Introduction8:05
learn how docker is an app platform that packages applications and dependencies into containers and images, solving the code runs on my machine problem by enabling consistent runtimes.
Docker Architecure9:05
Understanding Docker architecture reveals hardware, host OS, and the Docker engine managing containers, enabling multiple software versions in isolated containers without full hypervisor virtualization overhead.
Docker File, Docker Image and Docker Container7:53
Learn how a Docker file, a text document of instructions, builds a Docker image that serves as a template to create containers. Understand containers as running environments with dependencies.
Docker Installation9:39
install docker on windows using docker desktop and complete the setup. verify system requirements, enable wsl2, and download the installer from docker.com, ensuring 64-bit windows and virtualization are enabled.
Docker_Installation_Ubuntu.mp46:17
Install docker on Ubuntu using apt repository following official documentation; the guide covers prerequisites, uninstalling previous versions, updating, running hello world container, and verifying the installation.
Docker Basic Commands10:55
Master essential Docker basic commands to pull the Hello World image, run containers, and manage images and containers with docker ps, docker rm, docker rmi, and Docker Hub.
Docker Installing Python Image8:04
Learn to pull the Python image from Docker Hub, run an interactive Python shell with docker run -it, and use version tags to select Python releases.
Running Containers In Background8:32
Learn to run a docker container in the background with docker run -d, assign a name, and manage it with docker stop, docker start, and docker exec.
Dockerizing_Creating Python Image9:32
Create a Python docker image by crafting a dockerfile with from python, set a working directory, copy files, and cmd to run app.py; build and run the container.
Creating Ubuntu Image4:27
Create an Ubuntu image by writing a Dockerfile, building it with docker build, and running the container to verify the current user and present working directory.
Creating Java Image using docker file10:26
Create a Java image with a Dockerfile by setting workdir, copy files, and compiling sample.java with java; then build with docker build -t my java app and run the container.
Push_Image_to_Docker_Hub9:47
Push a docker image to Docker Hub by tagging with your username and version, logging in, and pushing; then pull to share projects across environments.
124:06
Discover how docker compose defines and runs multiple containers using a single docker-compose.yml. Learn why compose simplifies managing front-end and back-end services with a yaml file.
Docker_Compose_Installation2:34
Learn how to install Docker Compose on Linux, use the official documentation to guide the setup, and verify the version with docker compose -v.
Creating basic docker-compose yml file.mp43:47
Learn to create a basic docker-compose.yml, define version 2.5, set a service with a container name, and configure build context and docker file, then run docker-compose up.
Creating_Python_Server.mp44:34
Create a Python server with Docker Compose by building a Python base image, copying files to /app, setting the workdir, mapping port 1234, then run Docker Compose up.
