Docker Up and Running : Basics

[Don Horrell]

Hi Sean and Karl.

Does the book cover the basics of writing Dockerfiles etc. or is it mainly about the productionising aspects?


Thanks
Don.

There is discussion about some good practices for building containers and what to think about when containerizing an application: both on the application side and on the container image side. We don't walk through every command available in Dockerfiles because the Docker docs are pretty good on this topic.

You can see the Table of Contents for the 3rd edition on this page (you'll need to expand the tab):

If you look at Chapter 4, that will give you some idea of the topics we cover, which directly relate to building images.
