Docker Container Creation Adventure

Introduction

In this lab, students will be transported to an ancient temple where they will assume the role of a mystical priest responsible for creating and managing sacrificial offers. The goal is to enable students to understand how to create and manage Docker containers in a practical and engaging setting.

Setting the Sacred Space

In this step, students will first prepare the sacred space by creating an altar for the sacrificial offer. They will create an "offer" directory for the temple and then summon the mystical Docker daemon to build the sacred space.

Commands

mkdir ~/project/offer
docker run -d --name sacred_space alpine top

Preparing the Sacred Offer

In this step, students will select the desired sacrificial offer (Docker image) to be placed on the altar and build the Docker container for it.

Commands

docker run -d --name altar nginx

Offering the Sacrifice

In this step, students will offer the prepared sacrificial offer to the gods (start the container).

Commands

docker start altar

Summary

In this lab, we have designed an immersive experience based on an ancient temple scenario to help students learn the Docker 'create' skill. By following these steps, students can practice creating containers using Docker commands in a creative and engaging environment. This lab aims to provide an interactive and practical approach to learning Docker container management skills.
