Deploy Sample Bootstrap Basic Website as Container inside Debian Linux

-

 Docker Images start from a base image. The base image should include the platform dependencies required by your application, for example, having the JVM or CLR installed.


This base image is defined as an instruction in the Dockerfile. Docker Images are built based on the contents of a Dockerfile. The Dockerfile is a list of instructions describing how to deploy your application.



In this example, our base image is the Alpine version of Nginx. This provides the configured web server on the Linux Alpine distribution.

I assume that you already know the basics of Docker, and have it installed on your computer. If you haven’t any idea about containerization, then you can refer to this blog- Installation and Getting started with docker.

Step 1 - Create Dockerfile

Create your Dockerfile for building your image by copying the contents below into the editor.

FROM nginx:alpine
COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html

The first line defines our base image. The second line copies the content of the current directory into a particular location inside the container.

Step 2 - Build Docker Image

The Dockerfile is used by the Docker CLI build command. The build command executes each instruction within the Dockerfile. The result is a built Docker Image that can be launched and run your configured app.

The build command takes in some different parameters. The format is docker build -t <build-directory>. The -t parameter allows you to specify a friendly name for the image and a tag, commonly used as a version number. This allows you to track built images and be confident about which version is being started.

Task

Build our static HTML image using the build command below.

docker build -t webserver-image:v1 .

You can view a list of all the images on the host using docker images.

The built image will have the name web-server-image with a tag of v1

Step 3 - Run

The built Image can be launched in a consistent way to other Docker Images. When a container launches, it's sand-boxed from other processes and networks on the host. When starting a container you need to give it permission and access to what it requires.

For example, to open and bind to a network port on the host you need to provide the parameter -p <host-port>:<container-port>.

Task

Launch our newly built image providing the friendly name and tag. As it's a web server, bind port 80 to our host using the -p parameter.

docker run -d -p 80:80 webserver-image:v1

Once started, you'll be able to access the results of port 80 via curl docker


You now have a static HTML website being served by Nginx.

Python Script for Subnet-Calculator

Hi Guys, Sometimes it is important for a network admins to assign an IP address to multiple devices by doing manual calculations if he is working for a small organization who are not able to afford big commercial tools to automatically assign the IP address. This post will share with you a nice python script which helps you to calculate IP ranges available for given subnet mask and it will generate new IP for an admin to assign to a device. Here is the screenshot of the output for reference so than you can determine whether this output will any role in the work routine. Perquisites : You must have python installed. Python 3.7 or above.  You can also run this Python code in any other python supported IDE. Here is the DFD (Data-Flow diagram) of our application : Program Code:         ############# Application #1 - Part #1 ############# import random import sys def subnet_calc():     try:         print ("\n")               #Checking IP addr

What is Docker? and Why you should use it.

Docker is hotter than hot because it makes it possible to get far more apps running on the same old servers and it also makes it very easy to package and ship programs.  Here's a 10k feet overview of what you need to know about Docker. A Docker container can be seen as a computer inside your computer . The cool thing about this virtual computer is that you can send it to your friends; And when they start this computer and run your code they will get exactly the same results as you did. In short, you should use Docker because it allows you to  wrangle dependencies  starting from the operating system up to details such as R and Latex package versions it makes sure that your analyses are  reproducible . There are a couple of other points what Docker helps with: Portability: Since a Docker container can easily be sent to another machine, you can set up everything on your own computer and then run the analyses on e.g. a more powerful machine. Sharability: You can send the Docker contai
