Be Aware of Docker, It can be addictive

Since a few days I started exploring Docker and It’s Really amazing. The more I am looking into it, the more I am getting mesmerized with this technology. Be aware, Docker can be addictive.

I just created a simple Dockerized Node Js Web Apllication and tested to in browser, running superb and fine. In process, I wanted to explore -

1. How to create a custom image for a particular application (node js in this case) . So I created a minimalist node Alpine base image.

2. How to create an isolated work directory

3. How to copy configuration and code files from local disk to container.

4. How to build and run the container.

5. How to attach with shell of running container.

6. How to map port with host-to-container

After all this I am really amazed by the minimal resource consumption of Docker in my system. Looking forward to dive deep into it. Here is my GitHub Repository to look into the code and configuration.

Feel free to modify the code and turn it around to produce something great out of it.
