Docker Book

Notes for upcoming book on Docker

Installing Docker

• Point to instructions on Docker website, no point in duplicating these
• Make sure you are running the latest version

Hello World

• docker run --rm hello-world
• Include example output for checking
• Explain use of --rm flag - without this we end up with lots of stopped but not removed images

Basic PHP example

• docker run --rm php:7.4-apache-buster

Dockerfile:

 FROM php:7.4-apache-buster
 COPY index.php /var/www/html/index.php

index.php:

 <?php phpinfo();
