What is a Docker file, image, container !

What is Dockerfile, Docker image and Docker container?

When I started reading about Docker, I was confused about the relationship between Docker file vs docker image vs docker container !

  • Docker file is where I need to script my steps on what actions to be done before I make a docker image.
    a sample docker file as below: here below in the code,
  • I am pulling JDK environment in line 1.
  • Then copying a java class to app directory in line 2,
  • Then setting app as working directory in line 3 for my docker container after i convert image to container.
  • Then finally running my app in line 4.
    FROM java:8-jdk-alpine
    COPY HelloWorl.class /app/
    WORKDIR /app
    ENTRYPOINT [“java”,”HelloWorld”]
  • Docker image is created using the above docker file by building it. (command : docker build -t myhelloworldapp . )
    • Note: dockerfile generates read only layers during the image conversion. These read only layers are created based the dockerfile commandline instructions. Images are considered as executable packages and is predefined. Once it is made, it can not be changed unless new dockerfile is created.
  • then spin up the container by using command : docker run myhelloworldapp
