Play with Docker 1 5 min

Pre-requisite​

  • Create an account with DockerHub

Assignment

  • Create a docker-compose.yml with custom image

  • List out the images used by the containers

Create a docker-compose.yml with custom image​

Setup environment​

$ mkdir -p docker-compose/build
$ cd docker-compose/build

Now lets create the Dockerfile​

FROM nginx:alpine
RUN echo "Welcome to Docker Workshop!" >/usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

Create a docker-compose.yml file​

version: "3.7"
services:
  webserver:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    image: webapp:v1
    container_name: Nginx
    ports:
      - "80:80"
  dbserver:
     image: mysql:5.7
     container_name: Mysqldb
     restart: unless-stopped
     ports:
       - "3306:3306"
     environment:
       MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: Pa$$w0rd
       MYSQL_USER: test
       MYSQL_PASSWORD: Pa$$w0rd123
       MYSQL_DATABASE: test 
     volumes:
       - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
  db_data:

Bringup the containers​

$ docker-compose up -d

NOTE: This will build the images and bringup the containers. -d option which will run the container in background.

List out the images used by the containers​

$  docker-compose images
Container   Repository   Tag     Image Id      Size  
-----------------------------------------------------
Mysqldb     mysql        5.7   383867b75fd2   356 MB 
Nginx       webapp       v1    3454fa918c0d   20.2 MB

mysql is the one used for dbserver and webapp:v1 is the custome image used for webserver.
