Code files |
|
Show Slide:
Docker Images |
A Docker Image is an executable package.
It contains all the files and configurations needed for running an application. It allows developers to package applications along with all their dependencies. |
Show Slide:
Docker Containers |
A Docker container is a running instance of a Docker image.
Each container runs as an independent entity. There can be multiple instances of Docker containers for the same Docker image. Containers share the OS kernel with each other. On stopping a container, all the changes made are lost. |

Docker Process Flowchart |
This flowchart shows the process of downloading and running the mongodb image.
The image will be downloaded from Docker Hub. |
Show Slide:
Docker Process Flowchart Hover over Docker Hub block |
Docker Hub is an online Docker image registry.
An image registry is a storage location for Docker images. It allows the pull and push of images. |
Show Slide:
Docker Process Flowchart Hove over Docker Official Images block |
Docker Official images are a curated set of Docker repositories on Docker Hub.
Some of the official images are python, nodejs and mongo. |
Show Slide:
Docker Process Flowchart Hove over mongo block |
In this tutorial, we will pull the mongo official image.
We shall then run it to create a local mongodb database and connect to it. |
Show Slide:
Docker Process Flowchart Hove over Docker Container block |
Using the run command we will create a container for the image. |
Show Slide:
Docker Process Flowchart Hove over Port Mapping block |
We map port 27017 of the container to port 27017 on our system.
This allows us to access the application from our system. |
Only narration | Now we shall implement this process on our system. |
Open a terminal by pressing the keys Ctrl, Alt and T simultaneously.
Type the command sudo space docker space pull space mongo in the terminal. Press Enter. Enter your password if prompted. The image will start downloading. This step may take some time. Please wait for the download to complete. | |
Show slide:
Run Command |
In order to run the downloaded image, we will use the Docker run command.
This is the syntax for the run command. The run command creates a new container for the image specified. Additional flags can be provided to set parameters. These parameters can be container name, ports, mode of operation etc. If no name is specified, a random name is assigned. |
Switch to the terminal window. | To run the mongo image, type the command as shown.
mongo_commands.txt code file has the commands used in this tutorial.
You may copy and paste these commands in the terminal instead of typing. Remember to Press the Enter key after each command in the terminal. |
Highlight --name mongodb-container | To set the name of the container, we use the hyphen hyphen name flag.
Here we set the name of the container to mongodb hyphen container. |
Highlight | We can set environment variables for the application using the hyphen e flag.
Here we set the root user variable. It is MONGO underscore INITDB underscore ROOT underscore USERNAME. The value is mongouser. |
Highlight | Then we set the MONGO underscore INITDB underscore ROOT underscore PASSWORD variable.
This variable sets the root user password. The root user password here is mongopwd. We will use this password later when we connect to the mongodb database. |
Highlight -p 127.0.0.1:27017:27017 | Next, we need to bind the host port to the container port using the hyphen p flag.
Port binding is required to access the container application from our local system. The host port is specified first, followed by a colon, and then the container port. Here, the host port is 27017 and the container port is 27017. 127 dot 0 dot 0 dot 1 refers to the local host. We map port 27017 of the container to port 27017 on our system. This means that the mongodb database will be accessible on port 27017 on our system. |
Highlight -d | Then we use the hyphen d flag to run the container in detached mode.
Detached mode allows the container to run in the background. |
Highlight mongo
Press Enter |
Finally, we will specify the name of the image to be run. The name of the image is mongo. Press Enter to execute the command. |
Highlight the output of the command. | On executing the run command, we get the id of the container as the output. |
Type sudo docker ps | In order to view the running containers, we use the ps command.
Type sudo space docker space ps
Press Enter.
Enter the password if prompted |
Highlight the container id of the container mongodb-container. | You can see the details of the container we created earlier.
It shows the container id, image, command, status, ports and the name. The mongodb database is now running. |
Type | Now let us connect to this database using exec command.
Type the command as shown. |
Highlight mongo-container | Here the mongodb hyphen container is the Docker container running the mongodb database. |
Highlight mongosh | Mongosh is the command that we are executing.
Mongosh is a shell for interacting with the mongodb database. |
Highlight | Then we specify the username and password.
These were previously set in the run command. |
Press Enter. | Press Enter. |
Highlight test> | You will be connected to the test database. |
Type show dbs; and press Enter. | Type show space dbs semicolon and press Enter.
You can see the available databases now. These are admin, config and local. |
Type Ctrl + D keys simultaneously. | To exit the shell, press Ctrl and D keys simultaneously. |
In order to stop the mongodb container, we use the stop command.
Type sudo space docker space stop space mongodb hyphen container. Here mongodb hyphen container is the name of the container. Press Enter. | |
Type sudo docker ps -a and press Enter. | To verify that the container has been stopped, use the ps command.
Type sudo space docker space ps space hyphen a.
The hyphen a flag allows us to view all the containers on our system.
This includes stopped containers.
Press Enter.
|
Highlight the output. | The status exited denotes that the container has been stopped. |
Only narration. | In order to remove a container, we use the rm command. |
Type the command sudo docker rm mongodb-container
Highlight mongodb-container. Press Enter. |
Type the command as shown here.
The rm command is followed by the name of the container. Press Enter to execute the command. |
Type the command sudo docker ps -a and press Enter. | Now type sudo space docker space ps space hyphen a.
Press Enter. The container should be deleted and not be listed. |

Summary |
This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarise.
In this tutorial, we have learnt about
|
Show Slide: | As an assignment, please do the following:
|
Show slide: | The version of Python on my system is 3 point 10 point 12.
This version may be different for you. |
Show slide: | On executing the run command with the hyphen it flag, the Python shell will open.
We can run Python commands in this shell. The version of Python is displayed when the shell is opened. The version of Python in Docker image is 3 point 12 point 3. This version may be different for you. |
