Information

  • A hybrid-source application designed to deploy nested-virtual machines that are containerized applications.

Cheatsheet

  • Basic CLI (Command-line interface)
    • Container Management Commands
      • docker create $image [-command] - Create a Docker Container based upon the image String; -command for additional flags.
      • docker run $image [-command] - Combines the command create and start.
      • docker start $cont - Start the specific docker container (defined via cont String).
      • docker stop $cont - Shutdown the specific docker container (defined via cont String).
      • docker kill $cont - Kill the specific docker container (defined via cont String).
      • docker restart $cont - Restart the specific docker container (defined via cont String).
      • docker pause $cont - Pause the specific docker container (defined via cont String).
      • docker rm $cont - Remove the specific docker container (defined via cont String).
    • Inspecting Containers
      • docker ps - List running docker containers.
      • docker ps -a - List all docker containers, including docker containers that are paused / off.
      • docker logs $cont - Display the specific docker container output (defined via cont String)
      • docker top $cont [-ps] - Display the processes running inside the specific docker container (defined via cont String).
      • docker diff $cont - Show the differences, within the modified files, between the specific container and the source image (defined via cont String).
      • docker inspect $cont - Show information about the specific docker container (defined via cont String).
        • Output of the data will default to json.
    • Interacting with Containers
      • docker attach $cont - Attach to the specific docker container and see the stdin, stdout, stderr (defined via cont String)
      • docker cp $cont:$path $hostpath - Copy files from the docker container.
      • docker cp $hostpath $cont:$path - Copy files into the docker container.
      • docker export $cont - Export the data of the specific docker container.
        • Output of the data will default to a tar archive.
      • docker exec $cont $command - Runs the $command inside of the specific docker container (defined via cont String).
      • docker wait $cont - Waits until the specific docker container terminates and returns an exit code.
      • docker commit $cont $image - Commits a new docker image via a snapshot of the specific docker container.
    • Network
      • docker network create $netname - Create a network with the variable $netname.
    • Docker Compose
      • docker compose start - Start a YAML configuration for a docker container.
      • docker compose stop - Stop the most recent composed docker container.
      • docker compose pause - Pause the most recent composed docker container.
      • docker compose unpause - Unpause the most rencent composed docker container.
      • docker compose ps - List the current docker containers
      • docker compose up -f $compose.yml [$command] - Start and run a YAML configuration for a docker container.
      • docker compose down - Down a composed docker container.
    • Docker Swarm
      • docker swarm init - The docker container will become a manager node within the initialized container.
        • Upon the initialization instance, the container will provide a token for other worker/manager nodes to join.
      • docker swarm join --token $token $ip - Docker container will join the swarm as a worker; token string should be obtained by init and the $ip should be IP Address and port.
        • $ip will be given as $$ipaddress:$$port , where the substring $$ipaddress is the IPv4address or IPv6address and the substring $$port is the open port on that $$ipaddress.
    • Docker Prune / Clean up
      • docker system prune - The docker system will clean up any dead objects, such as containers, networks, ect..
        • docker system prune -a - Incase you need to do a deep clean within the docker node.

DockerFile

  • The DockerFile is a simple document that assembles the docker image using a specific base and a set of commands.

  • The idea being that the docker image is an isolated operating system for the specific application, with all the libraries required to be pre-install / pre-built.

  • FROM

    • There are 3 generic ways to use FROM :
      • FROM {image}
      • FROM {image}:{tag}
      • FROM {image}@{digest}
        • The {image} would be the base image title / reference.
        • The {tag} would be the version tag, if a specific version is required, such as node:16 or node:16-bullseye
        • The {digest} would be the sha-256 hash, used to verify the integrity of the application.

  • MAINTAINER

  • RUN

  • CMD

  • LABEL

  • ENV

  • ADD

  • COPY

  • ENTRYPOINT

  • VOLUME

  • USER

  • WORKDIR

  • ARG

  • ONBUILD

  • STOPSIGNAL

    • The STOPSIGNAL sets the system call signal that would stop the container / application from running.
    • The default setting is to send SIGTERM and wait for 10s to gracefully shutdown the then send the SIGKILL.

  • HEALTHCHECK

    • The concept of HEALTHCHECK is to provide the health of the container, letting the swarm or manager know the general status of the operating application.
    • The two main terms within the HEALTHCHECK are healthy and unhealthy

GPU

  • Windows
    • GPU pass-through is still in the experimental stage but here are some quick ways to get the basics going.
    • We are assuming that you have WSL on the windows instance. For WSL Help
      • Nvidia
        • Install the latest CUDA driver libraries from their official website. Nvidia CUDA
        • If the latest core that you installed was

Docker Install

  • Ubuntu Installation Guide
    • Core Pre-Installation
      • lsb_release -a - Unix command to see the version of Ubuntu that we are running.
      • According to Docker (2022), these are the 64-bit versions of Ubuntu that they support.
        • Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 (LTS)
        • Ubuntu Impish 21.10
        • Ubuntu Focal 20.04 (LTS)
        • Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 (LTS)
      • Hint: We like to make sure everything is updated and upgraded before we start. So run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade.
      • Now there are libraries that you will need before installing docker.
    • Post Installation
      • Adding Docker Compose through sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin, you may need to update before installing.
      • Verifying the installation through docker compose version and if there are any issues, visit our support.

Notes

  • Docker Output JSON (helpful for debugging)
    • result=$(curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http://localhost/containers/json --silent 2>&1) && echo $result
      • This will grab the current docker-instance information and return it in JSON format.
  • Docker notes will be added for later reference

Official Notes for the Beta Desktop

I am still test casing it locally, one of the cool aspects would be to run Edge WASI/WASM through Portainer.
