Docker Up & Running



Docker:
Docker allows you to package applications and infrastructure into self-contained silos called containers that can distributed and run.

  • Registry is an application that hosts repositories
  • Repository stores docker images
  • Images are definitions from which containers can be created
  • Container is a running instance of an image
To Build images you can start with an existing docker image make changes and commit the changes to a new image. Alternatively you  can create a DockerFile and build the image from the definition contained in the DockerFile .

Windows currently does not support docker so you will have to use boot2docker to interact with docker on a Windows based PC. boot2docker leverages a VirtualBox base Linux VM.
SSH to boot2docker VM:
$ boot2docker ssh
Interact with docker from boot2docker :
$ docker [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]

docker :
$ docker [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]
Run Asp.Net vNext container.
docker run -it -p 8080:5004 centos_aspnet_vnext bash -c "source ~/.dnx/dnvm/dnvm.sh && dnx usr/local/lib/Home/samples/latest/HelloMvc kestrel"
docker run -d -p 5004:5004 centos_aspnet_vnext

-- The Problem -- It never ceases to amaze me that with all the innovations we have made that human communication, especially in a technical setting, is still inherently flawed. In physics we learn that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, yet communication in organizations rarely follow this fundamental rule. The result is the inevitable attenuation of information as messages are relayed form one intermediary to the next. In the best case the signal simply loses fidelity in the worst case it is altered completely or lost entirely.  Conjugate the bias of the sender, the recipient and the intermediaries and you have a colossal n! problem. An entire niche industry has emerged trying to address this issue. Popular communication tools like Slack have helped to improve and encourage peer to peer communication but sometimes at the  expense of an information overload. Independent agents all operating at different levels of aptitude are now forced to ...
