# Build your own images
|
|
|
|
Docker images are the basis of containers. Each time you've used `docker run`
|
|
you told it which image you wanted. In the previous sections of the guide you
|
|
used Docker images that already exist, for example the `ubuntu` image and the
|
|
`training/webapp` image.
|
|
|
|
You also discovered that Docker stores downloaded images on the Docker host. If
|
|
an image isn't already present on the host then it'll be downloaded from a
|
|
registry: by default the [Docker Hub Registry](https://registry.hub.docker.com).
|
|
|
|
In this section you're going to explore Docker images a bit more
|
|
including:
|
|
|
|
* Managing and working with images locally on your Docker host.
|
|
* Creating basic images.
|
|
* Uploading images to [Docker Hub Registry](https://registry.hub.docker.com).
|
|
|
|
## Listing images on the host
|
|
|
|
Let's start with listing the images you have locally on our host. You can
|
|
do this using the `docker images` command like so:
|
|
|
|
$ docker images
|
|
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE
|
|
ubuntu 14.04 1d073211c498 3 days ago 187.9 MB
|
|
busybox latest 2c5ac3f849df 5 days ago 1.113 MB
|
|
training/webapp latest 54bb4e8718e8 5 months ago 348.7 MB
|
|
|
|
You can see the images you've previously used in the user guide.
|
|
Each has been downloaded from [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) when you
|
|
launched a container using that image. When you list images, you get three crucial pieces of information in the listing.
|
|
|
|
* What repository they came from, for example `ubuntu`.
|
|
* The tags for each image, for example `14.04`.
|
|
* The image ID of each image.
|
|
|
|
> **Tip:**
|
|
> You can use [a third-party dockviz tool](https://github.com/justone/dockviz)
|
|
> or the [Image layers site](https://imagelayers.io/) to display
|
|
> visualizations of image data.
|
|
|
|
A repository potentially holds multiple variants of an image. In the case of
|
|
our `ubuntu` image you can see multiple variants covering Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04,
|
|
12.10, 13.04, 13.10 and 14.04. Each variant is identified by a tag and you can
|
|
refer to a tagged image like so:
|
|
|
|
ubuntu:14.04
|
|
|
|
So when you run a container you refer to a tagged image like so:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -t -i ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
|
|
|
|
If instead you wanted to run an Ubuntu 12.04 image you'd use:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -t -i ubuntu:12.04 /bin/bash
|
|
|
|
If you don't specify a variant, for example you just use `ubuntu`, then Docker
|
|
will default to using the `ubuntu:latest` image.
|
|
|
|
> **Tip:**
|
|
> You should always specify an image tag, for example `ubuntu:14.04`.
|
|
> That way, you always know exactly what variant of an image you are using.
|
|
> This is useful for troubleshooting and debugging.
|
|
|
|
## Getting a new image
|
|
|
|
So how do you get new images? Well Docker will automatically download any image
|
|
you use that isn't already present on the Docker host. But this can potentially
|
|
add some time to the launch of a container. If you want to pre-load an image you
|
|
can download it using the `docker pull` command. Suppose you'd like to
|
|
download the `centos` image.
|
|
|
|
$ docker pull centos
|
|
Pulling repository centos
|
|
b7de3133ff98: Pulling dependent layers
|
|
5cc9e91966f7: Pulling fs layer
|
|
511136ea3c5a: Download complete
|
|
ef52fb1fe610: Download complete
|
|
. . .
|
|
|
|
Status: Downloaded newer image for centos
|
|
|
|
You can see that each layer of the image has been pulled down and now you
|
|
can run a container from this image and you won't have to wait to
|
|
download the image.
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -t -i centos /bin/bash
|
|
bash-4.1#
|
|
|
|
## Finding images
|
|
|
|
One of the features of Docker is that a lot of people have created Docker
|
|
images for a variety of purposes. Many of these have been uploaded to
|
|
[Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com). You can search these images on the
|
|
[Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) website.
|
|
|
|
![indexsearch](search.png)
|
|
|
|
You can also search for images on the command line using the `docker search`
|
|
command. Suppose your team wants an image with Ruby and Sinatra installed on
|
|
which to do our web application development. You can search for a suitable image
|
|
by using the `docker search` command to find all the images that contain the
|
|
term `sinatra`.
|
|
|
|
$ docker search sinatra
|
|

|

|
|
. . .
|
|
|
|
You can see the command returns a lot of images that use the term `sinatra`.
|
|
You've received a list of image names, descriptions, Stars (which measure the
|
|
social popularity of images - if a user likes an image then they can "star" it),
|
|
and the Official and Automated build statuses. [Official
|
|
Repositories](https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/official_repos) are a carefully
|
|
curated set of Docker repositories supported by Docker, Inc. Automated
|
|
repositories are [Automated Builds](dockerrepos.md#automated-builds) that allow
|
|
you to validate the source and content of an image.
|
|
|
|
You've reviewed the images available to use and you decided to use the
|
|
`training/sinatra` image. So far you've seen two types of images repositories,
|
|
images like `ubuntu`, which are called base or root images. These base images
|
|
are provided by Docker Inc and are built, validated and supported. These can be
|
|
identified by their single word names.
|
|
|
|
You've also seen user images, for example the `training/sinatra` image you've
|
|
chosen. A user image belongs to a member of the Docker community and is built
|
|
and maintained by them. You can identify user images as they are always
|
|
prefixed with the user name, here `training`, of the user that created them.
|
|
|
|
## Pulling our image
|
|
|
|
You've identified a suitable image, `training/sinatra`, and now you can download it using the `docker pull` command.
|
|
|
|
$ docker pull training/sinatra
|
|
|
|
The team can now use this image by running their own containers.
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -t -i training/sinatra /bin/bash
|
|
root@a8cb6ce02d85:/#
|
|
|
|
## Creating our own images
|
|
|
|
The team has found the `training/sinatra` image pretty useful but it's not quite
|
|
what they need and you need to make some changes to it. There are two ways you
|
|
can update and create images.
|
|
|
|
1. You can update a container created from an image and commit the results to an image.
|
|
2. You can use a `Dockerfile` to specify instructions to create an image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Updating and committing an image
|
|
|
|
To update an image you first need to create a container from the image
|
|
you'd like to update.
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -t -i training/sinatra /bin/bash
|
|
root@0b2616b0e5a8:/#
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> Take note of the container ID that has been created, `0b2616b0e5a8`, as you'll
|
|
> need it in a moment.
|
|
|
|
Inside our running container let's add the `json` gem.
|
|
|
|
root@0b2616b0e5a8:/# gem install json
|
|
|
|
Once this has completed let's exit our container using the `exit`
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
Now you have a container with the change you want to make. You can then
|
|
commit a copy of this container to an image using the `docker commit`
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
$ docker commit -m "Added json gem" -a "Kate Smith" \
|
|
0b2616b0e5a8 ouruser/sinatra:v2
|
|
4f177bd27a9ff0f6dc2a830403925b5360bfe0b93d476f7fc3231110e7f71b1c
|
|
|
|
Here you've used the `docker commit` command. You've specified two flags: `-m`
|
|
and `-a`. The `-m` flag allows us to specify a commit message, much like you
|
|
would with a commit on a version control system. The `-a` flag allows us to
|
|
specify an author for our update.
|
|
|
|
You've also specified the container you want to create this new image from,
|
|
`0b2616b0e5a8` (the ID you recorded earlier) and you've specified a target for
|
|
the image:
|
|
|
|
ouruser/sinatra:v2
|
|
|
|
Break this target down. It consists of a new user, `ouruser`, that you're
|
|
writing this image to. You've also specified the name of the image, here you're
|
|
keeping the original image name `sinatra`. Finally you're specifying a tag for
|
|
the image: `v2`.
|
|
|
|
You can then look at our new `ouruser/sinatra` image using the `docker images`
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
$ docker images
|
|
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE
|
|
training/sinatra latest 5bc342fa0b91 10 hours ago 446.7 MB
|
|

|
|
ouruser/sinatra latest 5db5f8471261 10 hours ago 446.7 MB
|
|
|
|
To use our new image to create a container you can then:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -t -i ouruser/sinatra:v2 /bin/bash
|
|
root@78e82f680994:/#
|
|
|
|
### Building an image from a `Dockerfile`
|
|
|
|
Using the `docker commit` command is a pretty simple way of extending an image
|
|
but it's a bit cumbersome and it's not easy to share a development process for
|
|
images amongst a team. Instead you can use a new command, `docker build`, to
|
|
build new images from scratch.
|
|
|
|
To do this you create a `Dockerfile` that contains a set of instructions that
|
|
tell Docker how to build our image.
|
|
|
|
First, create a directory and a `Dockerfile`.
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir sinatra
|
|
$ cd sinatra
|
|
$ touch Dockerfile
|
|
|
|
If you are using Docker Machine on Windows, you may access your host
|
|
directory by `cd` to `/c/Users/your_user_name`.
|
|
|
|
Each instruction creates a new layer of the image. Try a simple example now for
|
|
building your own Sinatra image for your fictitious development team.
|
|

MAINTAINER Kate Smith <ksmith@example.com>
|
|
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y ruby ruby-dev
|
|
RUN gem install sinatra
|
|
|
|
Examine what your `Dockerfile` does. Each instruction prefixes a statement and
|
|
is capitalized.
|
|
|
|
INSTRUCTION statement
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** You use `#` to indicate a comment
|
|
|
|
The first instruction `FROM` tells Docker what the source of our image is, in
|
|
this case you're basing our new image on an Ubuntu 14.04 image. The instruction uses the `MAINTAINER` instruction to specify who maintains the new image.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, you've specified two `RUN` instructions. A `RUN` instruction executes
|
|
a command inside the image, for example installing a package. Here you're
|
|
updating our APT cache, installing Ruby and RubyGems and then installing the
|
|
Sinatra gem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now let's take our `Dockerfile` and use the `docker build` command to build an image.
|
|
|
|
$ docker build -t ouruser/sinatra:v2 .

|
Removing intermediate container 6b81cb6313e5
|
|
Successfully built 97feabe5d2ed
|
|
|
|
You've specified our `docker build` command and used the `-t` flag to identify
|
|
our new image as belonging to the user `ouruser`, the repository name `sinatra`
|
|
and given it the tag `v2`.
|
|
|
|
You've also specified the location of our `Dockerfile` using the `.` to
|
|
indicate a `Dockerfile` in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> You can also specify a path to a `Dockerfile`.
|
|
|
|
Now you can see the build process at work. The first thing Docker does is
|
|
upload the build context: basically the contents of the directory you're
|
|
building in. This is done because the Docker daemon does the actual
|
|
build of the image and it needs the local context to do it.
|
|
|
|
Next you can see each instruction in the `Dockerfile` being executed
|
|
step-by-step. You can see that each step creates a new container, runs
|
|
the instruction inside that container and then commits that change -
|
|
just like the `docker commit` work flow you saw earlier. When all the
|
|
instructions have executed you're left with the `97feabe5d2ed` image
|
|
(also helpfully tagged as `ouruser/sinatra:v2`) and all intermediate
|
|
containers will get removed to clean things up.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> An image can't have more than 127 layers regardless of the storage driver.
|
|
> This limitation is set globally to encourage optimization of the overall
|
|
> size of images.
|
|
|
|
You can then create a container from our new image.
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -t -i ouruser/sinatra:v2 /bin/bash
|
|
root@8196968dac35:/#
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> This is just a brief introduction to creating images. We've
|
|
> skipped a whole bunch of other instructions that you can use. We'll see more of
|
|
> those instructions in later sections of the Guide or you can refer to the
|
|
> [`Dockerfile`](../reference/builder.md) reference for a
|
|
> detailed description and examples of every instruction.
|
|
> To help you write a clear, readable, maintainable `Dockerfile`, you've also
|
|
> written a [`Dockerfile` Best Practices guide](../articles/dockerfile_best-practices.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setting tags on an image
|
|
|
|
You can also add a tag to an existing image after you commit or build it. We
|
|
can do this using the `docker tag` command. Now, add a new tag to your
|
|
`ouruser/sinatra` image.
|
|
|
|
$ docker tag 5db5f8471261 ouruser/sinatra:devel
|
|
|
|
The `docker tag` command takes the ID of the image, here `5db5f8471261`, and our
|
|
user name, the repository name and the new tag.
|
|
|
|
Now, see your new tag using the `docker images` command.
|
|
|
|
$ docker images ouruser/sinatra
|
|
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE
|
|
ouruser/sinatra latest 5db5f8471261 11 hours ago 446.7 MB
|
|
ouruser/sinatra devel 5db5f8471261 11 hours ago 446.7 MB
|
|
ouruser/sinatra v2 5db5f8471261 11 hours ago 446.7 MB
|
|
|
|
## Image Digests
|
|
|
|
Images that use the v2 or later format have a content-addressable identifier
|
|
called a `digest`. As long as the input used to generate the image is
|
|
unchanged, the digest value is predictable. To list image digest values, use
|
|
the `--digests` flag:
|
|
|
|
$ docker images --digests | head
|
|
REPOSITORY TAG DIGEST IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE
|
|
ouruser/sinatra latest sha256:cbbf2f9a99b47fc460d422812b6a5adff7dfee951d8fa2e4a98caa0382cfbdbf 5db5f8471261 11 hours ago 446.7 MB
|
|
|
|
When pushing or pulling to a 2.0 registry, the `push` or `pull` command
|
|
output includes the image digest. You can `pull` using a digest value.
|
|
|
|
$ docker pull ouruser/sinatra@cbbf2f9a99b47fc460d422812b6a5adff7dfee951d8fa2e4a98caa0382cfbdbf
|
|
|
|
You can also reference by digest in `create`, `run`, and `rmi` commands, as well as the
|
|
`FROM` image reference in a Dockerfile.
|
|
|
|
## Push an image to Docker Hub
|
|
|
|
Once you've built or created a new image you can push it to [Docker
|
|
Hub](https://hub.docker.com) using the `docker push` command. This
|
|
allows you to share it with others, either publicly, or push it into [a
|
|
private repository](https://registry.hub.docker.com/plans/).
|
|
|
|
$ docker push ouruser/sinatra
|
|
The push refers to a repository [ouruser/sinatra] (len: 1)
|
|
Sending image list
|
|
Pushing repository ouruser/sinatra (3 tags)
|
|
. . .
|
|
|
|
## Remove an image from the host
|
|
|
|
You can also remove images on your Docker host in a way [similar to
|
|
containers](usingdocker.md) using the `docker rmi` command.
|
|
|
|
Delete the `training/sinatra` image as you don't need it anymore.
|
|
|
|
$ docker rmi training/sinatra
|
|
Untagged: training/sinatra:latest
