Deployment repo Deploying a Docker container from a Dockerfile involves a few steps:
-
Building the Docker Image: This step creates a Docker image from your Dockerfile. This image contains all the layers, software, and configurations specified in the Dockerfile.
-
Running the Docker Container: After building the image, you can run it to create a container. This is the actual running instance of your Docker image.
Here's how you can do it:
Navigate to the directory containing the Dockerfile and run:
docker build -t c2exmachina .
After successfully building the image, you can run a container from it using:
docker run -d c2exmachina
Depending on your Dockerfile and the application inside it, you might want to map ports, bind-mount volumes, or set environment variables. For example, if your Dockerfile exposes port 80, you could run:
docker run -d -p 8080:80 c2exmachina
This would map port 8080 on the host to port 80 on the container.
now you rock-it!
