![]() ![]() Whenever you’re starting, see if there is a good base to build upon. That’s a very basic sample but shows you everything you need to build upon making more complicated Dockerfiles. Finally we run CMD which is executing a bash command of python /app/app.py which is starting up our code making it run. After that we RUN a make command in the /app directory which will build whatever is needed and defined in that makefile. Then COPY all files in the current path on our system into the /app path in our image, this is used to take your code and put it into the image. So we are starting with Ubuntu version 18.04. The colon 18.04 refers to what tag of Ubuntu we are using, which is often used to choose a version number or a flavor of the image. On the first line we have a FROM this is important and very useful, you don't need to create everything from scratch but can start with a base and build your image on top of that. CMD specifies what command to run within the container. COPY adds files from your Docker client’s current directory. app RUN make /app CMD python /app/app.pyĮach instruction creates one layer: -FROM creates a layer from the ubuntu:18.04 Docker image. A very basic Dockerfile example is the following:įROM ubuntu:18.04 COPY. It’s a plain text file that on each line (called a layer in Docker terminology) is a different command Docker needs to run to build the image. Intro To Dockerfiles What even is a Dockerfile? A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. I will discuss how to do this with your own Drupal site, but for all other things you’d want to create a Docker Image for Docker has more than enough documentation out there to help you do it for whatever you’d need. Previously I shared how to get started with Docker and Docker Compose to start hosting your own projects, but what if the project you want to host is your own custom code? If you want to host your own code in a Docker Image that means you will need to create your own Docker Image for it.
