followed by NAME=VALUE like in this example:
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword
Using volumes
Use volumesVolumes are the preferred mechanism for persisting data generated by and used by Docker containers.
New users should try --mount syntax which is simpler than --volume syntax.
--mount 'type=volume,src=<VOLUME-NAME>,dst=<CONTAINER-PATH>,volume-driver=local,volume-opt=type=nfs...'
type - type of the mount, which can be bind, volume, or tmpfs
src - For named volumes, this is the name of the volume. May be specified as source or src. It can be either absolute or relative path.
dst - destination takes as its value the path where the file or directory is mounted in the container; May be specified as destination, dst, or target. It has to be absolute path otherwise an error similar to this is issued:
$ docker run --rm -it --mount type=volume,src=./data-vol-src,target=./data-vol-target --name go-demo go-demo
docker: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "volume": invalid mount path: './data-vol-target' mount path must be absolute.
See 'docker run --help'.
Example:
$ docker run --mount type=volume,source=myvol,target=/app ...
Docker Tip #33: Should You Use the Volume or Mount Flag?
BK: I could not make docker run --mount working when having both type=volume and source=`pwd`/myvol (or $(pwd)/myvol, ${pwd}/myvol, "$(pwd)/myvol", "$(pwd)"/myvol...etc...).
Example:
$ docker run --rm -it --mount type=volume,src="$(pwd)/data-vol",target=/go/src/github.com/BojanKomazec/go-demo/data-vol --name go-demo go-demo
docker: Error response from daemon: create /home/bojan/dev/go/src/github.com/BojanKomazec/go-demo/data-vol: "/home/bojan/dev/go/src/github.com/BojanKomazec/go-demo/data-vol" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.
See 'docker run --help'.
This is very likely a consequence of Docker's way of handling volumes: When -v (or -- mount type=volume) is specified Docker will create a new volume in the docker host's /var/lib/docker/volumes/new_volume_name/_data and mount to the container. We can't use an arbitrary absolute path for the volume (the one that includes $(pwd)) if volume has to be in a directory predefined by Docker.
Nevertheless, if we switch to binding local host's arbitrary directory to some container's one then $(pwd) works well.
Example:
$ docker run --rm -it --mount type=bind,src="$(pwd)/data-vol",target=/go/src/github.com/BojanKomazec/go-demo/data-vol --name go-demo go-demo
Our application can pick up target directory via environment variable: we need to add e.g. OUTPUT_DIR=./data-vol to .env file or to docker run -e argument.
Troubleshooting
If you use docker run and then see that container is not running (e.g. the output of docker container ls shows its status as Exited(1)) check the log of the container:
$ docker inspect <container_name>
In the output json look for LogPath attribute:
"LogPath":"/var/lib/docker/containers/62fdb19e88ded813969915891f6a2dec6a83cb3a28c1054fbdd1e001f033ccf6/62fdb19e88ded813969915891f6a2dec6a83cb3a28c1054fbdd1e001f033ccf6-json.log"
Then see the content of the log file:
$ sudo cat /var/lib/docker/containers/62fdb19e88ded813969915891f6a2dec6a83cb3a28c1054fbdd1e001f033ccf6/62fdb19e88ded813969915891f6a2dec6a83cb3a28c1054fbdd1e001f033ccf6-json.log
{"log":"You need to specify PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL and PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD environment variables\n","stream":"stdout","time":"2019-06-05T10:14:22.078604896Z"}

If we try to start some container which requires opening some port on the localhost while another running container has already opened it, we might get the following error:
$ docker-compose up --build
