Overview of this book

<p>Docker is a great tool in many ways for developers and people in DevOps.</p> <p>We begin by learning how easy it is to create and publish your own customized Docker images and making them available to everyone. We also see how practical it is to separate every service to its own container. When you have published separated service containers, the process of running all kinds of platforms in the same server for easier cloud computing is a walk in the park.</p> <p>This book walks you through a use case project that will teach you how to customize and create your own Docker image, allowing you to run any platform you want. The project evolves throughout the book and emerges as a complete three containers Wordpress/MySQL platform when finished.</p> <p>By the end of the book, you will know how to create such a container on a Wordpress/MySQL platform, among others.</p>

Chapter 1. Installing Docker

In this chapter, we will find out where to download and how to install Docker on various operating systems. Some basic Docker commands will be used so that we can verify whether the installation was successful and to interact with Docker for the very first time.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

  • What is Docker?

  • Docker on Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 LTS

  • Docker on Mac OS X

  • Docker on Windows

  • Docker on Amazon EC2

This book will take you through all the steps, from installing Docker to running your own Platform as a Service (PaaS) so that you can push your code without having to think about infrastructure or server provisioning.

The theme of this book will be to create a modular web application using an isolated web server and a database.
