Learning Docker // Getting started!

[@Janemayank]

Just because of your videos, I have my own lab setup now. I have some confidence in networking and containers. You also asked me to follow your labs videos, and I'm doing it as a hobby. I follow some youtubers, and they suggest to watch your videos. It is so good to see you back. May God bless you.

[@djKenpLan09]

I am so glad you are back! Keep it up man, we really appreciate you!

[@Imsobling]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm a 13-year-old boy, that didn't really have much interest in computers and coding and programming but after this video, it got so much into it, seeing you type commands and docker would do the rest, got me so interested and excited to try it out. I have made my parents proud after showing them some skills from the tutorial, and I want to say thank you so much!

[@pierceprimm2516]

I appreciate your organized (very easy to follow), step-by-step explanation of Docker and personally like your conversational presentation style as an English-only speaker. I know it takes a lot of time, effort and skill to put together an effective video tutorial like you do...and we appreciate it.

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much :)

[@oliverolsen620]

There is a German guy that made me ditch VMware ESXi and vCenter in favour of Proxmox (no regrets!) and also inspired me to use containers rather than dedicated VMs. Sounds familiar? Believe his name is Christian... Great and incredibliy inspiring videos you make, so thanks a lot for the content! Just waiting for a Docker Swarm setup using shared NFS storage and how to proceed from the docker-compose files on single Docker servers to deploying a whole stack in a swarm cluster :-) I know, should go Kubernetes, but too much for my homelab....

[@madeyeQ]

I think it's important to also note that docker desktop is only free for home use. In a Corporate environment (with 250 employees or more) you would need to pay a license for it.

[@TheSaruVerse]

Welcome Back Christian !! you have been missed by the community

[@dennisdejong7201]

I am glad to see you back with another great tutorial about docker. Looking forward to see the next great turorials about docker.

[@krishnaprasad8978]

great initial start! it would be nice in your future episodes, you can elaborate on best practices for 1. data persistence - database and app files on different volumes 2. Backup and restore - mainly scheduled back up of databases and restoring it - it is trivial with the database installed on a full o/s, but not so much on a container.

[@skybear400]

I have never used Docker, so I hadn't even heard about containers. But your introductory explanation of what containers are is clear and concise. Good work!

[@christianlempa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@P8860]

This is my first time I'm understanding containers. Thank you for the awesome breakdown.

[@christianlempa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@patrick.denessen]

Great Video, good to see you back. If you want to start, delete a container then you only need to type a few (unique) digits of the ID, so you don't need the full ID.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks :D

[@RazoBeckett.]

docker is my favorite IT tool so far...❤️

[@tubbydrmmr]

Oh my word, I am so happy to have found this video and series! I have tried many times to watch other docker tutorials in the past, but so far everything I have come across seems to assume you are a developer, which I am not. Foundational topics are often quickly glossed over or not explained at all and/or there is so much fluff in the video that it's hard to focus on the concepts being shown. This video was so well organized, topics/steps are explained really well and in a way that is easy to comprehend. I spun up a test Ubuntu server machine and was able to follow along with everything in the video. Super well done, thank you very much Christian! Subscribed and supported on Patreon, and I'm looking forward to watching more episodes in this series!!!

[@christianlempa]

Thank you, man! Watch out on Patreon, I'm going to release new part of it there :)

[@shinzoken1]

Only 9mins in but heck, glad you didn’t turned away from “the community” 😊 and since I’m waiting on my first raspberry pi to be delivered, is this an excellent refreshing on “my docker knowledge” 😊 Keep it up, you are inspiring more techy’s than you think you are ;)

[@whylde7834]

Happy for an updated series from you! Might get me back into messing around! Thanks Christian!

[@christianlempa]

Thanks 🙏

[@jardelainen8278]

This is what I have been waiting for, hopefully this will be a series

[@christianlempa]

Yes. will be :D

[@joshuawilke3775]

Great introduction, I have been homelabbing with VMs exclusively for a while now, but seems like Docker is the industry standard so it's time to learn it.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks! 100% agree

[@Cevap05]

Looking forward to this series. Hope more series such as these are done!!

[@christianlempa]

That's the plan! :D

[@chiveentube]

Well done, Christian! You always have well-executed and informative content. Very much appreciated!

[@Pepperpot666]

I am trying to learn about Docker and your video gave my a good introduction. I am really looking forward to the next parts of the series. A video about security and risks / running Docker in security environments without internet access would be really great. After all, you download and run "blackboxes" on your system, needing to trust the images not to contain anything malicious.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks, hope you enjoy the next parts as well :)

[@whereistheline8964]

Hi Christian, I really like you to make this docker series. You presented the beginner stuff very comprehensible I am really looking forward to the more advanced topics.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks :)

[@jtmusson]

Really appreciated this introduction, especially mentioning how to map the ports and volumes, which has always confused me.

[@alanjrobertson]

I only got into Docker at the start of this year but absolutely love it! Esp love Portainer and Nginx Proxy Manager. Great into video and the rest of the series sound great - subscription added 😉👍😎

[@jkommisar]

I am glad to see you back Christian!!🙂

[@christianlempa]

Thanks :D

[@josemarialabarta]

Very good idea, I am going to look forward to watching this entire series of videos about Docker - Thank you very much

[@damadorpl]

nice return with usefull tutorial :)

[@mrmotomoto]

Really looking forward to the rest of your docker tutorials!

[@troyfred2562]

Great video Christian! An idea for a video in this series, "What is the difference between a secure base container, and one you would get from dockerhub or red hat/ubuntu themselves". Honestly I work in a secure environment and I have NO idea how to make sure the BASE container is secure and how to even check that sort of thing. Love your work, looking forward to this evolving into a full blown course :)

[@h2sop160]

Willkommen zurück ;) ... Bin gespannt, Daumen hoch ist natürlich schon geklickt.

[@mrd4233]

Thank you so much Christian about this comprehensive guide!!

[@ArifKamaruzaman]

Terrific tutorial. I'm looking forward to this series. Ahhh feeling happy now.

[@boopalanpichandi8178]

I'm so glad 🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@ChrisValcke]

fantastic video, look forward to see rest of the series!

[@oskar3514]

Looking forward to this series!!! Great video, as always.

[@jacobaltaras273]

Great video! I'm trying to get serious about learning some Docker and your video was a fantastic foundation for this. I can't wait for the next one!

[@EpicGamingNL]

Really enjoyed watching this Docker video! Keep up the good work Christian :)

[@micleh]

Never watched such a fantastic tutorial. I like it so much because it's hands-on to what you need to get started. I'm really looking forward to this series! Sadly, our school IT company does not provide any Docker images for my computer science courses. There would be so much I could teach my students, and they would give me some more freedom in this totally Windows centered environment that is also very poorly configured.

[@qcnsllcqcnsupport7616]

Thank you for the excellent video. 🙂

[@christianlempa]

Glad you liked it!

[@geoffreyvanwyk4588]

Excellent introduction to Docker. Thank you.

[@christianlempa]

Thank you!

[@burninghead2980]

Have been waiting for your videos man!

[@JimMendenhall]

Thank you! Looking forward to the next videos in the series.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks :) stay tuned

[@TheBlaser55]

Great video and look forward to more along these lines especially building containers.

[@_TbT_]

I am gonna share the series like crazy on /selfhosted ! Thanks a lot!

[@ChrisDecrease]

I definitely want more of these. I've got a home server that's really just an old desktop running Manjaro and a Plex snap, with the media files on an external hard drive. I want to learn how to take things tot the next level. I don't know if I should use Proxmox, TrueNAS, or something like CentOS, but I wanna learn what's best for the job. I also want to learn about RAID. And I want to learn about Containers. This video is so timely, it's ridiculous. Thank you.

[@Stuffynes]

Proxmox will allow you to build any OS/VM/LXC and throw away when done which is really nice when starting out. I used to run truenas on proxmox and it worked well; I now just have truenas scale as the base OS and I run all of my containers here.

[@ChrisDecrease]

@@Stuffynes, Proxmox does sound pretty convenient in that regard. What are your use cases for the device(s) running TrueNAS Scale, and why'd you switch from PM+TN to just TN?

[@Stuffynes]

@@ChrisDecrease , main use case for TN is running containers with persistent storage - this can be achieved with just docker but TN makes the storage side pretty easy especially when accessing over the network e.g. smb. Switching away from PN+TN to just TN was mostly for reducing complexity but I do miss having the ability to easily build vms/lxcs.

[@ChrisDecrease]

@@Stuffynes, ah! Thank you! I'm still looking around, and reading before deciding which route to take. I may just just bare Linux and build on top of that. NixOS, perhaps.

[@magran17]

Great job. Much love from 🇨🇦

[@christianlempa]

Thanks :)

[@sjefkuppens]

Thanks Christian, just what i needed !

[@christianlempa]

You're welcome :)

[@JohnSmith-yz7uh]

I never used pure docker and used compose from the start. i hope you cover docker compose as it seems like doing the same thing but using a config file. It also makes using multiple containers together much easier

[@christianlempa]

It will be part of the series, but it's important to know the basics first

[@TerenceKearns]

best docker intro I've seen

[@christianlempa]

Thanks :)

[@Emilpk]

This was fantastic Christian. I will be subscribing

[@christianlempa]

Thanks! :) welcome!

[@utkumagemizoglu573]

I can say that I almost never comment but your video seems very beginner friendly I really got very interested I will be following upcoming series of this tutorial and check out other resources to learn docker THANKS A LOT. Maybe we can expect a Kubernetes series following this tutorials ????

[@wardaistda3240]

I really like your videos and this one is a great example why. Thanks for doing your work!

[@christianlempa]

Thanks for watching them :D

That sounds like an awesome series! Will you add a "How to protect Docker from Hackers" chapter? :) Thanks for your great videos, Christian!

[@christianlempa]

Security will be part of it :)

[@groovyboytube]

Great video. Waiting for the rest of the content

[@doriandoussain1528]

I will be intrested in a full video for Kestra with maybe real case example, thx for you time Christian

[@christianlempa]

Good idea, maybe we'll do that in Dec, or at least at the beginning of next year.

[@ThrowAwaySounds]

Great video love the visuals, makes this fun and easy to learn

[@christianlempa]

Thanks! Great feedback :)

[@nealinux]

Good job! Please keep going!

[@CaptZenPetabyte]

Sorry for the stupid question (?) but is there a way of hosting your own deployments and pull from a local server instead?

[@just-in-tech]

Excellent information in this video

[@christianlempa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@christianpeyrusse794]

Always great as usual. Another video about docker compose would be interesting. Anyway, Thanks for the hard work done 👍

[@dianlinux]

exelente contenido muchas gracias por los videos de este tema saludos desde colombia

[@laserimage8583]

Thanks for the explanation. Been using docker for a bit but don't really know where is the best location to store all the different docker config/docker-compose. yml files in Linux debian mint? So I can easily backup that folder for all the docker containers.

[@myeniad]

Great explanation, thanks!

[@bingtingwu8620]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!!

[@christianlempa]

Thanks for watching it 😍

[@agnemedia624]

Thank you for precisely setting and running? Is it possible to run (share one ) apache php and mysql, and running 2-3 projects in mydomain1 mydomain3 in same time? (update in local .host file to match a name1, name2 required )

[@samarbid13]

Could you make a video showing how to patch a docker image security vanurablity? as for now you can scan the image with docker Scout and find the issues, but how can you deal with it without third party tools would be amazing! thankyou!

[@Zeka00]

Can you make a video on how you've customized your terminal, it looks neat.

[@christianlempa]

You can already find some videos about Warp on my channel :) Hope that helps

[@timeforrice]

Thank you for this video!

[@christianlempa]

I like the T-Shirt Design ("Vibes") from the Video Thumbnail. Where can I buy that?

[@mariobader2152]

I actually only have one problem with Docker In my over 30-year IT career, including in large publicly traded companies (especially in mechanical engineering), I have never come across Docker. I use Docker very well at home. What are your experiences ?

[@MatthewNicholsDevGuy]

Thanks, that was super helpful.

[@kennj321]

I'll be watching this series close. I'm trying to setup LAMP + NodeJS in a home lab and on Linode or Digital Ocean for a series of small app and I'm interested in how docker can help me.

[@jasonnugent963]

I don't understand where the Command Line you keep showing at the bottom of the screen,.. what or where is that ?.. on my Mac (Apple Silicon) installation of Docker,. I don't have that ?

[@kisshore3853]

Fantastic tutorial!! thanks a lot for this.

[@christianlempa]

You're very welcome!

[@JohnDoe1999-lg7mh]

Thanks. Not having persistent volumes for data as the default is strange to me. Would be like if you don't flip a switch when you lock the door at your home and you come back and the contents of your home have vanished.

[@christianlempa]

Keep in mind, one main concept of containers is they are ephemeral, which means they should not store data for the most parts.

[@MrOryly]

Awesome, thanks a lot!

[@dawidborek5122]

Great video! But please, for future videos make the font bigger and brighter!!! It’s hard to see console text/commands especially if I watch it on my phone :-(

[@cossth]

Oye Christian Lempa, nice one.

[@dolfinmicro]

What terminal emulator are your using. I don't have a Mac yet but I will be getting one the next time I need a new computer and I like the way your terminal emulatoor is layed out.

[@simon2d2]

Warp.

[@stevennguyen1778]

Hi Christian, Thank you for the great video. I have a question regarding the CLI: how do you set up the CLI autocompletion for docker commands?

[@christianlempa]

It's a feature in Warp Terminal

[@stevennguyen1778]

@@christianlempa Warp is available for Mac only at present 😞. I'm waiting for the Windows version.

[@MeisterAlucard]

28:24 - 30:03 So I still need a reverse-proxy running natively on the server, right?

[@sunnyburst8140]

[@mykyar9142]

Consider for distroless containers instead of alpine

[@mykyar9142]

It is suggestion for you, not for cource

[@DimitrisChr]

Would love to know if there is a way to set static IPs on various docker containers. Would like to have a network agnostic setup to be able to give out to members of my family pre-setup servers with dockers that link to each other without the need to be on site and know their network setup and configure dockers with their assigned IPs.

[@SethWhaley]

Yes you can set static on docker containers. I would probably go the route of docker compose, however, if you set a static and the family member doesn't have that network configured, they wouldn't be able to access the containers without first adding that to their network config.

[@MyAgOnY]

Maybe you could pre-setup your dockers with a naming setup and a defined network. No need for IP this way.

[@DimitrisChr]

@@MyAgOnY so if I create a new network to be used by dockers I can use hostnames to link dockers?

[@SethWhaley]

@@DimitrisChr actually, if you set them up with "host" networking it would pull whatever the IP of the computer they're running it on so could be a way to do what you are thinking and allowing for the variability in network configurations. Only thing then is I would go the route of having a dashboard solution included in the stack as remembering port numbers can be a bit overwhelming.
