When I went through it, it seemed pretty good. It looks like they have updated it as Docker has been changing (maturing?). I remember at first there was some confusion for me about the difference between creating an image and a container, and what is done in each of those phases. It all made more sense once I really understood the difference.<div><br></div><div>After the tutorial, I found it useful to go on hub.docker.com and search for applications I was interested in, and then look at how they did their Dockerfile configs. There are tons of examples--of course some are better than others and some contain worst practices, but there are a lot of ideas and the higher rated ones seem mostly pretty good.</div><div><br></div><div>I had the advantage of already seeing an hour presentation at the Devnexus conference. There are a bunch of similar ones out there on youtube, but as you noted some material is out of date.</div><div><br></div><div>Scott</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><span name="x"></span>-- <br>Scott Plante, CTO<br>Insight Systems, Inc.<br>(+1) 404 873 0058 x104<br>splante@insightsys.com<br>http://zyross.com<br><br><span name="x"></span></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Kyle Brieden" <kyle@txmoose.com><br><b>To: </b>ale@ale.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, April 6, 2017 9:52:44 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>[ale] Does anyone have any experience actually running Docker?<br><br>So I keep hearing just how awesome and wonderful and life-changing <br>Docker is, but no one online seems to want to actually tell me how to <br>USE it. All the documentation I've found thus far either:<br><br>A) Makes assumptions about your environment, then fails to describe how <br>to translate concepts to other environments<br>B) Assumes you're already well versed in the basics, so starts at 80MPH<br>C) Was written in 2014 or earlier<br><br>I understand the concept, and I appreciate *why* containers are <br>fundamentally different than VMs, I just want to be able to actually <br>"Dockerize" an application.<br><br>I just want a MySQL container, a uWSGI/Django container, and an Nginx <br>container, but how do I go about getting those? How do I get my code <br>into that container? Is anyone a docker expert or does anyone have a "0 <br>to 45MPH docker crash course?" I'm not looking for full out <br>enterprise-ready production, here. Just want to learn enough to get my <br>app off the ground on my own docker host, then understand enough to push <br>it up into something like AWS ECS or something.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>---<br>Very respectfully,<br>Kyle Brieden<br>_______________________________________________<br>Ale mailing list<br>Ale@ale.org<br>http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale<br>See JOBS, ANNOUNCE and SCHOOLS lists at<br>http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo<br></div><br></div></div></body></html>
