Setting up Docker

On Windows 10

prereqs - HyperV - Containers Docker on Windows 10 install

Windows 2016

Docker can be installed as an app or as a service.  Running it as a service and interacting via powershell and the command line is the preferred production instalaltion

Configuration

The Docker configuration file is how you setup Docker in a Windows environment. Location: C:\ProgramData\Docker\Config\Daemon.json

Images

Images are container templates.  OS and app.  they can be used to build the running container. They are layered upon each other.  It is a single, self contained, file that represents your application.

Docker Images to list images in your private repo.

Docker images and containers end up being stored in the Local Docker Registry. To save the container or image to the local hard drive so it can be shared with others use Docker save with Images and Docker Export with a paused or stopped Container. This doc goes into better detail.

Images are built ontop of a base image.  This base image can either be a black OS image or an image that already has required applications installed (layered).  These images can either be created in-house or downloaded from and online repository such as Docker Hub or the new Docker Store.

Images can be downloaded with the follwoing

Docker Pull <name>

Building Images

Dockerfile

File that contains the commansds used to build an image.  These are the same commands that you would use from the command line.  

DockerFile Reference

Container

A container is a running instance of an image.

Docker Registry

Location where your containers are stored for sharing. Usually Docker Hub but can be installed on your local system or a server

DockerHub

Location images can be stored online.  

Autobuild

Dockerhub can be linked to Github or Bitbucket and triger image builds when the linked repo is updated.  I am currently having problems doing this with a windows container so autobuild may not work with windows containers.

Neverfear.  Found a way to do it with Team City.  https://lostechies.com/gabrielschenker/2016/03/22/ci-with-teamcity-and-docker/

 

Networking

Installing docker on windows creates several new networks.  According to Docker Container Networking, it creates three.  On my Windows 10 environment, I have all three but the Bridged network is named Default Switch.

nat     

bridge (Default Switch) - This is the default network a container will connect.  The also gets connected to this network.  It essentially is the local private network between the host and its containers.

None - The container will not be connected to any network.

Since Docker runs on top of Hyper-V, if you have any Hyper-V virtual switches, those will show up as well.

You can use the docker network ls to show the networks configured on your machine.

To attach to a network, in my case I usually attache to my Hyper-V external network so the container is accessable from external sources, use the docker run --network <Network>

collection of Docker hosts that have been joined together in a cluster.

Creating Docker Containers

Walkthrus for creating various types of containers

 Node JS

JavaScript Runtime https://nodejs.org/en/

     - Download the latest msi from the above link

DockerFile

FROM microsoft/windowsservercore

COPY node-v6.11.4-x64.msi c:/temp

# RUN msiexec.exe /q /i c:\temp\node-v6.11.4-x64.msi

run the container.
