Overview of this book

Docker is an open source tool used for creating, deploying, and running applications using containers. With more than 100 self-contained tutorials, this book examines common pain points and best practices for developers building distributed applications with Docker. Each recipe in this book addresses a specific problem and offers a proven, best practice solution with insights into how it works, so that you can modify the code and configuration files to suit your needs. The Docker Cookbook begins by guiding you in setting up Docker in different environments and explains how to work with its containers and images. You’ll understand Docker orchestration, networking, security, and hosting platforms for effective collaboration and efficient deployment. The book also covers tips and tricks and new Docker features that support a range of other cloud offerings. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to package and deploy end-to-end distributed applications with Docker and be well-versed with best practice solutions for common development problems.

Performing CI/CD with Shippable and Heroku

In the preceding recipe, we saw an example of how Docker can be used for testing in a local Dev and QA environment. Let's look at an end-to-end example to see how Docker is now used in CI/CD environments. In this recipe, we'll see how we can use Shippable (https://www.shippable.com) to perform CI/CD and deploy it on Heroku (https://www.heroku.com).

Shippable is a SaaS platform that lets you easily add Continuous Integration/Deployment to your GitHub and Bitbucket (Git) repositories, and is completely built on Docker. Shippable uses build minions, which are Docker-based containers, to run workloads. Shippable supports many languages, such as Ruby, Python, Node.js, Java, Scala, PHP, Go, and Clojure. The default build minions are of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04. They have also added support to use custom images from Docker...
