Docker Example

An example Django project to illustrate using Docker

Instructions

To build:

docker build -t commoncode/docker-example .

or:

make build

The above commands will cause the Docker command line tool to read in and execute the Dockerfile which is a set of instruction on what should be included in your Docker image and actions to perform within the image to get it fully configured

To run once built:

docker run --rm -it -p 80:80 commoncode/docker-example

or:

make run

Where:

--rm	Remove this container after it closes
-i	Interactive. Keep STDIN open even if not attached
-t	Allocate a pseudo-TTY

So in this case we are creating a container from the commoncode/docker-example image. We want it to be destroyed as soon as it is shut down (--rm), we are assigning the local (host) port 80 to internal port 80 (-p 80:80). We are also telling docker that we want to interact with the process running inside the container using stdin via a TTY (-it).
