Boilerplate for Docker Compose which solves common use-case problems. See snippets.md for some useful code that you can use in Dockerfiles. To install Docker, see docker installation guide.
This project contains 5 Docker containers: alpine, centos, debian, fedora and ubuntu.
You can run them one-by-one or all at once and start playing and tinkering with them.
Initialize the project (Linux only):
./init-docker.sh
Run (ubuntu) container
docker-compose up -d ubuntu
Shell into (ubuntu) container
docker-compose exec ubuntu bash
Start tinkering with the container!
echo "Hello, I am $(uname -n) container :]"
Beware: The directory of this project is mapped into the working directory of the container! Pay attention not do delete or break your own files.
All changes that you do in the containers are irreversibly lost once you remove containers. To keep them persistent, you need to edit the Dockerfile that is stored in a directory named by the Linux distribution.
After you change the Dockerfile, you need to rebuild and (re)start the container by:
docker-compose up --build -d ubuntu
Run single container
docker-compose up -d ubuntu
Run all containers
docker-compose up -d
Shell into running container
docker-compose exec ubuntu bash
Shell into container as root
docker-compose exec -u root ubuntu bash
Stop single container
docker-compose stop ubuntu
Stop all containers
docker-compose stop
Remove single container
docker-compose down ubuntu
Remove all containers
docker-compose down
Build all containers
docker-compose build
Rebuild all containers
docker-compose build --no-cache --pull
Watch logs of single container
docker-compose logs -f ubuntu
