Docker install and basic commands

 


This blog has been a long time coming. I've been quite busy work-wise and hiding from Covid so hard to find quiet time to add these videos. 

Apologies. 

This video is around the setup and basic use of Docker in Linux. Running Docker in Linux is honestly the most ideal case, regardless of whether this a production workload or just for testing / development like on Workstation. 

Key commands we go over:

- run - create and start a new container
- start - start an existing container
- stop  - stop an existing container
- exec - interact with a running container
- rm  - remove an existing and undesired container
- ps - view all running containers
- ps -a - view all existing containers

There are a ton of other commands, but based on what I do to initialize some packaged solutions or existing LAMP stack these tools are fine for managing Docker. 

To get more information about how to use Docker / Podman commands to create a LAMP stack without docker-compose (previous video), please check out this blog.

I hope this is useful, and feel free to comment. 

*Note* please excuse the typo in bionic at around minute 4:30 or so. Binonic is obviously not right :).
