Docker Architecture
Before learning the Docker architecture, first, you should know about the
Docker Daemon.

What is Docker daemon?

Docker daemon runs on the host operating system. It is responsible for


running containers to manage docker services. Docker daemon
communicates with other daemons. It offers various Docker objects such
as images, containers, networking, and storage. s

Docker architecture

Docker follows Client-Server architecture, which includes the three main


components that are Docker Client, Docker Host, and Docker
Registry.

1. Docker Client

Docker client uses commands and REST APIs to communicate with the
Docker Daemon (Server). When a client runs any docker command on the
docker client terminal, the client terminal sends these docker commands
to the Docker daemon. Docker daemon receives these commands from
the docker client in the form of command and REST API's request.

Note: Docker Client has an ability to communicate with


more than one docker daemon.

Docker Client uses Command Line Interface (CLI) to run the following
commands -

docker build

docker pull

docker run

2. Docker Host

Docker Host is used to provide an environment to execute and run


applications. It contains the docker daemon, images, containers,
networks, and storage.

3. Docker Registry

Docker Registry manages and stores the Docker images.

There are two types of registries in the Docker -

Pubic Registry - Public Registry is also called as Docker hub.

Private Registry - It is used to share images within the enterprise.

Docker Objects

There are the following Docker Objects -

Docker Images

Docker images are the read-only binary templates used to create


Docker Containers. It uses a private container registry to share container
images within the enterprise and also uses public container registry to
share container images within the whole world. Metadata is also used by
docket images to describe the container's abilities.

Docker Containers

Containers are the structural units of Docker, which is used to hold the
entire package that is needed to run the application. The advantage of
containers is that it requires very less resources.

In other words, we can say that the image is a template, and the container
is a copy of that template.

Docker Networking

Using Docker Networking, an isolated package can be communicated.


Docker contains the following network drivers -

Bridge - Bridge is a default network driver for the container. It is


used when multiple docker communicates with the same docker
host.
Host - It is used when we don't need for network isolation
between the container and the host.
None - It disables all the networking.
Overlay - Overlay offers Swarm services to communicate with
each other. It enables containers to run on the different docker
host.
Macvlan - Macvlan is used when we want to assign MAC
addresses to the containers.

Docker Storage

Docker Storage is used to store data on the container. Docker offers the
following options for the Storage -

Data Volume - Data Volume provides the ability to create


persistence storage. It also allows us to name volumes, list
volumes, and containers associates with the volumes.
Directory Mounts - It is one of the best options for docker
storage. It mounts a host's directory into a container.
Storage Plugins - It provides an ability to connect to external
storage platforms.
