Exploring Docker [1] - Getting Started

[@TraversyMedia]

There are 2 videos right now, this and the Node/Mongo setup. Let me know of any other Docker tutorials you would like added to the series as far as environment setup, etc (LAMP, Wordpress, Django, etc)

I just want to mention, I am not pushing Docker or any tech ever on anyone. Some people take me making a tutorial as "You now have to use this". That is not my style. Please never feel like you HAVE to use anything anyone says (Unless it is your boss lol). Do what is best for your workflow. Do not get pressured by the industry that is constantly throwing tech at you. I am going to do a video on this subject soon

[@shashanksshetty9870]

Traversy Media thanks for this brad. To be frank we had learned a lot from you. It's because of you now we all are about to develop something new, Informative and you have guided us in our passion for coding. We respect your content and we will always look forward for your contents. Thank you. (sorry for my english)

[@adriandinca5682]

"Unless it is your boss lol" :)))) You simply made my day sir! :D

[@OlegMysianovuch]

It will be very helpfully, if you create video about Kubernetes, because it's from box now, or dividing ENV to dev and prod with deploying it to real server. Also, very interesting subject for learning is load balancing in Docker =)

[@bawonos024]

Please do that video, Transversy Media. Looking forward to it. Coz every new tech keeps making head explode. Thanks. :D

[@Nilkamalsha75]

Looking forward for that video Brad

[@michael.penrod]

One small analogy that helped me understand the difference between images and containers was consider images like the blueprints, containers are the actual house. You can't build the house without the blueprints (i.e. you need to download the image). Starting a container is like building the house and unlocking the door. Stopping a container is like locking the door. Deleting a container is like tearing the house down.

[@johndoyle3816]

Nice analogy, I thought about it more in terms of using a daemon to burn game's image onto the computer so I can play the game without the cd.

[@WhatMACHI]

Nice analogy!

[@zhitomirnedyalkow1666]

Good analogy, I like your approach.

For windows user: be sure to allow docker to share your drive with guests vm: right click on your docker icon into the toolbar -> setting -> shared drives -> check the drive you want to share. To refer your current working directory (pwd) use *${pwd}* instead of *$(pwd)* (tested on PowerShell) Thanks Brad, awesome job as always

[@getmaxeddd]

thanks man! this comment helped me big time. And yea, it didn't work in gitbash, only PowerShell

[@philr4665]

Best Docker intro I've seen yet. I've been trying to hit the ground running implementing Docker, but realised I needed to get a better understating of it. This video hit the spot. THANKS!

[@theosky7162]

I've watched at least a dozen intro Docker videos, and this is by far the best because you take the time to explain every command as you go! Perhaps counter-intuitive, but seeing the mistakes you make and how you fix them is also excellent. Thanks! You get my thumbs up, and subscription.

[@mikebailey783]

@Traversy Media - This video is brilliant; you've made the setup of Docker so much clearer than just about all of the tutorials/walkthroughs I'd previously tried. - I'd just about given up due to other pressing matters, but you've been able to cut straight to the quick, allowing me to get going with it in a practical setting. Thank you Brad!

[@SolomonKahsai]

Bless you my man!!! you did a much better job than most who claim to be teachers of docker. thank you!!!!!!!

[@greddee]

You're the man Brad. It's so inspiring to see you keep up to date with tech whilst being an awesome teacher as well. Since I'm a student you're the only one I'm currently a patron to and I'm feeling great when I see that monthly transaction to you, knowing that by helping you, you're helping me and hundreds of thousands of other programming students. You're a true source of inpiration!

[@alexyap4686]

you have a gift, i must've read countless articles on docker but have never fully grasped the idea until your video, thank you so much for this

[@bishnubasyal5861]

Best docker introduction video I have watched sor far.

[@kcirnitram1958]

I have been using Docker for a few months now and I just wish I would have had this video available when I stated. Your presentation style is absolutely the outstanding, there is no pretense just practical information.

[@jacobwilsh8517]

This was incredibly helpful and valuable, thank you. I may keep you on x2 speed and pause to google questions you answer 2 minutes later but you're the best in the biz. I couldn't even figure out how to phrase a google question of editing files in a docker and I didn't get any results, then I gave up and resumed your vid and you're like "I'm sure you guys are wondering how to edit files in the docker, you can actually bash in".

[@kaikailele]

Dear Brad, I have watched a number of videos on the use of containers and couldn't fully understand the need and advantages of using them. But the first 3 minutes of this video totally enlightened me. Thanks so much for the simple and clear explanation!

[@fizzdevdesigns5699]

As before, very clear and straight-to-the-point-while-complete explanations on a subject that might appear mysterious to a beginner (like me!). Thank you so much for offering this treasure trove of tutorials on your channel. Great Content!

[@michaelsinoplis8938]

For anyone wondering, the equivalent of '$(pwd)' on windows cmd is '%cd%' .

[@curtbryan4620]

For windows users using powershell, you can replace '$(pwd)' with '${PWD}'

[@billwindsor4224]

Thank you both for this!

[@pragueexpat5106]

%cd% is not working, just cd is working

[@oflanagain]

%cd% worked for me, thank you

[@mikequinn]

You don't need to keep puttng "container" or "image" in your docker commands. i.e. docker run is only applicable to containers, as is stop/start etc. "docker rm" is only applicable to containers, you want to remove an image then "docker rmi " Less typing is better

[@jackblack2615]

I have been following this channel for a while, and today I can not thank you enough for your explanation on docker. You just helped me survive my cs program.

[@toyinatofarati5512]

Traversy Media a blessing to our generation

[@L84PA-T]

A hands-on tutorial that's easy to follow. Thank you!

[@marcus.edmondson]

Your tutorials are by far the easiest to follow and actually understand! Thank you!

[@empuraan4710]

Got enough from this tutorial and the comments below to get stuff from work up and running ... thanks !

[@_marcinrakowski]

Brad, I get so informed from your videos here and on Udemy. you’re a great teacher.

[@RolandoEscalona]

I just started working with Docker and you somehow bring this to my life, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@mayank_upadhyay_19]

To follow this tutorial, I had to go through a lot of work. I had to update my windows 10 home to latest version (never updated my windows 10 for last 3 years). Took 5 hours. Then I had to convert it to the pro version of windows 10. And also, fix some of the inconsistencies that arised with my already installed software. (basically docker will work without it) After doing all this, I say that it was one of the turning points where you push the boundaries and enter into a different league of development. Edit: ***all the thanks to this video***

[@md.shariarkabir7350]

i know here i get the best teacher for tech. thank brad

[@amoghphadke]

I can't thank you enough, your bootstrap and JS courses have helped me tremendously. Lucky to have a person like you, thanks Brad.

[@srikantprasad6711]

Thanks for this type of video. There are not such types of videos in KZbin.

[@eudaimona]

You make some of the best tutorials in the entirety of tech youtube. You always give me just enough information to hit the ground running. Love it!

[@juanpaul6141]

Brad you never cease to amaze me with the content you generate.

[@moeinsamani1467]

Thank you Brad. I have nothing to say, I just say you made my day:)

[@Skaxarrat]

I'm a windows 10 user and it took me around 1 hour to mount an image. Thanks to the help of the comments here and forums. This is what you need to do: Go to Docker settings -> General. Check Expose Daemon on tcp.... Go to Shared Drivers and check your drive(s) you want to share. Sometimes you check and it unchecks back. Check it once and even it seems unchecked, reboot Docker. That might help Instead of $(pwd), use /c/...your route instead. For example, I typed this: C:\Users\Void\Desktop\Codi\Docker>docker container run -d -p 8080:80 -v /c/Users/Void/Desktop/Codi/Docker:/usr/share/nginx/html --name nginx-website2 nginx And now it works.

[@matsredman7640]

Thanks man! Worked for me also!

[@Henkboom1612]

This is an excellent tutorial, thank you so much for making this. Before this I had only a very vague idea as to what Docker is; I always just used VM's to do what I needed to do, but now I can see why people prefer Docker over VM's.

[@guylemay1471]

Two days bashing my head against the keyboard over this video, but in the end it was well worth it - thanks!

[@munapadhi8723]

Hi Brad, Please make video for kubernet as well. This docker tutorial is awesome. You are the best teacher for my life ever. Thanks for your hard work

THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU!!! I have been waiting for this ... heck, I even emailed you about this a month ago ... can't believe it's here ... couldn't have come at a better time for me!!! I would give this 1 million thumbs ups if I could. U da BEST Brad!!! Would like to see a React App deployed in Nginx using Docker with Express and Mongo backend and deployed on Zeit/now ... cuz this is a free platform. Plz spoil us ... (just an FYI, bought all your courses on Udemy and if you drop a Docker/React course on Udemy, I'll be the first one to buy!!) ... Thanx again. God bless you bro!!

[@monteymon8]

Just the best explanation! I’ve finally got comfortable with docker, many thanks

[@MrLarryQ]

Tremendous stuff Brad. If you're doing a third or fourth video, I'd recommend exploring creating a docker network and then a swarm, since in my experience that's where most people get tripped up-- trying to make this stuff production-ready. I'd be less concerned about Kubernetes at this point IMO, just focus on a 100% 'pure' docker solution.

[@johnnydriesen7575]

Yeah, a little 'swarm' example would be welcome....

[@jonatasoliveira500]

The best content I've found for Docker! Thanks!!

[@nemanjavukovic2355]

Excellent video. Don`t know anything about docker, and this video helped me a lot. Great work Brad

[@alecmather]

Brad just doing gods work, once again... Btw, great analogy of difference between images and containers: Images are to containers as classes are to class instances Only helpful if you understand that programming concept lol, but the idea is there

[@Skaxarrat]

To remove all containers in a Windows machine (as showed at 23:50): for /F %i in ('docker ps -qa') do docker rm %i -f

[@raymondmichael4987]

I know nothing about Docker apart from just hearing about how cool it is; thanks dude, now I'll get my fill

[@dmurphydrtc]

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and time. Love your work.

[@JoeBob79569]

I just installed Docker last night, and you've a tutorial uploaded for me just in time.. thanks! :-)

[@MattKnowsTech]

Until now, I really didn't understand the purpose of docker. After watching this video, it makes so much more sense. So I assume this is a very easy way of deploying applications to the internet such as a digital ocean droplet. Instead of using digital ocean one click installs and installing a bunch of crap, you can just pull your image from your dockerhub profile. I can also see how this can help with Wordpress migration, as that can be a bit tricky.

[@rogeriorodrigues4210]

I have been struggling to get started with Docker for a while. But after this video I have finally clarified and got a North to go on. Thank you very much for the content Brad, keep up with the awesome work!

[@TheGreatDaniad]

You are the best instructor. Thanks.

[@pdeswardt]

[@dzengiztafa7964]

Another awesome video by Traversy Media! Thank your for sharing your knowledge about this. Best tutorial I found about docker using some hands-on commands & examples

[@Yiosho]

For those of you that are using the Docker Toolbox (I'm using Windows 10 Home) this is the code you have to use to map to your local folder: $ docker container run -d -p 80:80 -v /$(pwd):/usr/share/nginx/html --name nginx-website nginx (obviously copy after the $ that indicates a command line command). I had this problem when I tried it and found the solution in stackoverflow, so I bring it to you here, happy coding!

[@phillipspencer1321]

Thumbs up for learning something at the same time.

[@NabhoneelMajumdar]
