Access another container in Docker

2019-02-26 14:28:04  |  Docker

Steps

  1. Create a network named "test"

    1. docker network create test
  2. Create two containers using the network

    1. docker run --name c1 --network "test" --rm --entrypoint tail mongo -f
    2. docker run --name c2 --network "test" --rm --entrypoint tail mongo -f
  3. Enter one container to ping the other and it will work

    1. docker exec -it c1 bash
    1. apt-get install iputils-ping # install command ping
    1. root@79568c5ce391:/usr/src/app# ping c2
    2. PING c2 (172.18.0.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
    3. 64 bytes from c2.test (172.18.0.3): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.137 ms
    4. 64 bytes from c2.test (172.18.0.3): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.221 ms
    5. 64 bytes from c2.test (172.18.0.3): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.232 ms
    6. ...

Notes

Using default network or "bridge" network does not work:

  1. docker run --name c1 --rm --entrypoint tail web_scraper:v1 -f
  2. docker run --name c2 --rm --entrypoint tail web_scraper:v1 -f
  1. docker run --name c1 --network "bridge" --rm --entrypoint tail web_scraper:v1

Publish or expose port (-p, --expose)

  1. $ docker run -p 127.0.0.1:80:8080/tcp ubuntu bash

This binds port 8080 of the container to TCP port 80 on 127.0.0.1 of the host machine. You can also specify udp and sctp ports.

  1. $ docker run --expose 80 ubuntu bash

This exposes port 80 of the container without publishing the port to the host system’s interfaces.

Docker Basics

Images

  1. docker images
  2. docker build -t image_name .
  3. docker rmi $(docker images | grep "^<none>" | awk "{print $3}") # remove all untagged images
  4. docker save image_name > image_name.tar # save image as a tar file
  5. docker load < busybox.tar.gz # load image

Containers

  1. docker run -p 27017:27017 -v mongodbdata:/data/db mongo
  2. docker ps -a
  3. docker exec -it ubuntu_bash bash
  4. docker rm container_name
  5. docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) # remove all stopped containers

Volumes

  1. docker volume create mongodbdata
  2. docker volume ls
  3. docker volume inspect mongodbdata

Networks

  1. docker network ls
  2. docker network create network_name
  3. docker network inspect network_name
  4. docker network rm network_name

Azure Container Instance

  1. docker login azure --tenant-id 8432da0f-f8af-4b02-b318-4c777cfab498
  2. docker context create aci hpjacicontext
  3. docker context use hpjacicontext
  4. docker compose up

Docker compose

  1. docker-compose up --detach --force-recreate
