Build Your Own PaaS with Docker

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>

Summary


In this chapter, we learned that Docker can be used on most operating systems and that the installation process varies a lot depending on the OS. We had our first interaction with the Docker daemon and launched our first container in Docker. Even though all the container did was write a command, that's how easy it is to start and run something inside a guest operating system.

We have also introduced the theme that shows what this book is all about, running a multicontainer web app of a web server container and a MySQL container: your own PaaS.

In the next chapter, we will further explore Docker, its terminology, and the community around it.
