Where container images come from
When we talk about running container it’s important to understand the difference between images and containers.
Build an image using a Dockerfile
The first step in building a new image is to decide on the base image. Containers don’t run their own Linux kernel but everything else is in the image: system libraries and utilities, runtimes, etc. Everyone is free to choose an existing base image, or even build a new one. Here are few most popular images:
How to run a command in the image
Often it is important to run a command while building an image, to do so call RUN <command> or RUN ["executable", "param1", "param2"]. This will run a sequence of commands in a container which is used to build the new image. I.e. in this example:
How to define container startUP COMMANDS
When you build an executable image it’s important to define which command will be executed when a container based on the image starts. Docker provides 2 ways to define that:
How to expose ports
Often, applications need to listen for requests over TCP or UDP sockets. Containers don’t accept inbound communication by default; all ports are locked inside of a container, even if an application binds to 0.0.0.0:<some port>. To enable inbound communication to your application the port needs to be exposed.
How to set default user
Containers carry multiple features to sandbox and isolate applications running in a container from a host machine, but it’s always possible to make mistakes and allow access from a container to critical resources on the host.
