# Engine user guide
|
|
|
|
This guide takes you through the fundamentals of using Docker Engine and
|
|
integrating it into your environment. You'll learn how to use Engine to:
|
|
|
|
* Dockerize your applications.
|
|
* Run your own containers.
|
|
* Build Docker images.
|
|
* Share your Docker images with others.
|
|
* And a whole lot more!
|
|
|
|
This guide is broken into major sections that take you through learning the basics of Docker Engine and the other Docker products that support it.
|
|
|
|
## Dockerizing applications: A "Hello world"
|
|
|
|
*How do I run applications inside containers?*
|
|
|
|
Docker Engine offers a containerization platform to power your applications. To
|
|
learn how to Dockerize applications and run them:
|
|
|
|
Go to [Dockerizing Applications](containers/dockerizing.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Working with containers
|
|
|
|
*How do I manage my containers?*
|
|
|
|
Once you get a grip on running your applications in Docker containers, you'll learn how to manage those containers. To find out
|
|
about how to inspect, monitor and manage containers:
|
|
|
|
Go to [Working with Containers](containers/usingdocker.md).
|
|
|
|
## Working with Docker images
|
|
|
|
*How can I access, share and build my own images?*
|
|
|
|
Once you've learnt how to use Docker it's time to take the next step and
|
|
learn how to build your own application images with Docker.
|
|
|
|
Go to [Working with Docker Images](containers/dockerimages.md).
|
|
|
|
## Networking containers
|
|
|
|
Until now we've seen how to build individual applications inside Docker
|
|
containers. Now learn how to build whole application stacks with Docker
|
|
networking.
|
|
|
|
Go to [Networking Containers](containers/networkingcontainers.md).
|
|
|
|
## Managing data in containers
|
|
|
|
Now we know how to link Docker containers together the next step is
|
|
learning how to manage data, volumes and mounts inside our containers.
|
|
|
|
Go to [Managing Data in Containers](containers/dockervolumes.md).
|
|
|
|
## Docker products that complement Engine
|
|
|
|
Often, one powerful technology spawns many other inventions that make that easier to get to, easier to use, and more powerful. These spawned things share one common characteristic: they augment the central technology. The following Docker products expand on the core Docker Engine functions.
|
|
|
|
### Docker Hub
|
|
|
|
Docker Hub is the central hub for Docker. It hosts public Docker images
|
|
and provides services to help you build and manage your Docker
|
|
environment. To learn more:
|
|
|
|
Go to [Using Docker Hub](https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub).
|
|
|
|
### Docker Machine
|
|
|
|
Docker Machine helps you get Docker Engines up and running quickly. Machine
|
|
can set up hosts for Docker Engines on your computer, on cloud providers,
|
|
and/or in your data center, and then configure your Docker client to securely
|
|
talk to them.
|
|
|
|
Go to [Docker Machine user guide](https://docs.docker.com/machine/).
|
|
|
|
### Docker Compose
|
|
|
|
Docker Compose allows you to define a application's components -- their containers,
|
|
configuration, links and volumes -- in a single file. Then a single command
|
|
will set everything up and start your application running.
|
|
|
|
Go to [Docker Compose user guide](https://docs.docker.com/compose/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Docker Swarm
|
|
|
|
Docker Swarm pools several Docker Engines together and exposes them as a single
|
|
virtual Docker Engine. It serves the standard Docker API, so any tool that already
|
|
works with Docker can now transparently scale up to multiple hosts.
|
|
|
|
Go to [Docker Swarm user guide](https://docs.docker.com/swarm/).
