Pulling and Running a Basic Docker Image

In this step, you will start by running a simple Docker container. First, pull the "hello-world" image from the official Docker registry, and then run a container based on this image.

docker pull hello-world
docker run hello-world

Running an Interactive Container

Next, let's run an interactive container based on the Alpine Linux distribution. This will allow you to enter the container's shell and explore its environment.

docker run -it --name my-alpine-container alpine /bin/sh

Running a Web Server Container

For this step, you will run a web server container based on the nginx image. This will simulate hosting a website within a container.

docker run -d --name my-nginx-container -p 8080:80 nginx

Summary

In this lab, you learned how to run containers using Docker. By following these steps, you gained hands-on experience in pulling and running different types of Docker images, including basic, interactive, and server containers. With these skills, you are well-equipped to leverage Docker containers for various tasks in your futuristic space pirate adventures.
