Dockerfile, Create your own container image

Dockerfle is a very important concept to create you own container image. However there are lots of images available on docker hub but these are standard images and creators of these images are not aware about our requirement and environment. In this situation we need our own images. There are two way to create your own container images.

  • docker commit - We can create our own images using 'docker commit' command but only limited feature available in this approach. In below command centos is my existing container name and webserver:v1 is my new image name and version.
[root@server109 docker-ws]# docker pull centos
[root@server109 docker-ws]# docker container commit centos webserver:v1
  • docker build - A powerful approach to create a container image, We can customize our image as more as customization required. This approach is also known as Dockerfile approach.
As of now I have below images available in my environment but I need an image which has net-tools, httpd, python36 packages installed and when we launch it python prompt is available to any python code.
[root@server109 docker-ws]# docker image ls
REPOSITORY    TAG                   IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
httpd                    latest                b2c2ab6dcf2e         2 weeks ago         166MB
mysql                  5.7                   413be204e9c3        5 weeks ago         456MB
ubuntu                14.04               6e4f1fe62ff1          4 months ago        197MB
centos                 7                     5e35e350aded         5 months ago        203MB
wordpress           5.1.1-php7.3-apache   a69f6702fdda    12 months ago       422MB

So let's start to create our own image-
Step 1:- Pull a standard image from docker hub
[root@server109 docker-ws]# docker pull centos

Step 2:- Prepare Dockerfile, Dockerfile is not name of any technology. It is just name of a text file in which we put our requirement and pass this file as input in docker image build / docker build command.
[root@server109 docker-ws]# mkdir /root/docker-ws
[root@server109 docker-ws]# cd /root/docker-ws/
[root@server109 docker-ws]# pwd
/root/docker-ws
[root@server109 docker-ws]# cat > Dockerfile
FROM centos
RUN yum install net-tools httpd python36 -y
CMD python3

 Step 3:- Create/Build the image
[root@server109 docker-ws]# docker image ls |grep customized_centos
[root@server109 docker-ws]# docker image build -t customized_centos:v1 /root/docker-ws/
Sending build context to Docker daemon  2.048kB
Step 1/3 : FROM centos

That's all, have a look on last command output. Your own image has been created. You can start using it. I added very few requirements in Dockerfile to make it easy to understand but you can put as per your requirement.

Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted

" Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted " - systemctl command is not working in Docker container. If systemctl command is not working in your container and giving subjected error message then simple solution of this error is, create container with -- privileged option and also provide init file full path  /usr/sbin/init [root@server109 ~]# docker container run -dit --privileged --name systemctl_not_working_centos1 centos:7 /usr/sbin/init For detailed explanation and understanding I am writing more about it, please have look below. If we have a daemon based program(httpd, sshd, jenkins, docker etc.) running inside a container and we would like to start/stop or check status of daemon inside docker then it becomes difficult for us to perform such operations , because by default systemctl and service  commands don't work inside docker. Normally we run below commands to check services status in Linux systems. [root@server109 ~]# systemctl status ...

AWS cloud automation using Terraform

In this post I'll create multiple resources in AWS cloud using Terraform . Terraform is an infrastructure as code( IAC ) software which can do lots of things but it is superb in cloud automation. To use Terraform we have write code in a high-level configuration language known as Hashicorp Configuration Language , optionally we can write code in JSON as well. I'll create below service using Terraform- 1. Create the key-pair and security group which allow inbound traffic on port 80 and 22 2. Launch EC2 instance. 3. To create EC2 instance use same key and security group which created in step 1 4. Launch Volume(EBS) and mount this volume into /var/www/html directory 5. Upload index.php file and an image on GitHub repository 6. Clone GitHub repository into /var/www/html 7. Create S3 bucket, copy images from GitHub repo into it and set permission to public readable 8 Create a CloudFront use S3 bucket(which contains images) and use the CloudFront URL to update code in /var/w...
