The Practical Guide to Running Docker on Linux Systems or Cloud
Environments
Whether on your laptop or a remote cloud, Docker can transform how you
create, test, deploy, and manage your most critical applications. In
Doc ker Containers, Christopher Negus helps you master Docker
containerization from the ground up.
You'll start out running a few Docker container images in Ubuntu,
Fedora, RHEL, CoreOS, or Project Atomic. By the time you've finished,
you'll be deploying enterprise-quality, multi-container Kubernetes
setups in modern Linux and cloud environments.
Writing for system administrators, software developers, and technology
enthusiasts, Negus touches on every aspect of working with Docker:
setting up containerized applications, working with both individual and
multiple containers, running containers in cloud environments, and
developing containers.
Teaching through realistic examples of desktop applications, system
services, and games, Negus guides you through building and deploying
your own Dockerized applications. As you build your expertise, you'll
also learn indispensable Docker best practices for building and
integrating containers, managing Docker on a day-to-day basis, and much
more:
- Understanding what Docker is and what you can do with it
- Installing Docker on standard Linux or specialized container operating
systems such as Atomic Host and CoreOS
- Setting up a container runtime environment and private Docker
Registry
- Creating, running, and investigating Docker images and containers
- Finding, pulling, saving, loading, and tagging container images
- Pulling and pushing containers between local systems and Docker
Registries
- Integrating Docker containers with host networking and storage
- Building containers with the docker build command and Dockerfile
files
- Minimizing space consumption and erasing unneeded containers
- Accessing special host privileges from within a container
- Orchestrating multiple containers into complex applications with
Kubernetes
- Using super privileged containers in cloud environments
- Managing containers in the cloud with Cockpit
- Getting started with Docker container development
- Learning container build techniques from shared Dockerfiles
