Get up and running with a simple "Hello World" Dockerfile and image in only a few minutes.

Thank you. At last! I've dipped into dozens of docker videos over the past few months and, apart from getting a vague idea of what docker is, had no clue about the basics of building a docker image. This video is gold dust.

[@michaelwitherspoon8463]

Dude, that was amazing! I'm a career software guy and career technical trainer. Your content and approach were great. I was having trouble finding the "simplest, easiest example" of deploying something to Docker. In your intro you said that this is it. You were right. Now, all of the crap I've read and tried but failed, suddenly all makes sense. Dirt simple. No shenanigans. Excellent work! I should be deploying micro-services written in Java to Docker in no time.

[@carlos.arenas]

Dude, you are a damn master! After a few hours of missunderstanding tutorials and documentation, this made it easy! Thank you very much

[@jwright123456789]

same!

[@PedroOrtizCastillo]

I agree!! (even more than 4 years of the original video posted)

[@Dreamagine1]

Great tip regarding process ID 1 and how it determines when a docker container exits, I did not know that before now

[@davegardner99]

first ever youtube comment in 15 years to say "thank you". Very simple and easy to understand.

[@Celsian]

I wish all tutorials were this easy to follow, thank you.

[@BeginningProgrammer]

This is awesome. I had started going down the path of learning docker from the docker website and that felt more like a recipe without context. This short video helped me understand more about docker than the couple of hours I had already invested prior to this. Awesome video! Thanks!

[@kumarcok]

I used docker images many times , this is the first time understanding the steps to create it . You wonderfully explained it !

[@gilesthompson4605]

Hey Derick, thank you very much indeed for putting together such an easy to follow tutorial. I had been confused up until now about how the Docker image composition process works. Thanks again.

[@dylanalbertazzi]

Your build-up from beginning to end is flawless. Great video!

[@prasadsanga162]

[@fayomifashanu1840]

This was an amazing intro to Dockerfile! well explained basic concepts so as not to confuse the beginner

[@reliefmelone9731]

Maybe something to mention if you are using docker on a windows machine make sure you have set the end of line sequence in your editor of choice to LF instead of CRLF

[@BDGKruger]

The script.sh should be granted the excuted permission,
Other than docker run will raise an error of permission denied while running.

I thought Docker sits on top of the OS, why do we need to specify another OS for the Docker Image?

[@euro_kid2643]

How would you pass a slack token through the cmd line after building ( ~ docker build . )? Right now I have docker run --name test (container id) SLACK_TOKEN=*token here*. Am I missing something between the container ID and my slack token?

[@pranabkirannath]

FROM scratch works on Linux but do we have anything similar for Windows Platform?
