Check your Docker install
-------------------------
This guide assumes you have a working installation of Docker. To check
your Docker install, run the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
# Check that you have a working install
docker info
If you get ``docker: command not found`` or something like
``/var/lib/docker/repositories: permission denied`` you may have an incomplete
Docker installation or insufficient privileges to access docker on your machine.
Please refer to :ref:`installation_list` for installation instructions.
.. _hello_world:
Hello World
===========
.. include:: example_header.inc
This is the most basic example available for using Docker.
Download the base image which is named ``ubuntu``:
.. code-block:: bash
# Download an ubuntu image
sudo docker pull ubuntu
Alternatively to the ``ubuntu`` image, you can select ``busybox``, a bare
minimal Linux system. The images are retrieved from the Docker
repository.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker run ubuntu /bin/echo hello world
This command will run a simple ``echo`` command, that will echo ``hello world`` back to the console over standard out.
**Explanation:**
- **"sudo"** execute the following commands as user *root*
- **"docker run"** run a command in a new container
- **"ubuntu"** is the image we want to run the command inside of.
- **"/bin/echo"** is the command we want to run in the container
- **"hello world"** is the input for the echo command

.. _hello_world_daemon:
Hello World Daemon
==================
.. include:: example_header.inc
And now for the most boring daemon ever written!
We will use the Ubuntu image to run a simple hello world daemon that will just print hello
world to standard out every second. It will continue to do this until
we stop it.
**Steps:**
.. code-block:: bash
CONTAINER_ID=$(sudo docker run -d ubuntu /bin/sh -c "while true; do echo hello world; sleep 1; done")
We are going to run a simple hello world daemon in a new container
made from the ``ubuntu`` image.
- **"sudo docker run -d "** run a command in a new container. We pass "-d"
so it runs as a daemon.
- **"ubuntu"** is the image we want to run the command inside of.
- **"/bin/sh -c"** is the command we want to run in the container
- **"while true; do echo hello world; sleep 1; done"** is the mini
script we want to run, that will just print hello world once a
second until we stop it.
- **$CONTAINER_ID** the output of the run command will return a
container id, we can use in future commands to see what is going on
with this process.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker logs $CONTAINER_ID
Check the logs make sure it is working correctly.
- **"docker logs**" This will return the logs for a container
- **$CONTAINER_ID** The Id of the container we want the logs for.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker attach -sig-proxy=false $CONTAINER_ID
Attach to the container to see the results in real-time.
- **"docker attach**" This will allow us to attach to a background
process to see what is going on.
- **"-sig-proxy=false"** Do not forward signals to the container; allows
us to exit the attachment using Control-C without stopping the container.
- **$CONTAINER_ID** The Id of the container we want to attach too.
Exit from the container attachment by pressing Control-C.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker ps
Check the process list to make sure it is running.
- **"docker ps"** this shows all running process managed by docker
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker stop $CONTAINER_ID
Stop the container, since we don't need it anymore.
- **"docker stop"** This stops a container
- **$CONTAINER_ID** The Id of the container we want to stop.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker ps
Make sure it is really stopped.
