# Working with containers
|
|
|
|
In the [last section of the Docker User Guide](dockerizing.md)
|
|
we launched our first containers. We launched containers using the
|
|
`docker run` command:
|
|
|
|
* Interactive container runs in the foreground.
|
|
* Daemonized container runs in the background.
|
|
|
|
In the process we learned about several Docker commands:
|
|
|
|
* `docker ps` - Lists containers.
|
|
* `docker logs` - Shows us the standard output of a container.
|
|
* `docker stop` - Stops running containers.
|
|
|
|
> **Tip:**
|
|
> Another way to learn about `docker` commands is our
|
|
> [interactive tutorial](https://www.docker.com/tryit/).
|
|
|
|
The `docker` client is pretty simple. Each action you can take
|
|
with Docker is a command and each command can take a series of
|
|
flags and arguments.
|
|
|
|
# Usage: [sudo] docker [command] [flags] [arguments] ..
|
|
# Example:
|
|
$ docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
|
|
|
|
Let's see this in action by using the `docker version` command to return
|
|
version information on the currently installed Docker client and daemon.
|
|
|
|
$ docker version
|
|
|
|
This command will not only provide you the version of Docker client and
|
|
daemon you are using, but also the version of Go (the programming
|
|
language powering Docker).
|

## Get Docker command help
|
|
|
|
You can display the help for specific Docker commands. The help details the
|
|
options and their usage. To see a list of all the possible commands, use the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
$ docker --help
|
|
|
|
To see usage for a specific command, specify the command with the `--help` flag:
|
|
|
|
$ docker attach --help
|
|
|
|
Usage: docker attach [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
|
|
|
|
Attach to a running container
|
|
|
|
--help=false Print usage
|
|
--no-stdin=false Do not attach stdin
|
|
--sig-proxy=true Proxy all received signals to the process
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> For further details and examples of each command, see the
|
|
> [command reference](../reference/commandline/cli.md) in this guide.

|
|
## Running a web application in Docker
|
|
|
|
So now we've learnt a bit more about the `docker` client let's move onto
|
|
the important stuff: running more containers. So far none of the
|
|
containers we've run did anything particularly useful, so let's
|
|
change that by running an example web application in Docker.
|
|
|
|
For our web application we're going to run a Python Flask application.
|
|
Let's start with a `docker run` command.
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -d -P training/webapp python app.py
|
|
|
|
Let's review what our command did. We've specified two flags: `-d` and
|
|
`-P`. We've already seen the `-d` flag which tells Docker to run the
|
|
container in the background. The `-P` flag is new and tells Docker to
|
|
map any required network ports inside our container to our host. This
|
|
lets us view our web application.
|
|
|
|
We've specified an image: `training/webapp`. This image is a
|
|
pre-built image we've created that contains a simple Python Flask web
|
|
application.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, we've specified a command for our container to run: `python app.py`. This launches our web application.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> You can see more detail on the `docker run` command in the [command
|
|
> reference](../reference/commandline/run.md) and the [Docker Run
|
|
> Reference](../reference/run.md).
|
|
|
|
## Viewing our web application container
|
|
|
|
Now let's see our running container using the `docker ps` command.
|
|
|
|
$ docker ps -l
|
|
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
|
|
bc533791f3f5 training/webapp:latest python app.py 5 seconds ago Up 2 seconds 0.0.0.0:49155->5000/tcp nostalgic_morse
|
|
|
|
You can see we've specified a new flag, `-l`, for the `docker ps`
|
|
command. This tells the `docker ps` command to return the details of the
|
|
*last* container started.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> By default, the `docker ps` command only shows information about running
|
|
> containers. If you want to see stopped containers too use the `-a` flag.
|
|
|
|
We can see the same details we saw [when we first Dockerized a
|
|
container](dockerizing.md) with one important addition in the `PORTS`
|
|
column.
|
|
|
|
PORTS
|
|
0.0.0.0:49155->5000/tcp
|
|
|
|
When we passed the `-P` flag to the `docker run` command Docker mapped any
|
|
ports exposed in our image to our host.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> We'll learn more about how to expose ports in Docker images when
|
|
> [we learn how to build images](dockerimages.md).
|
|
|
|
In this case Docker has exposed port 5000 (the default Python Flask
|
|
port) on port 49155.
|
|
|
|
Network port bindings are very configurable in Docker. In our last example the
|
|
`-P` flag is a shortcut for `-p 5000` that maps port 5000 inside the container
|
|
to a high port (from *ephemeral port range* which typically ranges from 32768
|
|
to 61000) on the local Docker host. We can also bind Docker containers to
|
|
specific ports using the `-p` flag, for example:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 80:5000 training/webapp python app.py
|
|
|
|
This would map port 5000 inside our container to port 80 on our local
|
|
host. You might be asking about now: why wouldn't we just want to always
|
|
use 1:1 port mappings in Docker containers rather than mapping to high
|
|
ports? Well 1:1 mappings have the constraint of only being able to map
|
|
one of each port on your local host. Let's say you want to test two
|
|
Python applications: both bound to port 5000 inside their own containers.
|
|
Without Docker's port mapping you could only access one at a time on the
|
|
Docker host.
|
|
|
|
So let's now browse to port 49155 in a web browser to
|
|
see the application.
|
|
|
|
![Viewing the web application](webapp1.png).
|
|
|
|
Our Python application is live!
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> If you have been using a virtual machine on OS X, Windows or Linux,
|
|
> you'll need to get the IP of the virtual host instead of using localhost.
|
|
> You can do this by running the `docker-machine ip your_vm_name` from your command line or terminal application, for example:
|
|
>
|
|
> $ docker-machine ip my-docker-vm
|
|
> 192.168.99.100
|
|
>
|
|
> In this case you'd browse to `http://192.168.99.100:49155` for the above example.
|
|
|
|
## A network port shortcut
|
|
|
|
Using the `docker ps` command to return the mapped port is a bit clumsy so
|
|
Docker has a useful shortcut we can use: `docker port`. To use `docker port` we
|
|
specify the ID or name of our container and then the port for which we need the
|
|
corresponding public-facing port.
|
|
|
|
$ docker port nostalgic_morse 5000
|
|
0.0.0.0:49155
|
|
|
|
In this case we've looked up what port is mapped externally to port 5000 inside
|
|
the container.
|
|
|
|
## Viewing the web application's logs
|
|
|
|
Let's also find out a bit more about what's happening with our application and
|
|
use another of the commands we've learnt, `docker logs`.
|
|
|
|
$ docker logs -f nostalgic_morse
|
|
* Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/
|
|
10.0.2.2 - - [23/May/2014 20:16:31] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
|
|
10.0.2.2 - - [23/May/2014 20:16:31] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 -
|
|
|
|
This time though we've added a new flag, `-f`. This causes the `docker
|
|
logs` command to act like the `tail -f` command and watch the
|
|
container's standard out. We can see here the logs from Flask showing
|
|
the application running on port 5000 and the access log entries for it.
|
|
|
|
## Looking at our web application container's processes
|
|
|
|
In addition to the container's logs we can also examine the processes
|
|
running inside it using the `docker top` command.
|
|
|
|
$ docker top nostalgic_morse
|
|
PID USER COMMAND
|
|
854 root python app.py
|
|
|
|
Here we can see our `python app.py` command is the only process running inside
|
|
the container.
|
|
|
|
## Inspecting our web application container
|
|
|
|
Lastly, we can take a low-level dive into our Docker container using the
|
|
`docker inspect` command. It returns a JSON document containing useful
|
|
configuration and status information for the specified container.
|
|
|
|
$ docker inspect nostalgic_morse
|
|
|
|
Let's see a sample of that JSON output.
|
|
|
|
[{
|
|
"ID": "bc533791f3f500b280a9626688bc79e342e3ea0d528efe3a86a51ecb28ea20",
|
|
"Created": "2014-05-26T05:52:40.808952951Z",
|
|
"Path": "python",
|
|
"Args": [
|
|
"app.py"
|
|
],
|
|
"Config": {
|
|
"Hostname": "bc533791f3f5",
|
|
"Domainname": "",
|
|
"User": "",
|
|
. . .
|
|
|
|
We can also narrow down the information we want to return by requesting a
|
|
specific element, for example to return the container's IP address we would:
|
|
|
|
$ docker inspect -f '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' nostalgic_morse
|
|
172.17.0.5
|
|
|
|
## Stopping our web application container
|
|
|
|
Okay we've seen web application working. Now let's stop it using the
|
|
`docker stop` command and the name of our container: `nostalgic_morse`.
|
|
|
|
$ docker stop nostalgic_morse
|
|
nostalgic_morse
|
|
|
|
We can now use the `docker ps` command to check if the container has
|
|
been stopped.
|
|
|
|
$ docker ps -l
|
|
|
|
## Restarting our web application container
|
|
|
|
Oops! Just after you stopped the container you get a call to say another
|
|
developer needs the container back. From here you have two choices: you
|
|
can create a new container or restart the old one. Let's look at
|
|
starting our previous container back up.
|
|
|
|
$ docker start nostalgic_morse
|
|
nostalgic_morse
|
|
|
|
Now quickly run `docker ps -l` again to see the running container is
|
|
back up or browse to the container's URL to see if the application
|
|
responds.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> Also available is the `docker restart` command that runs a stop and
|
|
> then start on the container.
|
|
|
|
## Removing our web application container
|
|
|
|
Your colleague has let you know that they've now finished with the container
|
|
and won't need it again. So let's remove it using the `docker rm` command.
|
|
|
|
$ docker rm nostalgic_morse
|
|
Error: Impossible to remove a running container, please stop it first or use -f
|
|
2014/05/24 08:12:56 Error: failed to remove one or more containers
|
|
|
|
What happened? We can't actually remove a running container. This protects
|
|
you from accidentally removing a running container you might need. Let's try
|
|
this again by stopping the container first.
|
|
|
|
$ docker stop nostalgic_morse
|
|
nostalgic_morse
|
|
$ docker rm nostalgic_morse
|
|
nostalgic_morse
|
|
|
|
And now our container is stopped and deleted.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> Always remember that removing a container is final!
|
|
|
|
# Next steps
|
|
|
|
Until now we've only used images that we've downloaded from
|
|
[Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com). Next, let's get introduced to
|
|
building and sharing our own images.
|
|
|
|
Go to [Working with Docker Images](dockerimages.md).
