Overview of this book

Docker containers have revolutionized the software supply chain in small and big enterprises. Never before has a new technology so rapidly penetrated the top 500 enterprises worldwide. Companies that embrace containers and containerize their traditional mission-critical applications have reported savings of at least 50% in total maintenance cost and a reduction of 90% (or more) of the time required to deploy new versions of those applications. Furthermore they are benefitting from increased security just by using containers as opposed to running applications outside containers. This book starts from scratch, introducing you to Docker fundamentals and setting up an environment to work with it. Then we delve into concepts such as Docker containers, Docker images, Docker Compose, and so on. We will also cover the concepts of deployment, orchestration, networking, and security. Furthermore, we explain Docker functionalities on public clouds such as AWS. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience working with Docker containers and orchestrators such as SwarmKit and Kubernetes.

Building and pushing an application


We can also use the docker-compose build command to just build the images of an application defined in the underlying compose file. But to make this work, we'll have to add the build information to the docker-compose file. In the folder, we have a file, docker-compose.dev.yml, which has those instructions already added:

version: "3.5"
services:
  web:
    build: web
    image: fundamentalsofdocker/ch08-web:1.0
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
  db:
    build: database
    image: fundamentalsofdocker/ch08-db:1.0
    volumes:
      - pets-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

volumes:
  pets-data:

Please note the build key for each service. The value of that key indicates the context or folder where Docker is expecting to find the Dockerfile to build the corresponding image.

Let's use that file now:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml build

The -f parameter will tell the Docker Compose application which compose file to use.

To push all images to Docker Hub, we can...
