Course Introduction - Docker Fundamentals1:19
Master Docker fundamentals through practical applications and final deployment of services, enabling you to create, share, and run applications anywhere, in physical or cloud environments.
How is this course structured?1:16
Explore course structure, covering fundamentals of Docker, CI/CD, and DevOps technologies; learn to install Docker on Windows, Mac, or Ubuntu, then apply skills in practical development and first container projects.

Running your first Docker Image15:23
Docker Image tags4:57
Explore Docker image tags on Docker Hub, including latest and custom tags, and learn to run containers with specific tags, assign custom names, and manage images and containers with isolation.
Removing Docker Containers7:19
Removing Docker Images5:03
Learn to list and filter docker images to identify removable images. Remove images with docker rmi, using force when containers block deletion.
Ubuntu Docker Image6:28
Explore how to pull the official ubuntu image from docker hub, run and manage containers with docker run, and view images and containers using docker images and docker ps -a.
Restarting a Docker Container6:07
Pause, stop, start, and restart Docker containers to control resources without deleting them. Use docker restart with a time parameter to delay stopping, and practice with Ubuntu and Postgres images.
Execution of commands inside a running container4:48
Pull and run a Docker image, handle an environment variable error, then use docker exec to enter a running container with an interactive shell and inspect directories.
View logs generated by the container8:45
Remove multiple containers7:07
Remove all created images2:12
Docker Image search from the terminal7:12
Rename a Docker Container2:39
Learn how to rename a Docker container to enable automation and clear identification since container IDs are random, using the Docker rename command on a Redis container.
Show system-wide information2:20
Use docker info to view system details from the client and server, including containers, images, version, logging driver, cpu, memory, architecture, and os. Remove unused containers to free space.
Saving a Docker Image in a compressed file5:20
Import Docker Images from a compressed file2:12
Show Docker Container statistics4:29
Learn to visualize docker container statistics with the docker stats command, including CPU and memory usage, limits, network input/output, and PIDs, using Redis containers as examples.
