Overview of this book

<p>Docker allows you to create a robust and resilient environment to generate portable, composable, scalable, and stable application containers.</p> <p>The book starts by installing the core Docker Engine on MacOS, Windows 10 and Linux desktops. We will then define multi-container applications and understand the advantages of using containers locally. Once this is done, we will deploy containers on a single Docker host which is publicly accessible. Furthermore, we will learn how to deploy and configure a Docker Swarm cluster and explore networking and storage third-party plugins to extend the core Docker functionality. Towards the end, the book will demonstrate how to monitor and troubleshoot day-to-day problems in addition to various real world examples of container deployments.</p>

Docker Compose

If you were following along with the Linux installation in Chapter 1, Installing Docker Locally then you should have already installed Docker Compose manually, for those of you that skipped that part then you will glad to know that Docker Compose is installed and maintained as part of Docker for Mac and Windows.

I am sure that you will agree that so far Docker has proved to be quite intuitive, Docker Compose is no different. It started off life as third-party software called Fig and was written by Orchard Labs (the project's original website is still available at http://fig.sh/).

The original project's goal was the following:

"Provide fast, isolated development environments using Docker"

Since Orchard Labs became part of Docker, they haven't strayed too far from the original projects goal:

"Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure your application's services.Then, using a single command, you...
