I am trying to create a docker image using the below command .
docker build -t mytestapp .
My DockerFile looks like this
# Set the base image
FROM rhel7:latest
USER root
# Dockerfile author / maintainer
MAINTAINER Name <email.id#example.com>
# Update application repository list and install the Redis server.
RUN mkdir /usr/local/myapp/
ADD myapp-0.0.1-jar /usr/local/myapp/
RUN java -Dspring.profiles.active=qa -jar /usr/local/myapp/myapp-0.0.1.jar
# Expose default port
EXPOSE 8080
Questions:
1) Is it fine the way I am adding the JAR file. Will it be available inside /usr/local on the container after I prepared am image from the above build.
2) When I build the image using docker build command , is the build image is pushed to docker repository hub by default.
Since the WAR file contains credentials, I don't want to push the image to Docker Hub but we would like to push to our local Docker registry using Docker distribution and pushing with docker push.
Please clarify.
Answering your questions:
Docker recommends using the COPY instructions for adding single files into an image. It will be available inside the container at /usr/local/myapp/myapp-0.0.1-jar
When you build the image it will be available on your local docker-host. It won't leave the server unless you explicitly tell it so.
Another tip I want to give you is the recommended docker image naming convention, which is [Repository/Author]/[Imagename]:[Version].
So for your image it might be called zama/mytestapp:1.0
If you want to push it into your local registry, you'll have to name your image after the syntax [LocalRegistry:Port]/[Repository/Author]/[Imagename]:[Version].
So your image might now be called registry.example.com:5000/zama/mystestapp:1.0
If you have authentication on your registry, you need to docker login first and then simply push the image with docker push registry.example.com:5000/zama/mystestapp:1.0.

I have docker file which make image.
FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.9
RUN export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
RUN export PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
docker build -f dockers/mydocker -t python .
then I would like to make images from this image.
There are listed image named basic docker images
Then in another Dockerfile.
FROM python
ADD ./Pipfile* ./
RUN pipenv install --ignore-pipfile
When I try to build this dockerfile
There comes like this
FROM docker.io/library/python
Does this mean I can use local image to build next image?
I need to make local repository for this purpose ??
Or any other way to do this??
This is probably working fine, but you should be careful to pick names that don't conflict with standard Docker Hub image names.
A Docker image name has the form registry.example.com/path/name. If you don't explicitly specify a registry, it always defaults to docker.io (this can't be changed), and if you don't specify a path either, it defaults to docker.io/library/name. This is true in all contexts – the docker build -t option, the docker run image name, Dockerfile FROM lines, and anywhere else an image name appears.
That means that, when you run docker build -t python, you're creating a local image that has the same name as the Docker Hub python image. The docker build diagnostics are showing you the expanded name. It should actually be based on your local image, though; Docker won't contact a remote registry unless the image is missing locally or you explicitly tell it to.
I'd recommend choosing some unambiguous name here. You don't specifically need a Docker Hub account, but try to avoid bare names that will conflict with standard images.
# this will work even if you don't "own" this Docker Hub name
docker build -f Dockerfile.base -t whitebear/python .
FROM whitebear/python
...
(You may have some trouble seeing the effects of your base image since RUN export doesn't do anything; change those lines in the base image to ENV instead.)
I want to use the nextcloud image from dockerhub as the base image for the purpose of creating the a new child image having my own company's logo in place of nextcloud and my preferred background colour.Can anyone help me with the process or any link to the solution to this?
https://nextcloud.com/changelog
-download this zip
-make a docker file
-your should install apache and setup it
-change logo and colour theme in your css file
-built a new image
The general approach is this:
Run the official image locally, follow the instructions on Docker Hub to get started.
Modify the application using docker and shell commands. You can:
open a shell (docker exec -it <container> sh) in the running container and use console commands to edit files;
copy files from from the container and back with docker cp;
mount local files into the container by using -v <src>:<dest> in docker run command.
When you're done with editing, you need to repeat all the steps in a Dockerfile:
# use the version you used to start the local container
FROM nextcloud
# write commands that you used inside the container (if any)
RUN echo hello!
# Push edited files that you copied/mounted inside
COPY local.file /to/some/place/inside/the/image
# More possible commands in Dockerfile Reference
# https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/
After that you can use docker build to create your modified image.
Usually according to docs In order to build a docker Image I need to follow these steps:
Create a Dockerfile for my application.
Run docker build . Dockerfile where the . is the context of my application
The using docker run run my image into a container.
Commit my image into a container
Then using docker push push the image into a container.
Though sometimes just launching the image into a container seems like a waste of time because I can tag my images using the parameter -t into the docker build command. So there's no need to commit a container as an image.
So is neseserily to commit a running container as an image?
You don't need to run and commit. docker commit allows you to create a new image from changes made on existing container.
You do need to build and tag your image in a way that will enable you to push it.
docker build -t [registry (defaults to docker hub)]/[your repository]:[image tag] [docker file context folder]
for example:
docker build -t my-repository/some-image:image-tag .
And then:
docker push my-repository/some-image:image-tag
This will build an image from a docker file found in the current folder (where you run the docker build command). The repository in this case is my-repository, the image name is some-image and it's tag is image-tag.
Also please note that you'll have to perform docker login with your credentials to docker hub before you are able to actually push the image.
You can also tag an existing image without rebuilding it. This is useful if you want to push an existing image to a different registry or if you want to create a different image tag. for example:
docker tag my-repository/some-image:image-tag localhost:5000/my-repository/some-image:image-tag
This will add a new tag to the image from the previous example. Note the registry part added (localhost:5000). If you call docker push on that tag (docker push localhost:5000/my-repository/some-image:image-tag) the image will be pushed to a registry found on localhost:5000 (of course you need the registry up and running before trying to push).
There's no need to do so. In order to prove that you can just tag the image and push it into the registry here's an example:
I made the following Dockerfile:
FROM alpine
RUN echo "Hello" > /usr/share/hello.txt
ENTRYPOINT cat /usr/share/hello.txt
Nothing special just generates a txt file and shows its content.
Then I can build my image using tags:
docker build . -t ddesyllas/dummy:201201241200 -t ddesyllas/dummy:201201241200
And then just push them to the registry:
$ docker push ddesyllas/dummy
The push refers to repository [docker.io/ddesyllas/dummy]

And as you can see from the output you can just build the tags and push it directly, good for your ci/cd pipeline. Though, generally speaking, you may need to launch the application into a container in order to do acceptance and other type of tests (eg. end-to-end tests).
I have to take a Docker image from a vendor site and then push the image into the private repository (Artifactory). This way the CI/CD pipeline can retrieve the image from the private repository and deploy the image.
What is the best way to achieve it, do I need to recreate the image?
steps:
take a pull of the base docker image from vendor.
create new folder for your new docker image.
create a Dockerfile.
write your base docker image.
do the changes inside this folder.
build new docker image using cmd.
push the image into docker hub.

I believe its a tar or zip file that they have given you by docker save and docker export.
You can perform below operations.
1. Perform docker load < file.tar - You will get the image name that's loaded. Note down the name.
1. Download the tar or zip file to your local.
2. Perform cat file.tar | docker import image_name_that_you_noted_above
3. You are good to use the image now. tag it to your repo and push, or directly run using docker run
I use docker pull ubuntu to get the ubuntu:latest docker
Once I had deploy some artifacts in this container, and I want to use it to other place, then I used docker commit ${container_id}
However I found that when I use command of docker commit, it push all the files, including the application logs.
I've google for some cases, it may use docker file, and set the .dockerignore file to ignore those files I don't need.
But it matters that I've deployed the application with a license, so could I use this container with the only docker commit to commit the changes?
docker commit will always capture EVERYTHING in the container filesystem. It's just the way it works.
.dockerignore only applies to the docker build command. docker build uses a Dockerfile to take an existing image (like ubuntu:latest), run some modification on it, and commit the result.
If you want to build a container for use somewhere else, a Dockerfile is the way to approach it. You didn't provide much info, so here is a SUPER sparse example...
# Dockerfile
FROM ubuntu:latest
ADD myartifact /src
CMD /src/my_script.sh
and then...
docker build -t myOrg/myImage .
After which you can run the image with
docker run myOrg/myImage
