If you are interested in Docker, you have come to the right place. This blog post is meant
to help you understand and successfully work with the famous software containerization platform.
We have asked our developer who is also the author of cache segments and cache in Drupal 7,
to share some useful links about Docker. Here we go!
Some useful links about using Docker
Getting started with Docker (a base for a quick start is described here). Docker installation and configuration. Running your first container. Log tracking. Building a server with Dockerfile.
Getting Started with Docker for Mac. A step-by-step guide to quickly install and start running Docker on Mac.
Docker and working with it. The basics of Docker, containers, hypervisors, CoreOS. The key things that are required for work and facilitate Docker use.
Docker toolbox. An installer to quickly and easily install and configure Docker environment on your PC (Windows, Mac).
Learning Docker. See how to use Docker containers, consistently deploy applications on any infrastructure, step-by-step instructions, videos, articles.
How To Install and Use Docker on Ubuntu 16.04. Ubuntu upgrade to 16.04 version being very popular, I think it will be interesting to read about the ins and outs of installing and using Docker on this OS. Generally, the article consists of a step-by-step guide:
- Step 1: Installing Docker
- Step 2: Executing the Docker Command Without Sudo (Optional)
- Step 3: Using the Docker Command
- Step 4: Working with Docker Images
- Step 5: Running a Docker Container
- Step 6: Committing Changes in a Container to a Docker Image
- Step 7: Listing Docker Containers
- Step 8: Pushing Docker Images to a Docker Repository
It’s a good article which covers a lot of material.

And, of course, a big official resource where you can see documentation and much more.
Videos about Docker
A video channel on youtube
The official video channel by the creators of Docker. It helps you always be up-to-date on the tool and never miss new developments, as well as ways and techniques of using the tool.
- Automatic packaging and deployment of applications
- Creating light, private PaaS environments
- Automatic testing and continuous integration/deployment
- Deployment and scaling of web applications, databases and backend services.
A series of videos telling in details what Docker is, where and how it can be applied. Different approaches and methods of use, best practices and many other interesting details are covered in these videos.
This is the Container Camp channel. Here you can find videos from the international series of conferences about containers. For more information, visit container.camp or follow on Twitter @containercamp.
Containers and their importance
A discussion with representatives CoreOS, VMware and Google.
DOCKER FUNDAMENTALS. This course provides practical instructions for getting started with Docker. It includes information on how to create Dockerfiles, build, manage, and share Docker images, container settings. There is also an example of continuous integration.
A bunch of videos that describe the following:
- The Docker platform basics, including a review of platform components, images, containers and repositories
- How to create Dockerfiles, work with Docker images, container settings. There is also an example of continuous integration
- Best practices in the performance and the troubleshooting of containers.
