Docker Crash Course for Absolute Beginners [NEW]

[@FreeStyleKid777]

First time in my life watching something related to Docker. Understood everything. Put it into practice on my own project. Absolutely outstanding tutorial. Best there is by light years!

[@toddai2721]

not gonna lie, I am going to get a raise from just watching this video.... you probably increase the net earnings of all the viewers on an average of 10k annually.

[@ThatFirstRep]

I am speecheless...I knew nothing about Docker an hour ago and here am I already creating my own images and running them inside containers. What a tutorial!!!!!!!! Thanks a ton Nana. I had to hit that Subscribe button! 🙏🔥

[@TechWorldwithNana]

That's amazing, welcome to my channel! :)

[@gabip265]

I have watched around 5-7 "beginner" tutorials on Docker, but none came even close to the comprehensiveness of this tutorial. This tutorial clarifies thoroughly the fundamentals of Docker at a perfect pace! Forever in your debt! :D

[@kuoyulu6714]

when she explain what VM is compare to docker, and what docker Desktop basically run a Linux VM, everything just make sense now 😀

[@haxkalibrr]

A great introductory course. Simple and concise. Slight correction for the Dockerfile section of the video. - *The commands in a dockerfile are not RUN/MAPPED in the container, only while BUILDING the image.* - _If it were, spinning up new containers would take longer as dependencies would have to be installed for each new container._ - Building a Docker image creates an object (the final layer) which specifies folder structures and contains all the necessary files i.e. base image files, installed package files, your program code and all other artifacts created as a result of the instructions in your Dockerfile. - Running the image creates a process (the container) to manage an ISOLATED instance with a folder structure and content continuing from where the image ended i.e. "run your code". This is why 2 containers based on the exact same image may have different contents at run time depending on what your code is doing to the file system: docker exec [ContainerId] ls . These underpin why a basic knowlege of Linux (file system and commands) is usually advised before learning Docker.

[@darlakim5120]

I'm a long time follower of your channel, and love the way you teach. There are a lot of very talented instructors here on KZbin, and I appreciate every one of them. What sets you apart from the rest is that you explain even the little details that everyone else glosses over, for example, " -it means interactive terminal " . That one little detail made learning k8s so much easier! Please keep up the great work!

[@Sandeepkumar-jj3no]

Note to Self Imp difference between virtual machine and docker ( have own os -virtual machine) Port binding to our lost host ( connect docker network port with our local port) expose difference between start, run containers ( start an existing one ) 47.00 - 49.00 Difference between Registry and Repository Registry is a service providing storage. Ex: AWS ECR Registry is a collection of Repository . Repository is a collection of related images with same name but different versions. Docker-file Build Instruction We need to create a "definition " of how to build an image from our application. Dockerfile is a text document that contains commands to assemble an image Docker can then build an image by reading those instructions. Docker starts form a parent or base image. Docker images consists of layers and each layer is a delta of changes from previous layer

[@OmerAbdalla]

Nana, you have a unique way of explaining things in a brief, well organized, well illustrated, and well demonstrated manner that makes you a great teacher. You just won another subscriber. Thank you!

[@informatik01]

An outstanding tutorial. All the main important moments are clearly explained and shown in practice in just an hour - a really great work! 10/10 👍 Definitely the best Docker introduction I've seen so far.

[@rjc4200]

The best Docker Crash course I have seen till date , thoroughly enjoyed it. I have more than a decade experience in IT and I can safely say your way of teaching inspires me. Keep it up Nana, keep uploading more tech videos like this !! :)

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Will definitely do, appreciate your amazing feedback! :)

[@JenOfFlowersong]

I have been out of the development world for about a decade. This video was SUPER helpful in updating my brain to the current day about application virtualization. THANK YOU so much for creating this excellent presentation.

[@The-Right-is-Right]

Just curious...were you away from IT completely for those 10 years? (I notice many people leave IT for a while and come back)

[@coreyalix]

You are by far the easiest follow on KZbin. You are clear, efficient and energetic. Thank you for not being a dud 😊.

[@LINA-tf8yi]

i'm speecheless , the way you're answering each question that pops into my head and clarify each detail in such smooth and perfect manner

[@soumyadeepsaha7853]

What an explanation. Just amazing. I have an interview tomorrow, and this one-hour video cleared all my doubts. Thank you so much for this.

[@RusNorth]

Excellent tutorial. No unnecessary talking, smooth learning curve with no complexity jumps, just compressed information. Like it a lot.

[@Dubergomezfonseca]

I have never done or used docker in the past, but, I have been wanting to learn. Now I am motivated to go deeper into this subject. Great Job!!!!

[@inspiringLines-265]

I have read a lot of documentation online. But after watching this video, i am pretty much more confident and gain many new concepts from this. Thanks a lot.

[@machinimaaquinix3178]

Honestly this is the best and most up to date Docker crash course. It def gave me everything I needed for an upcoming project. It de-mystified all the jargon and everything is explained step by step in a good progression. I'll be checking out your online courses! Thank you so much for providing this!

[@trener_1075]

I’ve finished LinkedIn’s course and nothing understood. But when I watched your course I fully understood all that you say. It’s awesome🔥 You do your work amazingly. Thank you very much indeed ❤️

[@DeliberateGeek]

I'd never run into your channel before. I've been in tech my entire career, and while I've bene familiar with Docker in the abstract, I simply haven't had a pressing need until now. I'd played with it years back, but then hadn't touched it. This video was the perfect recap to both remind me of what I'd learned before and to fill in a couple of gaps that I hadn't even known I had. Thanks very much!

[@vj7668]

Been in industry for 2 decades. These 1 and 4 hours courses are a boon for a large segment of population. Thanks a lot !

[@Armchair_Warrior]

Nana your courses are so awesome. I really appreciate your pacing and in-depth explanation. I've not had the opportunity to work much with containers professionally, and your tutorials are really helping me out as I implement them first in my home lab, and later at my job. Your hard work is appreciated!

[@karimimajed]

Wow, I can't believe it! I learned Docker in one hour. You are amazing!

[@nemeziz_prime]

Your explanations and animation graphics make learning so much fun. Thanks for doing so much for the community 👏🏻🙏🏻

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thanks for appreciating our efforts, means a lot! 💙

[@iomarian13]

indeed , there is a strong correlation between explanations and animations .

Thanks for the feedback David, really happy to hear! 😊

[@sylvesternyemah5187]

Do you guys have tutoring programs for beginners???

[@TlatoaniItzcoatl]

This was such a great course. It gave me everything I needed to no feel overwhelmed when getting started using docker. Thank you so much for making this free, it looked like it took a lot of effort to put it together as it is present so well.

[@sharkofjoy]

This is so much better than any of the other Docker videos I tried. This is the minimum amount of info needed, love it! Any tutorial with less information is leaving out something essential.

[@akshathakulkarni3457]

This is definitely THE DOCKER CRASH COURSE I needed. The basics very well explained with just the right amount of context needed to understand and start using it. It filled all the gaps I had in mind while looking through all the docker related stuff in my project. Thanks Nana. We love your tutorials. 😎

[@CamilleRAHI]

This is EXACTLY what I needed. Clear, with perfect balance between theory and practice. Thank you so much!

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it! :)

[@eezagi1728]

You're the first person I found that managed to explain what a container actually is and what it does in a way that's clear.

[@GkSpeaksHere]

One of the best courses with very clear explanation and animation. Appreciate it.

[@pranavpragyan1644]

I am using the docker for the last 2 years. But after watching this video, I got the crystal clear idea. Thank you ma'am.

[@masif6646]

It helped a lot for beginners like me. The way you teach and explain through animations makes it understandable for all. Stay blessed ever ameen

[@razaaku]

This tutorial is a treasure trove for anyone who wants to learn Docker; it is explained very well.

[@massimo6767]

This is an incredible video, an exemplar display of both technical and pedagogical competence. The animations are on point too, and combined with your way of exposing the whole learning process becomes so lightweight and pleasurable. Thank you for real 💎

[@sigangsabaglari3606]

absolute bang, i have been struggling to understand docker, images, containers, VMs, and now I am finally here after multiples tutorials and finally understanding things much better, connecting all the dots. Thank you so much.

[@hugoruivo9808]

this course is gold! been postponing learning how to use docker and you made it simple to learn and how it works behind the scenes. Thanks for doing this!

[@AAmtb]

Enough information to be able to have a sensible discussion with IT. The most helpful tutorial I've ever used!

[@TheAmateurLifestyle]

Hi! I have been working towards my A+, and plan to go for CCNA after that. In the mean time as part of a homelab I wanted to create some minecraft servers using docker. I was quite overwhelmed, but your video is amazing! You explain each part and not just "show me how". I look forward to watching other videos of yours. Just want to say TYSM!!

[@jasonrhtx]

Wow, what an exceptional presentation of Docker, understanding the components, interactions, and how to use the essentials! I’ve read several professional tutorials, and none were as clear or detailed-often skipping important details-as this video. Kudos! Thank you!

[@sapnilpatel1645]

The best video I have got on youtube for docker.

Only tutorial i've ever watched. ive tried watching over like 10 this one had me hooked from the start. easy explanation- anyone doubting keep watching i learned a lot

[@cankoban]

This video should be the definition of crash course is.

[@lawrencethompson2825]

I’ve watched lots of videos that claimed to teach dockers for dummies and end up teaching it like I’m already a pro, which just make me fall asleep. I almost gave up until I found your video. You really took your time to explain it from the basic basics. I subscribed immediately. NetworkChuck couldn’t even explain as easy as this.

[@MohammedL]

Absolutely Amazing crash course and love the way you've gone in to detail but just enough to get the flow moving and to cover such a huge topic in one hour. Thank you. Sadly, one key are many doing such tutorials seem to skim over is the concept of how the tool/application applies to the real world/SD lifecycle. This was attempted at 1.03 in the video but again, skimmed over I presume to keep the video to 1 hour however, I hope @Nana can take this feedback onboard and spend that last 10 minutes really showing how the tool/application is utilised in real world DEVOPS environments with examples. Aside from this, the key concepts within such a short video are clearly explained and a huge thank you once again for the hard work! Mo

[@TechWorldwithNana]

Thanks for your great feedback! As mentioned in the video, I actually cover real world DevOps projects, examples and demos in our DevOps bootcamp.

Had very low expectations because usually yt tutorials are a hit or miss. Got blown away by your fast and to the point teaching style. Amazing video, I already subscribed and put you on my "Search on this channel first" list when I want to learn something new.

[@ToddMcLeod-personal]

Here are all of the commands - plus a few more I read about online: docker commands --------------- Here are some commonly used Docker CLI commands: docker ps Lists all running Docker containers. If you want to see all containers (not just running), use `docker ps -a` docker pull [image name]:[tag] Downloads a Docker image from Docker Hub docker images Lists all Docker images that you have locally docker run [image name]:[tag] run a Docker container from a Docker image. You can specify the image either by its name or ID. DETACH docker run -d [image name]:[tag] runs in detached mode, eg, doesn't hijack your terminal run will pull the image from docker hub if it isn't found locally PORT BINDING docker run -d -p [local port]:[container port] [image name]:[tag] NAME THE CONTAINER docker run --name [given name] -d -p [local port]:[container port] [image name]:[tag] docker logs [container name | container id] Fetches the logs of a container. You can specify the container either by its name or ID. docker stop [container name | container id] Stops a running Docker container. You can specify the container either by its name or ID. docker start [container name | container id] starts an existing container docker rm [container name | container id] Deletes a Docker container. You can specify the container either by its name or ID. docker rmi [container name | container id] Removes a Docker image. You can specify the image either by its name or ID. docker images -------- DOCKER FILE the file from which an image is built -------- FROM Sets the base image for subsequent instructions. A valid Dockerfile must start with a `FROM` instruction. Example: `FROM ubuntu:18.04` COPY Copies files or directories from `` and adds them to the filesystem of the container at the path `` Example: `COPY . /app/` the trailing slask `/` means create this folder if it doesn't exist Example: `COPY package.json /app/` Example: `COPY src /app/` WORKDIR Sets the working directory for any `RUN`, `CMD`, `ENTRYPOINT`, `COPY` and `ADD` instructions that follow it in the Dockerfile. Example: `WORKDIR /app` RUN Executes any commands in a shell/terminal inside the container environment The commands add a new layer on top of the current image and commit the results. The resulting committed image will be used for the next step in the Dockerfile. Example: `RUN npm install` Example: `RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3` CMD Provides defaults for an executing container. These can include an executable, or they can omit the executable, in which case you must specify an `ENTRYPOINT` command. Example: `CMD ["executable","param1","param2"]` Example: `CMD ["node","server.js"]` --- other commands --- ENTRYPOINT This command allows you to configure a container that will run as an executable. Example: `ENTRYPOINT ["executable", "param1", "param2"]` ADD This command copies new files, directories or remote file URLs from `` and adds them to the filesystem of the container at the path ``. `ADD` has some features (like local-only tar extraction and remote URL support) not present in `COPY`. Example: `ADD . /app` EXPOSE This command informs Docker that the container listens on the specified network ports at runtime. Example: `EXPOSE 8080` ENV This command sets the environment variable `` to the value ``. This value will be in the environment for all subsequent instructions in the build stage and can be replaced inline in many as well. Example: `ENV MY_NAME="John Doe"` VOLUME This command creates a mount point with the specified name and marks it as holding externally mounted volumes from native host or other containers. Example: `VOLUME /myvol` ARG This command defines a variable that users can pass at build-time to the builder with the `docker build` command. Example: `ARG VERSION=latest` USER This command sets the user name (or UID) and optionally the user group (or GID) to use when running the image and for any `RUN`, `CMD` and `ENTRYPOINT` instructions that follow it in the Dockerfile. Example: `USER myuser` Remember, the order of commands in a Dockerfile matters because each command in a Dockerfile results in a new image layer. Later commands can use the results of previous commands. Also, Docker uses a build cache - if a particular command has been executed before and nothing has changed, Docker uses the cached result, which can make building images faster. -------- Build a DOCKER IMAGE from a DOCKER FILE -------- docker build -t [name:tag] Builds a Docker image from a Dockerfile in the current directory. The `-t` option lets you specify a name and tag for the image. docker exec -it [container_id] command Runs a command in a running container. The `-it` options make the session interactive so you can interact with the command. You can specify the container either by its name or ID. docker-compose up Starts all services defined in a `docker-compose.yml` file docker-compose down Stops and removes all services defined in a `docker-compose.yml` file. -------- Remember that to use any of these commands, you first need to have Docker running on your system. Additionally, most of these commands require root privileges, so depending on your system's configuration, you might need to prefix them with `sudo`. Also note that many commands have additional options and flags that can be used to modify their behavior. You can see these by typing the command followed by `--help`, for example, `docker run --help`.

[@mohammedsardar3779]

[@manuelwilde195]

Finally a tutorial that helps you understand what Docker actually is, how it works and also very practical. Although I couldn't get it to work with npm it was a step in the right direction for me. Maybe once an example in a tutorial would be possible, where a MySQL database is pulled as an image from docker-hub, then via Dockerfile a database and a table are created and lastly a record is written to the database. That would be great. But it would also be important for me to understand how I can get back to this data set, even if the container was stopped once ... (If I have understood it correctly, the container is reset with every stop, right?)
