Docker is used primarily for creating, deploying, and running applications using containers, which provide a lightweight way to package software and its dependencies.
The docker ps command is used to list all the running Docker containers. Use docker ps -a to list all containers, including those that are stopped.
A Dockerfile is a text file that contains all the commands needed to assemble an image. It includes instructions like FROM, RUN, COPY to build a custom image.
Docker uses namespaces for isolating resources and control groups (cgroups) for resource management across containers, sharing the same OS kernel.
Docker Trusted Registry is a private registry for storing and managing Docker images securely within an organization.
FROM is the command used in Dockerfile to specify the base image for subsequent instructions. It is usually the first command in the Dockerfile.
The docker build command is used to create a Docker image from a Dockerfile. It builds images automatically by reading the instructions from a Dockerfile.
The docker rmi command is used to remove one or more Docker images from the local image repository.
Docker networking provides an abstraction to allow containers to communicate with each other, host, and external networks.
The docker run -d command is used to start a container in detached mode, running it in the background without attaching it to the terminal.
Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed for managing complex containerized applications across a cluster of machines and to provide basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
The docker logs command is used to fetch the logs of a running or stopped container, providing insight into what is happening inside the container.
Docker Compose is a tool used for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It uses a YAML file to configure the application’s services.
The docker stop command is used to stop a running container by sending a SIGTERM signal, which allows for a graceful shutdown of the processes inside the container.
