Create an easy Ubuntu Container
- Search for various releases
docker search ubuntu
- Build container and use interactive with bash
docker create --name=foo -it ubuntu bash
- Then start the container
docker start foo
- Then attach to the container, note that this will only work because we have an interactive bash behind
- To exit and stop the container use CTRL + D
- To exit only use CTRL + P + Q
docker attach foo
- Alternative run the new Ubuntu container in one shot and attach to it, this will automatically install the image if not already present
- To exit and stop the container use CTRL + D
- To exit only use CTRL + P + Q
docker run --name=foo -it ubuntu bash
- Or run detached:
docker run --name=foo -itd ubuntu bash
- And then attach
docker attach ubuntu
Build an easy Apache2 Container
Create the Dockerfile
root@vm-docker01:~/# mkdir apache
root@vm-docker01:~/# cd apache
root@vm-docker01:~/apache# echo "#Dockerfile sample #Choose ubuntu or debian FROM ubuntu #These images have no apt cache installed yet RUN apt-get update #Install apache2 RUN apt-get install apache2-utils apache2 --assume-yes #Here comes the most important part as we need to init an entrypoint for the container, #if you don't do this then the container will exit right away CMD [\"-D\", \"FOREGROUND\"] ENTRYPOINT [\"apachectl\"]" > Dockerfile
Build the Image
- Build a new image named apache_image:1.0, note the dot at the end as this expects the Dockerfile within the current directory

Start the new buildet image
- Note the -d flag which says that the container runs detached and note that we map the container port 80 to the real host port 80
root@vm-docker01:~/apache# docker run --name myapache -d -p 80:80 apache_image:1.0 b4865c05a704055bb3bf080a58f1ee33334b0197bec4d89ce76e4995856879dc

Connect to the container
- Do not use the docker attach myapache method as the entrypoint will lead into a dead terminal, instead use the interactive method and start a bash
- To exit and stop the container use CTRL + D
- To exit only use CTRL + P + Q
root@vm-docker01:~/apache# docker exec -it myapache bash root@b4865c05a704:/# ps -e PID TTY TIME CMD 1 ? 00:00:00 apachectl 15 ? 00:00:00 apache2 16 ? 00:00:00 apache2 17 ? 00:00:00 apache2 72 pts/0 00:00:00 bash 80 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
- Now the webserver should be reachable through the network
root@vm-docker01:~/apache# netstat -tpan | grep 80 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 160554/docker-proxy
Create an easy mysql container
- Create a password file
root@vm-docker01:~# mkdir ./secrets root@vm-docker01:~# echo "Passwd" > ./secrets/mysql-root-password
- Create the mysql container using the above passwd file, alos create an extra volume to keep the database persistant
root@vm-docker01:~# docker run --name mysql -d \ -p 3306:3306 \ -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/mysql-root-password \ -v /root/secrets:/run/secrets \ -v mysql:/var/lib/mysql \ mysql:8
- Connect to the container and run mysql, you can the create your database, user and so on

Build an easy msql container
root@vm-docker01:~/# mkdir mysql root@vm-docker01:~/# cd mysql
- Create a sample sql init script which we run during the container init
root@vm-docker01:~/mysql # echo "#mysql script sample create database mydatabase; CREATE USER 'myuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypwd'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydatabase.* TO 'myuser'@'%'; ALTER USER 'myuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'mypwd'; "> init.sql

Using docker-compose
This would be the docker-compose.yml file to build the above apache and mysql container
- To build
- docker-compose build
- docker-compose build -d MyProjectName (Otherwise the current directory will be used to prefix volumes)
- To View
- docker-compose logs
- docker-compose logs -f
- To start/stop
- docker-compose up -d
- docker-compose down

Backup/Restore
Backup Volume
- Create a temporary Container and mount the volume, make sure that no one else is suing the volume
docker run -v <volume_name>:/dbdata --name dbstore -itd ubuntu /bin/bash
- Backup the data
docker run --rm --volumes-from dbstore -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu tar cvf /backup/backup.tar /dbdata Or gz docker run --rm --volumes-from dbstore -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu tar czvf /backup/backup.tar.gz /dbdata
Restore Volume
- Create a temporary Container and mount the volume, make sure that no one else is suing the volume
docker run -v <volume_name>:/dbdata --name dbstore2 -itd ubuntu /bin/bash docker run --rm --volumes-from dbstore2 -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu bash -c "cd /dbdata && tar xvf /backup/backup.tar --strip 1"
Backup Image
docker save mysql_image:1.0 apache_image:1.0 -o mybackup.tar.gz
Restore Image
docker load -i mybackup.tar.gz
VARS
- Sample
ARG MY_JAR=myJar.jar # ARG is only available during the build of a Docker image COPY bin/$MY_JAR $ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/$DOMAIN_NAME/lib/ COPY bin/$MY_JAR $ORACLE_HOME/wlserver/server/lib/mbeantypes/
VBind Mount
- Mention to chown local data dir to appropriate users
Recovery special, example for Splunk
- cat /etc/passwd
splunk:x:41812:41812::/home/splunk:/bin/bash
- OPTIONAL Create the splunk user on the physical host
addgroup splunk --gid 41812 adduser splunk --uid 41812 --gid 41812
- Create volume
docker volume create docker_splunk-etc docker volume create docker_splunk-var
- Mount helper container
docker run -v docker_splunk-etc:/opt/splunk/etc -v docker_splunk-var:/opt/splunk/var --name shrestore -itd debian:stable-slim /bin/bash
- Switch into the newly container docker exec -it shrestore bash
addgroup splunk --gid 41812 adduser splunk --uid 41812 --gid 41812 chown splunk /opt/splunk -R
- Copy the tar archives from the host
docker cp /home/vmadmin/restore/backup/docker/volumes/docker_splunk-etc.tar.gz shrestore:/tmp/docker_splunk-etc.etc.gz docker cp /home/vmadmin/restore/backup/docker/volumes/docker_splunk-var.tar.gz shrestore:/tmp/docker_splunk-var.tar.gz
- Then uncompress them
docker exec -it -u splunk shrestore bash -c "cd /opt/splunk/etc && tar xvf /tmp/docker_splunk-etc.etc.gz --strip 1 " docker exec -it -u splunk shrestore bash -c "cd /opt/splunk/var && tar xvf /tmp/docker_splunk-var.tar.gz --strip 1 "
- When finished the terminate shrestore
docker container stop shrestore docker container rm shrestore
