    The document provides instructions for installing and using Docker Desktop and running basic Docker commands. It explains that containers are isolated environments with their own processors, networks, and mounts that share the host OS kernel. Examples shown include running prebuilt images for a whale diagram and Nginx web server, listing running and stopped containers, and running Nginx in detached mode with a sleep command to illustrate that containers run as long as their main process is active. The document recommends practicing additional Docker commands in preparation for working with Kubernetes and Jenkins.

    Install Window-Docker.

    Once installed successfully, you should see a icon like this below in your desktop
    tray. When you mouse hover, it should say Docker Desktop is running

    Go to the command prompt and type

    docker version

    It will display the docker version details.

    Containers are completely isolated environment. They have their own Processors, Networks, and
    Mounts, except that they share their own OS Kernels.

    Try running the below commands.

    docker run docker/whalesay cowsay Hello-World!

    When you run the above command, it will first check whether you have any image in your local, if not, it
    will try to download it and run it. This will display a diagram like whale and display the txt Hello World.

    It is nothing but an already build Java Program, which someone has already uploaded to the docker
    repository.

    docker run nginx

    Running the above command, will download and run the ngnix command.

    To display all the running container.

    docker ps

    The above displays like below, it doesn’t show anything which run before.
    Run now -> docker ps -a

    This will display the screen like below, which shows all the images which you ran before.

    The reason is:

    The containers are not meant to run operating system, it is meant to do a specific task, process, web
    server or application server. Once the task is completed, it is existed. The container lives as long as
    the process is alive.

    docker run -d nginx sleep 20

    -d is to detach the command execution, so that you can use the same command prompt.

    After executing the above command. Now run docker ps

    You can see that nginx is now running, since you have provided the command sleep 20. After 20
    seconds, if you run the ps command you will see no container running.

    Browse for other docker commands in the net and practice, which is really needed for further work on
    Kubernetes and Jenkins.
