Docker intro

This is just a minimal introduction to Docker. The goal is to jump-start moving forward from research to production. Docker containers establish a very lightweight virtualization solution that may support the reproducibility and portability of ML model development and deployment.

Instructions

  1. Install the Docker Engine.

    • On Linux distributions adopting the systemd service manager, which is the majority, one may then need to start Docker by running sudo systemctl start docker.
    • Try sudo -i or, better yet, sudo -s, if you find continuous sudo-ing annoying. At the very least, the commands below have to be run with root privileges.
    • You may want to familiarize yourself with some Docker commands, for example by consulting docker help.

  2. Make sure that everything works properly:

    docker run hello-world

  3. Build an image from the shipped dockerfile:

    docker build -t my-image .

  4. Create and run a container from the image:

    docker run -p 8888:8888 my-image
