Docker Tutorial: Building Docker Images Using Dockerfile

Using pre-built Docker images can speed up your work greatly, but you'll often need to install software, add scripts and setup an image that is unique to your needs. This video covers the basics of building your own images using the Dockerfile. We will talk about the RUN, CMD, ENV, WORKDIR and ENTRYPOINT instructions as well as understanding the Docker build context.

Thanks, this was a very clear and helpful explanation - with the mass amounts of in-depth tutorials out there, this is one of the few that actually explains clearly what's going on everywhere and I feel way more confident about Docker than before I saw this.

Regi Ellis That is a great comment and something I've been thinking about.  I would like to have a video on best practices and docker design patterns with pros/cons.  I am never sure if it's better to cover the topic broadly to help others get started, or if I should delve much deeper.  For now, I'm very busy and I've got some more MongoDB videos planned, maybe after that.  Thanks for watching and commenting.

Very good tutorial. Found it a lot useful.

One minor feedback if I may add is,  you could speak with a little more energy or faster. It will be even better :)

If you're unable to run the shell script because the permission is denied,
make sure to add : RUN ["chmod", "+x", "/root/run.sh"] right after you ADD run.sh /root/run.sh

Adding "RUN apt-get clean" dose NOT give you any extra space because all extra data does exist in previous layer(s). if you want to save space you need to add the clean command at the end of line that update or install package. like:
RUN apt-get install ... && apt-get clean

Yes - good information. A learning experience for me!

It was like Jessie from 'Breaking Bad" was narrating - without the "..yo...BITCH!!!!" or "..hey, Mr White...."
