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.

Preface

Official documentation


It's hard not to recommend the official Docker documentation, which is of very high quality. You will find it at https://docs.docker.com. There is a lot of information here, starting from installing Docker on various platforms and going through pulling images, creating Dockerfiles, building images, and publishing them into the remote Registry. It's a great resource for refreshing the Docker knowledge you already have, but you will also find here a lot of information which was not mentioned in this book. This includes, for example:

  • Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With this tool you can use a single Compose file to configure your application's services. Then, using a single command, you can create and start all the services from your configuration.

  • Universal Control Plane is the enterprise-grade (you can install it behind your own firewall) cluster management solution from Docker. It helps you manage your whole cluster from a single interface.

  • Docker Trusted Registry is an enterprise-grade image storage solution from Docker--a secure place to store and manage the Docker images you use.

  • The Docker Store, which is the place to find the best-trusted commercial and free software distributed as Docker Images.
