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, you learned quite a lot. The most part was about modifying the Dockerfile and ENTRYPOINT files in order to get the Docker image that we wanted. Bash knowledge and programming skills are very convenient, but since all of this is mostly about installation, moving files, and editing settings files, very basic knowledge can be enough.

GitHub is an excellent place to host your Docker repositories, and it's very easy to set up a new repository to get started. The Docker Registry Hub takes your GitHub repository and lets you pick a branch. This branch will be the source for a public Docker image that anyone can pull and use.

One question arises though; what about our data? It's trapped inside these MySQL and WordPress containers. The next chapter will show you how to handle your data.
