Docker Image build and Run Docker Container

Overview

This project demonstrates how to create a Docker image for an application and run it as a Docker container. The project includes a Dockerfile which contains all the necessary instructions to build the image.

Prerequisites

  • Docker installed on your machine
  • Follow the Docker official documentation for Docker Installation.

Getting Started

Clone the project to any directory where you do development work.

git clone https://github.com/praks7v/BloggersUnity.git
cd BloggersUnity

Building the Docker Image

To build the Docker image, make sure the Dockerfile at right location and run the following command:

docker build . -t bloggersunity:latest -f docker/Dockerfile

To build the Docker image using docker compose:

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml build

This command builds the Docker image and tags it as latest.

Running the Docker Container

To run the Docker container, use the following command:

docker run -p 8000:8000 bloggersunity:latest

To run the Docker container using docker compose, use the following command:

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yaml up

This command maps port 8000 in the container to port 8000 on your host machine. You can access the application by navigating to http://localhost:8000.

Pushing the Docker Image to Docker Hub

To push images to Docker Hub, you need to authenticate with your Docker Hub account. Use the docker login command:

docker login

To share your Docker image, you can push it to Docker Hub. First, tag your image with your Docker Hub repository name:

docker tag bloggersunity <your-dockerhub-username>/bloggersunity:latest

Then, push the image to Docker Hub:

docker push <your-dockerhub-username>/bloggersunity:latest

Pulling the Docker Image from Docker Hub

If you want to pull and run the Docker image from Docker Hub, use the following commands:

docker pull <your-dockerhub-username>/bloggersunity:latest
docker run -p 8000:8000 <your-dockerhub-username>/bloggersunity:latest

Docker Commands Summary Example

  • Build an image: 
    docker build -t myapp .
  • Run a container: 
    docker run -p 4000:80 myapp
  • Tag an image: 
    docker tag myapp your-dockerhub-username/myapp
  • Push an image to Docker Hub: 
    docker push your-dockerhub-username/myapp
  • Pull an image from Docker Hub: 
    docker pull your-dockerhub-username/myapp
  • List Docker images: 
    docker images
  • List running containers: 
    docker ps
  • Stop a running container: 
    docker stop <container_id>
  • Remove a Docker image: 
    docker rmi myapp

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure Docker is installed and running on your machine.
  • Check that the Dockerfile and application files are correctly set up.
  • Use docker logs <container_id> to view the logs if the container is not running as expected.
