container commands
get the list of running containers
> docker container ls
get the list of all containers (running and stopped)

# --name sets the name to the container
> docker container run --name mycontainer httpd
# run the container in interactive mode
# you can now interact with the container

# get the container attached to the terminal to
# send the commands which will run inside the container
> docker container run -t httpd
# forward the port
# 8080: source port (machine)
# 80 : destination port (container)
> docker container run -p 8080:80 <container id/name>
stop a running container

# remove a running container
> docker container rm --force <container id/name>
get the details of a container
> docker container inspect <container id/name>
execute any command inside a container
> docker container exec <container id/name> <command>
# run date command inside a container (with name myubuntu)
> docker container exec myubuntu date
# get the terminal of running container
# container start a new process for bash
# when this new process exits the container does not exit
> docker container exec -it myubuntu bash
attach to the container's main process
# attaches to the main process of the container
# if the main process exits, the container also gets exited
> docker container attach <container id/name>
check the logs from container
# get recent logs
> docker container logs <container id/name>
# get the logs as generated (continuous)
> docker container logs -f <container id/name>
exercises
execute date command inside a httpd container
# create a httpd container
> docker container run -itd --name myhttpd httpd
# execute the date command
> docker container exec myhttpd date
# remove the container
> docker container rm --force myhttpd
start a website container from a custom image
> docker container rm --force mywebsite
> docker image build -t myimage .
> docker container run -itd -p 8080:80 --name mywebsite myimage
start a mysql container
> docker container run -itd -p 3306:3306 --name mydb -e
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root mysql
start a backend server (running express) in a container
# create your image from node
FROM node
# copy all the contents within this directory to the container
COPY . .
# expose the the port 4000
EXPOSE 4000
# start the server when container gets created
CMD node server.js
> docker container rm --force myserver
> docker image build -t myserver .
> docker container run -itd -p 4000:4000 --name myserver myserver
docker swarm
create a new swarm
> docker swarm init --advertise-addr <ip address of manager>
add a new node in swarm
> docker swarm join --token <token> <ip address:port>
get the token to add new manager/worker
# this token will be used to add a manager to the swarm
> docker swarm join-token manager
# this token will be used to add a worker to the swarm
> docker swarm join-token worker
to remove a node from swarm
# execute this command from the machine that you want to remove
> docker swarm leave
to take the swarm down
# execute this command from manager node
> docker swarm leave --force

docker service commands
create a new service
> docker service create <image name>
# create a service instance with name
> docker service create --name <service name> <image name>
# create no of replicas while creating the service
> docker service create --replicas <no> <image name>
# expose the port number for outside world to connect
> docker service create -p <source port>:<destination port> <no>
<image name>
