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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@marcus.edmondson]

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

[@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

[@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

[@Super_Cool_Guy]

*Brad ! i am so happy you are showing us Dockers, i have been waiting for videos from you on this for some time.... thanks man ! i hope you will continue this docker series and hopefully cover **_kubernetes_** as well !*

[@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!

[@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!

[@user-rr9pt9ds3i]

Thanks for the great video and tutorial! I'd say keep up with the tutorials - you have a gift for teaching in my honest opinion.

[@liamjones7061]

thank you so much, every other video i have watched on docker for beginners just dance around how to actually use and set it up with an app, Thank you for being direct and showing real actual examples as you go.

[@Leoninmiami]

good stuff! you have a good voice and cadence for these instructional videos. I can listen to you all day.

[@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.

[@evilflowx]

Thank you very much for this video! This is one of the most informative containers videos that I've come across yet.

[@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.

[@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!

[@MrSaurabhDeva]

You are awesome Brad, I like your videos and it is fantastic one for the docker initial understanding, you nicely explained every steps for beginner who is starting Docker.

[@sreid70]

Awesome! Really like the way you explain things. Nice to see the concepts demonstrated without using some over complicated example.

[@SolomonKahsai]

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

[@RolandoEscalona]

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

[@ahmedmusawir]

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!!

[@bishnubasyal5861]

Best docker introduction video I have watched sor far.

[@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

[@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".

[@juanpaul6141]

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

[@merugu4790]

Really awesome tutorial and one of the best explanation on docker fundamentals Thank you so much..

[@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.

[@mau_lopez]

Great tutorial! I really appreciate it, thanks a lot and thanks for the Gist as well, very helpful

[@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!

Thank you Brad. This video is awesome as all you share with us.

[@kerimtim]

22:48 Yes. This is what I was looking to know. Thanks again Brad.

[@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....

[@TheGreatDaniad]

You are the best instructor. Thanks.

[@aio6257]

I wish you uploaded this video a several months ago when I was in a great need of learning docker. I lost my freelance task Because there was no good resource on KZbin about it. Anyways you're the best, trust me.

[@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***

[@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.

[@andreekzz]

Awersome! Brad, thank alot! With no doubt - I can call you my teacher. I`m start with your udemy courses from JavaScript and Node.js scratch and scale my professional grow step by step. Do more videos like that.
