Overview of this book

This fast-paced practical guide will get you up and running with Docker. Using Docker, you will be able to build, ship, and run many distributed applications in real time. You will start with quickly installing Docker and start working with images and containers. We will present different types of containers and their applications, and show you how to find and build images. You will learn how you can contribute to the image repository by publishing different images. This will familiarize you with the image building process and you will be able to successfully run your programs within containers. By finishing this book, you will be well equipped in deploying your applications using Docker and will have a clear understanding of concepts, techniques, and practical methods to get it running in production systems.

Chapter 6. Creating Images

After reading the previous chapters, you should be familiar on how to find images suitable as a base for your own software. You can pull them from the remote repository, run and make changes to them during runtime and then export as new images. We saw building our own image earlier via running a container, installing our software in it, and doing a commit to create the image in Chapter 3, Understanding Images and Containers. This is not very practical and sometimes very cumbersome. Luckily, there's a solution for that. Docker has a scripting engine that we can use to create a new image with a predefined list of instructions and properties. We call these scripts Dockerfiles. This time, we are going to create an image based on a Dockerfile. This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Introduction to Dockerfiles
  • Creating and editing Dockerfiles
  • Dockerfile instructions
  • Building images

Let's understand what a Dockerfile is first. It's nothing...
