#DOCKER CONTAINER TERMINAL HOW TO#

YouвЂ™ll learn how to run Docker containers in the background or foreground, and switch between the two how to publish ports how to connect a database app and a web app running in separate containers and how to share directories between containers and your Mac, and among containers. In this tutorial, youвЂ™ll get comfortable with Docker vocabulary and commands for creating, inspecting and removing containers, networks and data volumes. Basically, to join the ranks of it-works-on-my-machine developers! Containers provide isolation and security like virtual machines, but theyвЂ™re much smaller because they run in the host machineвЂ™s system.ДЄs an iOS developer, why would you want to use Docker? To avoid version problems - to run versions of operating systems, programming languages, database apps, web apps and web servers, machine learning programs - all in isolated environments, to avoid side effects from whatever else youвЂ™ve installed on your Mac. The Lazydocker interface will appear ( Figure 2).Docker is a tool that makes it easy to run applications in containers. With those containers created, issue the command: Copy that ID and then attach the volume with the command: The above command will print out a container ID. Next deploy the container with the command:Дocker run -d -P -name test-container -v ~/container-data:/data nginx Now create a directory to mount the volume to with the command: Now letвЂ™s create a volume and then attach it to a container. Next weвЂ™re going to deploy a MySQL container with the command:Дocker run -name=mysql01 -d mysql/mysql-server:latest First, weвЂ™ll deploy an NGINX container with the command:Дocker run -name docker-nginx -p 8080:80 -d nginx Now that you have Lazydocker installed, letвЂ™s deploy a couple of containers and see how it works. You should see all of the relevant release information for Lazydocker ( Figure 1).ДЇigure 1: Lazydocker has been successfully installed. To verify the installation, run the command: Install the lazydocker binary file with the command: Once downloaded, unpack it with the command: Download that version (assuming your architecture is 64bit) with the command: As of March 13, 2020, the most recent release is 0.8. The first thing to do is visit the Lazydocker release page and see what the latest version the developer has available.

Now that you have both docker and docker-compose installed, itвЂ™s time to install Lazydocker. Sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose How to Install Lazydocker Sudo curl -L '$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)' -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose To do this, issue the following commands: You might also want to install docker-compose. Once youвЂ™ve done that, log out and log back in. If you donвЂ™t do this, the only way you can work with the docker commands is by way of sudo, and thatвЂ™s a security risk. With the service started and enabled, youвЂ™ll then need to add your user to the docker group. Once that command completes, start and enable the docker daemon with the commands: Open a terminal window and issue the command: If thatвЂ™s the case, jump down to the Lazydocker install section. How to Install dockerД«efore you can install Lazydocker, you must first have docker itself installed. IвЂ™ll be demonstrating on Ubuntu Server 18.04, but you should be able to get Lazydocker installed on just about any Linux distribution that supports the docker engine. IвЂ™m going to walk you through the process of doing just that. Lazydocker also allows you to run bulk commands to stop, remove, and prune containers.ДЄnd best of all, Lazydocker is incredibly easy to install and use. Lazydocker allows you view projects, containers, images, volumes, as well as the logs, stats, configs, and top for your running containers. Simply put, Lazydocker is a terminal UI (written in Golang with the gocui library) for the docker and docker-compose commands. Lazydocker was created by Jesse Duffield to help make managing docker containers a bit easier. What do you do? What tool exists in the realm between console and GUI? Say, for example, your docker containers are managed from a headless Linux server, and you donвЂ™t want to have to install a web-based GUI to get more information and easier management of those deployed containers. But then you see one of the many GUIs available and wish you had more, but without having to go the full-on graphical route. With docker, if youвЂ™re comfortable with the command line, you probably feel like you have everything you need to get the most out of those containers. On the other hand, not having the right tools can transform your day into an exercise in frustration. For anyone who manages docker containers, having the right tools can really make an admin session all the better.
