Docker implements a lightweight virtualization technique allowing to isolate applications including complex dependencies (such as a minimal subset of a particular Linux distribution) in a portable container.
Installing Docker
Install the docker package.
$ sudo dnf install docker
Start the Docker daemon.
$ sudo systemctl start docker
To make Docker start at boot, run sudo systemctl enable docker.
Verify that Docker is working:
$ sudo docker run -i -t fedora /bin/bash
The following happens if there is no local fedora image available:
Unable to find image 'fedora:latest' locally latest: Pulling from docker.io/fedora 48ecf305d2cf: Pull complete ded7cd95e059: Already exists docker.io/fedora:latest: The image you are pulling has been verified. Important: image verification is a tech preview feature and should not be relied on to provide security. Digest: sha256:10ba981a70632d7764c21deae25c6521db6d39730e1dd8caff90719013858a7b Status: Downloaded newer image for docker.io/fedora:latest [root@e6b4bcda8a48 /]#
Testing your Docker setup
Test your Docker setup with the fedora image:
$ sudo docker pull fedora
Run the following command to run "Hello World" by means of Busybox:
$ sudo docker run fedora /bin/echo hello world
The following text appears: hello world
Docker Commands
docker info
This command displays system-wide information about docker.
$ sudo docker info Containers: 2 Images: 2 Storage Driver: devicemapper Pool Name: docker-253:2-2242558-pool Pool Blocksize: 65.54 kB Backing Filesystem: extfs Data file: /dev/loop0 Metadata file: /dev/loop1 Data Space Used: 525.7 MB Data Space Total: 107.4 GB Data Space Available: 43.42 GB Metadata Space Used: 978.9 kB Metadata Space Total: 2.147 GB Metadata Space Available: 2.147 GB Udev Sync Supported: true Deferred Removal Enabled: false Data loop file: /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/data Metadata loop file: /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/metadata Library Version: 1.02.93 (2015-01-30) Execution Driver: native-0.2 Logging Driver: json-file Kernel Version: 4.0.8-300.fc22.x86_64 Operating System: Fedora 22 (Twenty Two) CPUs: 4 Total Memory: 7.716 GiB Name: laptop019.n2317.net ID: Z3JN:VBYN:K3ES:W3J2:JU2J:Y24L:XXXB:N5FD:RFOW:SJMC:RTOQ:CETO
docker run
This command runs a docker container.
$ sudo docker run busybox /bin/echo this is an echo
The above command runs busybox, calls /bin/echo, and passes the string "this is an echo" to busybox.
$ sudo docker run -i -t a87ecb4f327c /bin/bash
The above command runs image a87ecb4f327c interactively (-i) with a pseudo-teletype interface (-t), and delivers you into a BASH shell.
Mapping container ports to host ports
$ docker run -p 8080:80 -d -i -t fedora/httpd
The above command runs fedora/httpd in a container in detached mode, interactively, with a pseudo-teletype. Container port 80 is mapped to host port 8080 by means of the part of the command reading -p 8080:80.
docker ps
This command shows containers. By default, the command shows only running containers.
$ sudo docker ps
To show all containers (including containers that are not running), use this command:
$ sudo docker ps -a
Dockerfiles
Upstream for Fedora Dockerfiles is available at: https://github.com/fedora-cloud/Fedora-Dockerfiles
These Dockerfiles are also available as a package 
fedora-dockerfiles
$ sudo dnf -y install fedora-dockerfiles $ ls /usr/share/fedora-dockerfiles
