Installing Docker on Ubuntu

First of all, a quick overview of Docker.

 

 

The definition of Docker from Wikipedia:

 

 

Docker is a set of platform as a service (PaaS) products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels. Because all of the containers share the services of a single operating system kernel, they use fewer resources than virtual machines.

 

 

Docker is a container virtualization system used to separate processes and applications from other processes running on the same physical machine.

 

A container is simply another process on a machine that has been isolated from all other processes on the host machine. This isolation methodology utilizes kernel namespaces and cgroups, features that have been present in Linux for a long time.

 

 

What is a container image?

 

When running a container, it uses an isolated filesystem. This custom filesystem is provided by a container image. Since the image contains the container’s filesystem, it must contain everything needed to run an application – all dependencies, configuration, scripts, binaries, etc.

 

The image also contains other configuration for the container, such as environment variables, a default command to run, and other metadata.

 

 

Docker uses a client-server architecture. The Docker client talks to the Docker daemon, which builds, runs, and distributes your Docker containers.

 

The Docker client and daemon can run on the same system, or you can connect a Docker client to a remote Docker daemon running on anóther server.

 

The Docker client and daemon can communicate using a REST API, via UNIX sockets, or via a network interface.

 

Docker Compose is a special type of Docker client that lets you work with applications consisting of a set of containers.

 

 

The Docker daemon

 

The Docker daemon (dockerd) listens for Docker API requests and manages the Docker objects such as images, containers, networks, and volumes.

 

The dockerd daemon can also communicate with other daemons to manage Docker services.

 

root@asus:~# ps -ef | grep dockerd
root 877 1 0 13:01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// –containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock
root 3196 2308 0 13:05 pts/0 00:00:00 grep –color=auto dockerd
root@asus:~#

 

 

 

The Docker client

 

The Docker client (docker) is the main way Docker users interact with Docker.

 

Docker commands such as docker run are sent by the docker client to dockerd, which executes them. The docker command uses the Docker API. The Docker client can communicate with more than one daemon.

 

 

Docker Hub Registry

 

The Docker Hub registry is a public registry which stores Docker images that anyone can use.

 

Docker is configured to search for and pull images from Docker Hub by default.

 

However, you can also run your own private Docker registry.

 

When you use the docker pull or docker run commands, the required images are pulled from the registry you have specified in your configuration.

 

And when you use the docker push command, your image is pushed to your configured registry.

 

 

Docker objects

 

When you use Docker, you are creating and using images, containers, networks, volumes, plugins, and other objects.

 

Images

 

An image is a read-only template with instructions for creating a Docker container.

 

An image can also be based on another image, with additional customization. For example, you may build an image based on the ubuntu image, but which installs the Apache web server and also your own web application, as well as the configuration details needed to make your application run correctly.

 

You might create your own images or you might only use those created by others and published in a registry.

 

To build your own image, you create a Dockerfile which defines the steps needed to create the image and run it.

 

Each instruction in a Dockerfile creates a layer in the image.

 

When you change the Dockerfile and rebuild the image, only those layers which have changed are rebuilt.

 

This methodology enables Docker images to be lightweight, small, and fast, compared to other virtualization technologies.

 

Containers

 

A container is a runnable instance of an image.

 

You can create, start, stop, move, or delete a container using the Docker API or CLI.

 

You can connect a container to one or more networks, attach it to storage, or even create a new image based on its current state.

 

By default, a container is isolated from other containers and from its host machine.

 

You can specify the level of isolation from a container’s network, storage, or other underlying subsystems, from other containers or from the host machine.

 

A container is defined by its image as well as any configuration options you specify when you create or start it.

 

Note that when a container is removed, any changes to its state that are not stored in persistent storage will disappear.

 

 

Example docker run command

 

The following command runs a Linux Ubuntu container, then attaches interactively to your local command-line session, and then runs a /bin/bash shell.

 

$ docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

 

When you run this command, this is what happens:

 

If the ubuntu image is not already locally present, Docker pulls it from your configured registry, as though you had run docker pull ubuntu manually.

 

Docker then creates a new container, as though you had run a manual docker container create command.

 

Docker allocates a read-write filesystem to the container, as its final layer.

 

This allows a running container to create or modify files and directories in its local filesystem.

 

Docker then creates a network interface to connect the container to the default network, since you did not specify any networking options. This includes assigning an IP address to the container.

 

By default, containers can connect to external networks using the host machine’s network connection.

 

Next, Docker starts the container and executes /bin/bash.

 

Because the container is running interactively and attached to your terminal (due to the -i and -t flags), you can provide input using your keyboard while the output is logged to your terminal.

 

When you type exit to terminate the /bin/bash command, the container stops but is not removed. You can start it again or remove it.

 

 

You can obtain Docker from the standard Ubuntu 20.04 repositories, but the version may not always be the latest or the one you want.

 

 

The procedure for installing Docker

 

The steps are:

 

update the system packages index
enable the Docker repository
import the repository GPG key
then install the package.

 

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common

To prevent the Docker package from being updated, mark it as held back:

 

sudo apt-mark hold docker-ce

 

 

To execute Docker Commands as a Non-Root User:

 

By default, only root and user with sudo privileges can execute Docker commands.

 

To execute Docker commands as non-root user, add the user to the docker group that was created during the installation of the Docker CE package:

 

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

 

root@asus:~#
root@asus:~# usermod -aG docker kevin
root@asus:~#
root@asus:~#
root@asus:~# usermod -aG docker root
root@asus:~#

 

 

Log out and log back in to refresh the group membership.

 

 

To verify Docker is successfully installed and that you can execute docker commands, run a test container:

 

docker container run hello-world

This command downloads the test image, if it is not found locally, then runs it in a container, which prints a “Hello from Docker” message, and then exits:

 

root@asus:/home/kevin# docker container run hello-world
Unable to find image ‘hello-world:latest’ locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
b8dfde127a29: Pulling fs layer
b8dfde127a29: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:9f6ad537c5132bcce57f7a0a20e317228d382c3cd61edae14650eec68b2b345c
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest

 

Hello from Docker!

 

This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

 

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the “hello-world” image from the Docker Hub.
(amd64)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.

 

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash

 

Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker ID:
https://hub.docker.com/

 

For more examples and ideas, visit:
https://docs.docker.com/get-started/

 

root@asus:/home/kevin#

 

 

Note the container will stop after printing the message because it does not contain a long-running process.

 

By default, Docker always pulls images from the Docker Hub. This is a cloud-based registry which stores Docker images in public or private repositories.

you are now inside a docker container!

 

 

Uninstalling Docker

 

Before uninstalling Docker you should first remove all containers, images, volumes, and docker networks.

 

Run the following commands to stop all running containers and remove all docker objects:

 

docker container stop $(docker container ls -aq)

 

docker system prune -a –volumes

 

You can now uninstall Docker as any other package installed with apt:

 

sudo apt purge docker-ce
sudo apt autoremove

 

 

 

Using Docker Images to Deploy Containers

 

Docker images are templates containing instructions and specifications for creating a container.

 

To use Docker, you need to obtain an image or else create your own by building a dockerfile.

 

Listing Images

 

To list all the docker images on your system, use:

 

docker images

 

root@asus:~# docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
ubuntu latest 9873176a8ff5 12 days ago 72.7MB
hello-world latest d1165f221234 3 months ago 13.3kB
root@asus:~#

 

 

Finding an Image

 

Images are stored on Docker registries, such as Docker Hub (Docker’s official registry).

 

You can browse the images on the registry or use the following command to search the Docker registry.

 

Replace [keyword] with the keyword you are searching for, such as nginx or apache.

 

docker search [keyword]

Starting a Container

 

To start a Docker container use:

 

docker start [ID]

replacing [ID] with the container ID corresponding with the container you want to start.

 

Stopping a Container

 

To stop a Docker container, replace [ID] with the container ID corresponding with the container you wish to stop:

 

docker stop [ID]

 

 

 

Removing a Container

 

To remove a Docker container, replace [ID] with the container ID corresponding with the container you wish to remove:

 

docker rm [ID]

 

 

Obtaining an Image

 

Once you find an image, you can download it to your server using the “docker pull” command. Replace [image] with the name of the image you’d like to use:

 

docker pull [image]

 

For instance, to pull the official nginx image:

 

docker pull nginx

 

Running an Image

 

To create a container based on an image, use the “docker run” command. Replace [image] with the name of the image you’d like to use.

 

docker run [image]

 

If the image hasn’t yet been downloaded and is available in the Docker registry, then the image will automatically be pulled to your server.

 

Managing Docker Containers

 

Listing Containers

 

To list all active (and inactive) Docker containers running on your system, run the following command:

 

docker ps -a

 

You should see something like the following:

 

root@asus:~# docker ps -a

The official site for Docker hub is https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/add_ons

browse and find the Jenkins image.

 

then on your host machine enter:

docker pull jenkins/jenkins

(this is the copypasted command from the hub jenkins page)

To run Jenkins, you need to run the following command −

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 jenkins/jenkins

 

Note the following points about the above sudo command −

We are using the sudo command to ensure it runs with root access.

Here, jenkins/jenkins is the name of the image we want to download from Docker hub and install on our Ubuntu machine.

-p is used to map the port number of the internal Docker image to our main Ubuntu server so that we can access the container accordingly.

 

You will then have Jenkins successfully running as a container on the Ubuntu machine.
