Docker on Windows

Overview of this book

Docker is a platform for running server applications in lightweight units called containers. You can run Docker on Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10, and run your existing apps in containers to get significant improvements in efficiency, security, and portability. This book teaches you all you need to know about Docker on Windows, from 101 to deploying highly-available workloads in production. This book takes you on a Docker journey, starting with the key concepts and simple examples of how to run .NET Framework and .NET Core apps in Windows Docker containers. Then it moves on to more complex examples—using Docker to modernize the architecture and development of traditional ASP.NET and SQL Server apps. The examples show you how to break up monoliths into distributed apps and deploy them to a clustered environment in the cloud, using the exact same artifacts you use to run them locally. To help you move confidently to production, it then explains Docker security, and the management and support options. The book finishes with guidance on getting started with Docker in your own projects, together with some real-world case studies for Docker implementations, from small-scale on-premises apps to very large-scale apps running on Azure.

Pushing and pulling images with a local registry

You can only push images to a registry if the image tag matches the registry domain. The process for tagging and pushing is the same as with Docker Hub, but you need to explicitly include the local registry domain in the new tag. These commands pull the registry server image from Docker Hub and add a new tag, making it suitable to be pushed to the local registry:

docker image pull dockeronwindows/ch04-registry

docker image tag dockeronwindows/ch04-registry registry.local:5000/infrastructure/registry:v2.6.1

In the docker image tag command, you can change every part of the image name for the new tag. I've used the following:

  • registry.local:5000 the registry domain. The original image name had an implied domain of docker.io.
  • infrastructure the account name. The original account name was dockeronwindows.
  • registry the repository name. The original was ch04-registry.
  • v2.6.1 the image tag. The original implied tag was latest.

I can try to push the new...
