Birthday App Training

During each celebration, there will be a self-paced beginners’ tutorial for attendees to learn the Docker basics as they build, ship and run a distributed applications with Docker Toolbox.

At the training, you will need to bring your own computer. Before you attend a birthday party training, please complete these steps to get your work environment ready:

1. For Linux users, you need to install Docker engine.
   For PC and Mac users, you need to install Docker Toolbox for Mac and Windows and use Docker Machine to create a virtual machine to run your Docker containers. Once your machine is created and you have connected your shell to this new machine, you’re ready to run Docker commands on this host.

 

1. If you’re new to Docker, pre-pull the docker images for the very basic tutorial

   docker pull hello-world
   docker pull alpine
   docker pull seqvence/static-site

 

1. To run the application and participate in the rest of the training, pre-pull these images

   docker pull mhart/alpine-node
   docker pull python:2.7-alpine
   docker pull java:openjdk-8-jdk-alpine
   docker pull redis:alpine
   docker pull postgres:9.4

 

1. And now you’re ready. See you at the birthday party!
