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 went all the way to create our own PaaS by adding deployment to the process. What we looked into up to this chapter was all about organizing containers and direct incoming traffic so that visitors can reach the correct container.

With Dokku, we don't have to worry about that; all we have to care about is our code. As soon as we push our code, Dokku takes over and does the right things. Dokku makes it look really easy and that is why, I started from manually creating and linking containers and configuring reverse proxies—so that you would understand what Dokku does.

The next chapter takes us to the bleeding edge: what's being developed right now that can take private PaaS with Docker one step further?
