Overview of this book

Docker is an open source containerization engine that offers a simple and faster way for developing and running software. Docker containers wrap software in a complete filesystem that contains everything it needs to run, enabling any application to be run anywhere – this flexibily and portabily means that you can run apps in the cloud, on virtual machines, or on dedicated servers. This book will give you a tour of the new features of Docker and help you get started with Docker by building and deploying a simple application. It will walk you through the commands required to manage Docker images and containers. You’ll be shown how to download new images, run containers, list the containers running on the Docker host, and kill them. You’ll learn how to leverage Docker’s volumes feature to share data between the Docker host and its containers – this data management feature is also useful for persistent data. This book also covers how to orchestrate containers using Docker compose, debug containers, and secure containers using the AppArmor and SELinux security modules.

Organizations and teams on Docker Hub

One of the useful aspects of private repositories is that you can share them only with members of your organization or team. Docker Hub lets you create organizations, where you can collaborate with your colleagues and manage private repositories. You will learn how to create and manage an organization next.

The first step is to create an organization on Docker Hub at https://hub.docker.com/organizations/add/, as shown in the following screenshot:

Inside your organization, you can add more organizations, and then add members to it:

The members of your organization and group can collaborate with the organization and teams. This feature will be more useful in the case of a private repository.
