Docker：Containers

Prerequisites

  • Install Docker version 1.13 or higher.
  • Read the orientation in Part 1.

  • Give your environment a quick test run to make sure you’re all set up:

    docker run hello-world

     

    Introduction

    

    It’s time to begin building an app the Docker way.
    

     
    

    We start at the bottom of the hierarchy of such an app, which is a container, which we cover on this page.
    

     
    

    Above this level is a service, which defines how containers behave in production, covered in Part 3.
    

     
    

    Finally, at the top level is the stack, defining the interactions of all the services, covered in Part 5.

    Your new development environment
    

     
    

    In the past, if you were to start writing a Python app,your first order of business was to install a Python runtime onto your machine. But, that creates a situation where the environment on your machine needs to be perfect for your app to run as expected, and also needs to match your production environment.
    

     
    

    With Docker, you can just grab a portable Python runtime as an image, no installation necessary.
    

    Then, your build can include the base Python image right alongside your app code, ensuring that your app, its dependencies, and the runtime, all travel together.
    

    These portable images are defined by something called a Dockerfile.
    

     
    

     
    

    Define a container with Dockerfile
    

    Dockerfile defines what goes on in the environment inside your container.
    

     
    

     Access to resources like networking interfaces and disk drives is virtualized inside this environment, which is isolated from the rest of your system,
    

    so you need to map ports to the outside world,
    

    and be specific about what files you want to “copy in” to that environment.
    

     
    

    However, after doing that, you can expect that the build of your app defined in this Dockerfile behaves exactly the same wherever it runs.
    

     
    

    Dockerfile
    

    Create an empty directory. Change directories (cd) into the new directory, create a file called Dockerfile, copy-and-paste the following content into that file, and save it. Take note of the comments that explain each statement in your new Dockerfile.
    

    

    # Use an official Python runtime as a parent image
FROM python:2.7-slim

# Set the working directory to /app
WORKDIR /app

# Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app
ADD . /app

# Install any needed packages specified in requirements.txt
RUN pip install --trusted-host pypi.python.org -r requirements.txt

# Make port 80 available to the world outside this container
EXPOSE 80

# Define environment variable
ENV NAME World

# Run app.py when the container launches
CMD ["python", "app.py"]

    

    

     
    

    This Dockerfile refers to a couple of files we haven’t created yet, namely app.py and requirements.txt.
    

    Let’s create those next.
    

     
    

     
    

    The app itself
    

    Create two more files, requirements.txt and app.py, and put them in the same folder with the Dockerfile. This completes our app, which as you can see is quite simple.
    

    When the above Dockerfile is built into an image, app.py and requirements.txt is present because of that Dockerfile’s ADD command,
    

    and the output from app.py is accessible over HTTP thanks to the EXPOSE command.
    

     
    

    requirements.txt
    

    

    

    Flask
Redis

    

    app.py
    

    

    

    

    from flask import Flask
from redis import Redis, RedisError
import os
import socket

# Connect to Redis
redis = Redis(host="redis", db=0, socket_connect_timeout=2, socket_timeout=2)

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    try:
        visits = redis.incr("counter")
    except RedisError:
        visits = "<i>cannot connect to Redis, counter disabled</i>"

    html = "<h3>Hello {name}!</h3>" \
           "<b>Hostname:</b> {hostname}<br/>" \
           "<b>Visits:</b> {visits}"
    return html.format(name=os.getenv("NAME", "world"), hostname=socket.gethostname(), visits=visits)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=80)

    

    

     
    

    Now we see that pip install -r requirements.txt installs the Flask and Redis libraries for Python,
    

    and the app prints the environment variable NAME,
    

    as well as the output of a call to socket.gethostname().
    

    Finally, because Redis isn’t running (as we’ve only installed the Python library, and not Redis itself), we should expect that the attempt to use it here fails and produces the error message.
    

    

    

    

    

     
    

    Note: Accessing the name of the host when inside a container retrieves the container ID, which is like the process ID for a running executable.
    

     
    

    That’s it! You don’t need Python or anything in requirements.txt on your system, nor does building or running this image install them on your system.
    

     It doesn’t seem like you’ve really set up an environment with Python and Flask, but you have（in image or container，but not in system）.
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

    Build the app
    

    We are ready to build the app. Make sure you are still at the top level of your new directory. Here’s what ls should show:
    

    

    

    $ ls
Dockerfile		app.py			requirements.txt

    

    

    

    

    Now run the build command. This creates a Docker image, which we’re going to tag using -t so it has a friendly name.
    

    

    

    docker build -t friendlyhello .

    

    

    

    

    Where is your built image? It’s in your machine’s local Docker image registry:
    

    

    

    $ docker image ls

REPOSITORY            TAG                 IMAGE ID
friendlyhello         latest              326387cea398


    

    Troubleshooting for Linux users
    

    Proxy server settings
    

    Proxy servers can block connections to your web app once it’s up and running.
    

    If you are behind a proxy server, add the following lines to your Dockerfile, using the ENV command to specify the host and port for your proxy servers:
    

    

    # Set proxy server, replace host:port with values for your servers
ENV http_proxy host:port
ENV https_proxy host:port

    

    

    　　
    

    DNS settings
    

    DNS misconfigurations can generate problems with pip.
    

    You need to set your own DNS server address to make pip work properly.
    

    You might want to change the DNS settings of the Docker daemon. You can edit (or create) the configuration file at /etc/docker/daemon.json with the dns key, as following:
    

    

    {
  "dns": ["your_dns_address", "8.8.8.8"]
}

    

    

     
    

    In the example above,
    

    the first element of the list is the address of your DNS server.
    

    The second item is the Google’s DNS which can be used when the first one is not available.
    

     
    

    Before proceeding, save daemon.json and restart the docker service.
    

    sudo service docker restart
    

    Once fixed, retry to run the build command.
    

     
    

     
    

    Run the app
    

    Run the app, mapping your machine’s port 4000 to the container’s published port 80 using -p:
    

    

    

    docker run -p 4000:80 friendlyhello

    

    

    

    You should see a message that Python is serving your app at http://0.0.0.0:80. But that message is coming from inside the container, which doesn’t know you mapped port 80 of that container to 4000, making the correct URL http://localhost:4000.
    

    Go to that URL in a web browser to see the display content served up on a web page.
    

    Hello World in browser
    

    Note: If you are using Docker Toolbox on Windows 7, use the Docker Machine IP instead of localhost. For example, http://192.168.99.100:4000/. To find the IP address, use the command docker-machine ip.
    

     
    

    You can also use the curl command in a shell to view the same content.
    

    

    

    $ curl http://localhost:4000

<h3>Hello World!</h3><b>Hostname:</b> 8fc990912a14<br/><b>Visits:</b> <i>cannot connect to Redis, counter disabled</i>


    This port remapping of 4000:80 is to demonstrate the difference between what you EXPOSE within the Dockerfile, and what you publish using docker run -p. 
    In later steps, we just map port 80 on the host to port 80 in the container and use http://localhost.

    

    

    

     
    

     
    

    Hit CTRL+C in your terminal to quit.
    

     
    

    On Windows, explicitly stop the container
    

    On Windows systems, CTRL+C does not stop the container.
    

    So, first type CTRL+C to get the prompt back (or open another shell),
    

    then type docker container ls to list the running containers,
    

    followed by docker container stop <Container NAME or ID> to stop the container. Otherwise, you get an error response from the daemon when you try to re-run the container in the next step.
    

     
    

    Now let’s run the app in the background, in detached mode:
    

    docker run -d -p 4000:80 friendlyhello
    

     
    

    You get the long container ID for your app and then are kicked back to your terminal. 
    

    Your container is running in the background. 
    

    You can also see the abbreviated container ID with docker container ls (and both work interchangeably when running commands):
    

    

    $ docker container ls
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED
1fa4ab2cf395        friendlyhello       "python app.py"     28 seconds ago

    

    

    　　
    

    Notice that CONTAINER ID matches what’s on http://localhost:4000.
    

    Now use docker container stop to end the process, using the CONTAINER ID, like so:
    

    

    docker container stop 1fa4ab2cf395

    

    

    　　
    

    Share your image
    

    To demonstrate the portability of what we just created, let’s upload our built image and run it somewhere else.
    

    After all, you need to know how to push to registries when you want to deploy containers to production.
    

     
    

    A registry is a collection of repositories, and a repository is a collection of images—sort of like a GitHub repository, except the code is already built.
    

    An account on a registry can create many repositories.
    

    The docker CLI uses Docker’s public registry by default.
    

     
    

    Note: We use Docker’s public registry here just because it’s free and pre-configured,
    

    but there are many public ones to choose from,
    

    and you can even set up your own private registry using Docker Trusted Registry.
    

     
    

    Log in with your Docker ID
    

    If you don’t have a Docker account, sign up for one at hub.docker.com. Make note of your username.
    

    Log in to the Docker public registry on your local machine.
    

    $ docker login
    

     
    

     
    

    Tag the image
    

    The notation for associating a local image with a repository on a registry is username/repository:tag.
    

    The tag is optional, but recommended, since it is the mechanism that registries use to give Docker images a version.
    

    Give the repository and tag meaningful names for the context, such as get-started:part2. This puts the image in the get-started repository and tag it as part2.
    

     
    

    Now, put it all together to tag the image. Run docker tag image with your username, repository, and tag names so that the image uploads to your desired destination.
    

     
    

    The syntax of the command is:
    

    docker tag image username/repository:tag
    

    For example:
    

    docker tag friendlyhello gordon/get-started:part2
    

     
    

    Run docker image ls to see your newly tagged image.
    

    

    $ docker image ls

REPOSITORY               TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
friendlyhello            latest              d9e555c53008        3 minutes ago       195MB
gordon/get-started         part2               d9e555c53008        3 minutes ago       195MB
python                   2.7-slim            1c7128a655f6        5 days ago          183MB
...

    

    

    　　
    

    Publish the image
    

    Upload your tagged image to the repository:
    

    

    docker push username/repository:tag　
    

    

    Once complete, the results of this upload are publicly available.
    

    If you log in to Docker Hub, you see the new image there, with its pull command.　
    

     
    

    Pull and run the image from the remote repository
    

    From now on, you can use docker run and run your app on any machine with this command:
    

    

    docker run -p 4000:80 username/repository:tag

    

    

    　　
    

    If the image isn’t available locally on the machine, Docker pulls it from the repository.
    

    

    $ docker run -p 4000:80 gordon/get-started:part2
Unable to find image 'gordon/get-started:part2' locally
part2: Pulling from gordon/get-started

Status: Downloaded newer image for gordon/get-started:part2
 * Running on http://0.0.0.0:80/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

    

    

    　　
    

    No matter where docker run executes, it pulls your image, along with Python and all the dependencies from requirements.txt, and runs your code.
    

    It all travels together in a neat little package, and you don’t need to install anything on the host machine for Docker to run it.
    

     
    

     
    

    Conclusion of part two
    

    That’s all for this page. In the next section, we learn how to scale our application by running this container in a service.
    

     
    

     
    

    Recap and cheat sheet (optional)
    

    Here’s a terminal recording of what was covered on this page:
    

    Here is a list of the basic Docker commands from this page,
    

    and some related ones if you’d like to explore a bit before moving on.
    

    

    docker build -t friendlyhello .  # Create image using this directory's Dockerfile
docker run -p 4000:80 friendlyhello  # Run "friendlyname" mapping port 4000 to 80
docker run -d -p 4000:80 friendlyhello         # Same thing, but in detached mode
docker container ls                                # List all running containers
docker container ls -a             # List all containers, even those not running
docker container stop <hash>           # Gracefully stop the specified container
docker container kill <hash>         # Force shutdown of the specified container
docker container rm <hash>        # Remove specified container from this machine
docker container rm $(docker container ls -a -q)         # Remove all containers
docker image ls -a                             # List all images on this machine
docker image rm <image id>            # Remove specified image from this machine
docker image rm $(docker image ls -a -q)   # Remove all images from this machine
docker login             # Log in this CLI session using your Docker credentials
docker tag <image> username/repository:tag  # Tag <image> for upload to registry
docker push username/repository:tag            # Upload tagged image to registry
docker run username/repository:tag                   # Run image from a registry
