Lab: Managing Docker Images

Introduction
In this lab, you will learn how to search, pull, push and remove container images from the
docker registry.
Objective:

 Search Image
 Pull Image
 Save/Load image
 Commit container state
 Export/Import Image
 Tag Image
 Cleanup

1 Ensure that you have logged-in as root user with password as linux.

1.1 Let us list the images, by executing the below command.

# docker image ls

Output:

1.2 Let us search image, by executing the below command.

# docker search alpine

Output:
1.3 Let us search image by applying the filter, by executing the below command.

# docker search alpine --filter=stars=100

Output:

1.4 Let us pull an image, by executing the below command.

# docker image pull alpine

Output:

Note: By default, pull will get the Official latest image from the Docker hub.

Output:

1.12 Let us remove the existing image to test loading the backup image, by executing the
below command.
# docker image rm alpine

Output:

1.13 Let us list the images, by executing the below command.

Output:

Docker Container Commit:

2.1 Let us run a container, by executing the below command.

# docker container run --name server01 -dit centos:7

Output:

2.2 Let us attach to the container to make few changes, by executing the below command.

# docker container attach server01


# yum -y install httpd
# touch /testFile
Press “ctrl+p ctrl+q” to come out

Output:
2.3 Let us commit the container state as a new image, by executing the below command.

2.5 Let us create a container out of new image, by executing the below command.

# docker container run --name server02 -dit centos:httpd


Output:

2.6 Let us verify the content of a newly created container, by executing the below command.

# docker container exec server02 ls -l /testFile


Output:
# docker container exec server02 rpm -q httpd
Output:

2.7 Let us check the difference made inside a container before the commit, by executing the
below command.

Output:

3 Docker Container Export and Image Import


3.1 Let us export a container state to capture the state of a container as a tar ball, by executing
the below command.
