I was actually working on figuring out a quick little Nginx container for a school project, and this is SOO much simpler than other tutorials I found online, plus you just plain explain thing beautifully. Your videos are just amazing!
I have avoided containers for a long time now. But I am having to face the fact that I for some things I no longer have an option but to run them as containers - and some of those tools want me to build my own docker images. I was wondering what tool you are using to create your docker files - it has some sort of integration with docker hub, and auto completion (both features I could use, as I don't intend building docker images to be a main part of what I do).
This timing is legendary. I just started looking into using containers for my setup and the first video i see is this one. Awesome vid btw, just what i needed
Couldn't agree more about the timing. Although I have been using docker for over a year I only recently built my first docker image which is a clone of wordle and also happens to be based on nginx-alpine. 😃
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to express my appreciation for the fantastic video tutorial you created. Your clear explanations and step-by-step guidance made learning 'Docker containers' a breeze!
Bro this video is amazing. I just discovered Docker a few weeks ago, I had always just used Virtual Box or VMWare VMs. I figured out how to spin up a Unifi container pretty quickly, but what I really wanted to know was how to build my own container so I could do some custom things. This video tutorial is perfect!!
This is the first video on docker that I have watched that makes sense of docker for me, in a way I can understand. Thank you so much! Now I'm going to attempt my first container 🙂
finally an actual practical tutorial that doesn't spend 90% of the time just explaining a bunch of boilerplate things like how to install it & what containers even are.
Man this tutorial is super awsome and beginner-friendly. The presentation style is awesome - to the point and just the enough amount of info in one video. Thanks a lot!
Great tutorial! I had a question about the starting point FROM in a Dockerfile. You mentioned you can start with a Linux operating system but you could also start with FROM python. Just wondering what the implications are for your starting point. Like, you wouldn't be able to run your web server if you started with Python? Or does it assume a native OS?
Thank you for all your videos. I was able to learn a lot from your work and videos and it would have been much harder to read books and documentation instead. I often see you in your videos typing code into VS Code and "magically" completing "things". Perhaps you can briefly explain at this point which VS extensions you installed and why? Or is it even worth making your own video for it? I hope you have fun making videos like this for a long time to come.
In docker file I used the same copy command as you did COPY src/html usr/share/nginx/html but when I cat into dockerfile the copy is empty...how can check the destination path in my local host to confirm if it is the same as urs as it could be the possible issue..thanks
Great video. Thanks. I have discovered that running an image using a Dockerfile from Docker Hub, with only the '-d' flag, does not always create a container that stays up and running. I've had to run the image with '-dit' to create the container(s). Also, some images don't run to create the container if a command (CMD in Dockerfile) is missing.
Clear and concise. Though I couldn’t get intellisense to work with the FROM command. Where your video has intellisense suggesting available repos after the FROM command.
I think this tutorial was really awesome. Thank you! I followed along and tried all the things while watching. Didn't bother building such a fancy web page tho xD mine was just a hello world, but you got the point across neatly!
Looking forward to the container registry video, I currently use Gitea with Woodpecker to run CI pipelines, but it is very slow when I need install dependencies before it runs my code, it would be great to pull from my own container registry that already includes all the build tools I need.
Hi...great tutorial... I understand now K8s only support containerd as runtime interface, so can I still run dockerfile in that K8s? Hope someone can clarify further. Thanks
had a nightmare getting this working on windows 10 home os. Had to enable windows hypervisor platform in windows features then restart Docker. Then stop my default IIS site which was running on port 80. Finally also found the browser was caching web requests from before I had my system setup properly so had to clear manually go in and clear the browser cache. Hoping this will help someone else go through less pain in future!
What should i do if i only see my html documents on my website not my java script files or css files? I have linked my whole folder and if i run my code locally (not on docker) i see those css editing and java script.
Very good my man. Loved this sort of thing! Just great overall stuff... Please do more along these lines. I can tell you were "right at home" with this stuff, but it was so good for me. So good, thank you.
question, instead of creating docker file and new custom docker image, could we creare docker-compose with the ngix image or apache etc and volume the _site folder ? Does this work ?
Love your channel but I hate your terminal setup. While this might work for you and I can follow what you are doing but most people won't. Having a profile with the full path will be very helpful for people following along. This is just constructive criticism. Your channel is amazing and learned a lot from it.
Thanks for the feedback! Not sure I understand what you mean about having a profile with the path and how most people won’t be able to follow? These are just docker commands.
how do i make a docker container for etlegacy? i want the client, not a dedicated server. Have both official compiled release and git clone in build environment, on windows.
Your videos are phenomenal, yesterday I started looking at Ansible on your channel and made me wanna learn Devops (Ansible and Docker). Thank you so much, your explanations are by far the best on YT. Thank you once again, all the best! 😄

@@jackmurak I was using the mac with m1 processor. The mac m1 has been showing many problems in docker, so I am just practising the docker in a Linux machine.
I've watched literally dozens of videos about Docker on YT and found them confusing and lacking. This video is awesome and explains it all. Would recommend.
Another GREATI video! I love your tutorials. You started out with really "good" content (I've watched from day one), but now, it's at a much higher-level. This tutorial with your direct, to-the-point explanations, really helped me. I've tossed up Docker and K8s but the amount of notes I have is overwhelming. Especially when I want to spend five minutes and not five hours. I set this to over 100 contacts at work, and about 180 (I forget the number in the email group) at home. Programming friends who like similar content. Keep up the great job! (Now rewatching "Uptime Kuma" video to get it working in my new K8s.)
Great job with the tutorial Tim! 🚀If anyone’s looking for more Docker videos, we’ve released a web-based Docker viewer and a logging tutorial to help the community too 💪
Thank you Tim for an amazing video once again! Addition to this can you cover SSL for docker containers be cover in your next video if possible or else a link to a super simple guide would do it. 😊
DUDE thank you! I've been looking for a video like this that starts from the beginning and does a simple example that's easy to follow. Usually the videos all show these big applications that they are wanting to containerize and it can be hard for a beginner to follow along.
I was just about to start a course on udemy for docker, I feel I can avoid 4+ hours in that course with this one video of yours. Now if you could make one like this for docker swarm or kubernetes it would be amazing.
swarm and kubernetes are completely different, I propose to start with swarm if you want to make some high availability between your home services and few physical machines
Great video. What i would liked to see is how can you integrate other things like keepalived into this or any other base image to be up to date always automatically , let it be the base iamge or keepalived while retaining the config files.
Actually its rather easier. Now i have 4 images that i use to test my scripts or to mess around with and it took very little time to setup. I couldn't find a good example for building a dockerfile, but will in the long term. I think in the end dockerfile is the way to go. However, what i did was collected a folder with all my scripts and stuff, and created some scripts to setup my environment, which included downloading cli apps like nano, tmux, vim (to practice), wget, curl and mc. Then i copy my dotfiles to /root, and then source the new .bashrc, and voila, a perfectly (for my use) docker container!! excellent!!!!
Definitely agreed with all the other comments, great tutorial and a lot of gems worth diving deeper on outside of this video. 3 improvements IMO - 5 to 10 seconds without wasting time 1 - mention the OS you're on 2 - mention the installer of Docker you used 3 - actually show the Dockerfile being created so it's clear about file extension I'm seeing the bigger picture more and more now.
Dockerhub shows 1.21.6-alpine and 1.22.0-alpine in your video. I even see this now when I visit Dockerhub. How did you determine that 1.10.1 was the latest version? Is there a tag that I'm not seeing? Is there maybe a docker command I can use to query for the lastest versions of base images?
I don't understand how you even created the yaml file at the beginning as there is no option when I downloaded VS Code, how to got it to the server from your client, and how to converted the yaml file into a Docker file. Missed a lot of steps there.
I did! Well done video, I probably won't need to be building my own containers much but had a special case, need to set up a quick web server to test something. Video was great! Oddly probably the most useful thing for me in the video was "exec into a container". I only knew how to do that from portainer and it wasn't working on one container but through this command in docker I was able to do it!
Thanks for this - I had no idea how to do anything but copy paste stuff for docker/portainer this morning. Followed this then a few hours later have managed to get automated builds from Github to Dockerhub, and then deployment from there to my home server for easy iteration!
This is an awesome tutorial! You simplified the process of learning Dockerfiles. I wish this video existed when I was learning docker. Would you make a video on Docker Compose and deployment to Kubernetes?
When I type "From" in my Dockerfile, it doesn't offer image suggestions (or underline the correct image name) what does that mean? How do I set it up correctly?
