Step 1 — Installing Docker
The Docker installation package available in the official Debian repository may not be the latest version. To ensure we get the latest version, we’ll install Docker from the official Docker repository. To do that, we’ll add a new package source, add the GPG key from Docker to ensure the downloads are valid, and then install the package.
First, update your existing list of packages:
- sudo apt update
Next, install a few prerequisite packages which let
apt
use packages over HTTPS:
- sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common
Then add the GPG key for the official Docker repository to your system:
- curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Add the Docker repository to APT sources:
- sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
Next, update the package database with the Docker packages from the newly added repo:
- sudo apt update
Make sure you are about to install from the Docker repo instead of the default Debian repo:
- apt-cache policy docker-ce
You’ll see output like this, although the version number for Docker may be different:
Output of apt-cache policy docker-ce
ocker-ce:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 5:18.09.7~3-0~debian-buster
Version table:
5:18.09.7~3-0~debian-buster 500
500 https://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster/stable amd64 Packages
Notice that
docker-ce
is not installed, but the candidate for installation is from the Docker repository for Debian 10 (buster
).
Finally, install Docker:
- sudo apt install docker-ce
Docker is now installed, the daemon started, and the process enabled to start on boot. Check that it’s running:
- sudo systemctl status docker
The output will be similar to the following, showing that the service is active and running:
Output
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2019-07-08 15:11:19 UTC; 58s ago
Docs: https://docs.docker.com
Main PID: 5709 (dockerd)
Tasks: 8
Memory: 31.6M
CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service
└─5709 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock
Installing Docker gives you not just the Docker service (daemon) but also the
docker
command line utility, or the Docker client. We’ll explore how to use the docker
command later in this tutorial.Step 2 — Executing the Docker Command Without Sudo (Optional)
By default, the
docker
command can only be run the root user or by a user in the docker group, which is automatically created during Docker’s installation process. If you attempt to run the docker
command without prefixing it with sudo
or without being in the docker group, you’ll get an output like this:
Output
docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?.
See 'docker run --help'.
If you want to avoid typing
sudo
whenever you run the docker
command, add your username to the docker
group:
- sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
To apply the new group membership, log out of the server and back in, or type the following:
- su - ${USER}
You will be prompted to enter your user’s password to continue.
Confirm that your user is now added to the docker group by typing:
- id -nG
Output
sammy sudo docker
If you need to add a user to the
docker
group that you’re not logged in as, declare that username explicitly using:
- sudo usermod -aG docker username
The rest of this article assumes you are running the
docker
command as a user in the docker group. If you choose not to, please prepend the commands with sudo
.
Let’s explore the
docker
command next.Step 3 — Using the Docker Command
Using
docker
consists of passing it a chain of options and commands followed by arguments. The syntax takes this form:
- docker [option] [command] [arguments]
To view all available subcommands, type:
- docker
As of Docker 18, the complete list of available subcommands includes:
Output
attach Attach local standard input, output, and error streams to a running container
build Build an image from a Dockerfile
commit Create a new image from a container's changes
cp Copy files/folders between a container and the local filesystem

diff Inspect changes to files or directories on a container's filesystem
events Get real time events from the server
exec Run a command in a running container
export Export a container's filesystem as a tar archive
history Show the history of an image
images List images
import Import the contents from a tarball to create a filesystem image

wait Block until one or more containers stop, then print their exit codes
To view the options available to a specific command, type:
- docker docker-subcommand --help
To view system-wide information about Docker, use:
- docker info
Let’s explore some of these commands. We’ll start by working with images.
Step 4 — Working with Docker Images
Docker containers are built from Docker images. By default, Docker pulls these images from Docker Hub, a Docker registry managed by Docker, the company behind the Docker project. Anyone can host their Docker images on Docker Hub, so most applications and Linux distributions you’ll need will have images hosted there.
To check whether you can access and download images from Docker Hub, type:
- docker run hello-world
The output will indicate that Docker in working correctly:
Output
Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world
1b930d010525: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:41a65640635299bab090f783209c1e3a3f11934cf7756b09cb2f1e02147c6ed8
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
...
Docker was initially unable to find the
hello-world
image locally, so it downloaded the image from Docker Hub, which is the default repository. Once the image downloaded, Docker created a container from the image and the application within the container executed, displaying the message.
You can search for images available on Docker Hub by using the
docker
command with the search
subcommand. For example, to search for the Ubuntu image, type:
- docker search ubuntu
The script will crawl Docker Hub and return a listing of all images whose name match the search string. In this case, the output will be similar to this:
Output

...
In the OFFICIAL column, OK indicates an image built and supported by the company behind the project. Once you’ve identified the image that you would like to use, you can download it to your computer using the
pull
subcommand.
Execute the following command to download the official
ubuntu
image to your computer:
- docker pull ubuntu
You’ll see the following output:
Output
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from library/ubuntu
5b7339215d1d: Pull complete
14ca88e9f672: Pull complete
a31c3b1caad4: Pull complete

Digest: sha256:9b1702dcfe32c873a770a32cfd306dd7fc1c4fd134adfb783db68defc8894b3c
Status: Downloaded newer image for ubuntu:latest
After an image has been downloaded, you can then run a container using the downloaded image with the
run
subcommand. As you saw with the hello-world
example, if an image has not been downloaded when docker
is executed with the run
subcommand, the Docker client will first download the image, then run a container using it.
To see the images that have been downloaded to your computer, type:
- docker images
The output should look similar to the following:
Output
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
ubuntu latest 4c108a37151f 2 weeks ago 64.2MB
hello-world latest fce289e99eb9 6 months ago 1.84kB
As you’ll see later in this tutorial, images that you use to run containers can be modified and used to generate new images, which may then be uploaded (pushed is the technical term) to Docker Hub or other Docker registries.
Let’s look at how to run containers in more detail.
Step 5 — Running a Docker Container
The
hello-world
container you ran in the previous step is an example of a container that runs and exits after emitting a test message. Containers can be much more useful than that, and they can be interactive. After all, they are similar to virtual machines, only more resource-friendly.
As an example, let’s run a container using the latest image of Ubuntu. The combination of the -i and -t switches gives you interactive shell access into the container:
- docker run -it ubuntu
Your command prompt should change to reflect the fact that you’re now working inside the container and should take this form:
Output
root@d9b100f2f636:/#
Note the container id in the command prompt. In this example, it is
d9b100f2f636
. You’ll need that container ID later to identify the container when you want to remove it.
Now you can run any command inside the container. For example, let’s update the package database inside the container. You don’t need to prefix any command with
sudo
, because you’re operating inside the container as the root user:
- apt update
Then install any application in it. Let’s install Node.js:
- apt install nodejs
This installs Node.js in the container from the official Ubuntu repository. When the installation finishes, verify that Node.js is installed:
- node -v
You’ll see the version number displayed in your terminal:
Output
v8.10.0
Any changes you make inside the container only apply to that container.
To exit the container, type
exit
at the prompt.
Let’s look at managing the containers on our system next.
Step 6 — Managing Docker Containers
After using Docker for a while, you’ll have many active (running) and inactive containers on your computer. To view the active ones, use:
- docker ps
You will see output similar to the following:
Output
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED
In this tutorial, you started two containers; one from the
hello-world
image and another from the ubuntu
image. Both containers are no longer running, but they still exist on your system.
To view all containers — active and inactive, run
docker ps
with the -a
switch:
- docker ps -a
You’ll see output similar to this:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
d42d0bbfbd35 ubuntu "/bin/bash" About a minute ago Exited (0) 20 seconds ago friendly_volhard
0740844d024c hello-world "/hello" 3 minutes ago Exited (0) 3 minutes ago elegant_neumann
To view the latest container you created, pass it the
-l
switch:
- docker ps -l
- CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
- d42d0bbfbd35 ubuntu "/bin/bash" About a minute ago Exited (0) 34 seconds ago friendly_volhard
To start a stopped container, use
docker start
, followed by the container ID or the container’s name. Let’s start the Ubuntu-based container with the ID of d9b100f2f636
:
- docker start d42d0bbfbd35
The container will start, and you can use
docker ps
to see its status:CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
d42d0bbfbd35 ubuntu "/bin/bash" About a minute ago Up 8 seconds friendly_volhard
To stop a running container, use
docker stop
, followed by the container ID or name. This time, we’ll use the name that Docker assigned the container, which is friendly_volhard
:
- docker stop friendly_volhard
Once you’ve decided you no longer need a container anymore, remove it with the
docker rm
command, again using either the container ID or the name. Use the docker ps -a
command to find the container ID or name for the container associated with the hello-world
image and remove it.
- docker rm elegant_neumann
You can start a new container and give it a name using the
--name
switch. You can also use the --rm
switch to create a container that removes itself when it’s stopped. See the docker run help
command for more information on these options and others.
Containers can be turned into images which you can use to build new containers. Let’s look at how that works.
Step 7 — Committing Changes in a Container to a Docker Image
When you start up a Docker image, you can create, modify, and delete files just like you can with a virtual machine. The changes that you make will only apply to that container. You can start and stop it, but once you destroy it with the
docker rm
command, the changes will be lost for good.
This section shows you how to save the state of a container as a new Docker image.
After installing Node.js inside the Ubuntu container, you now have a container running off an image, but the container is different from the image you used to create it. But you might want to reuse this Node.js container as the basis for new images later.
Then commit the changes to a new Docker image instance using the following command.
- docker commit -m "What you did to the image" -a "Author Name" container_id repository/new_image_name
The -m switch is for the commit message that helps you and others know what changes you made, while -a is used to specify the author. The
container_id
is the one you noted earlier in the tutorial when you started the interactive Docker session. Unless you created additional repositories on Docker Hub, the repository
is usually your Docker Hub username.
For example, for the user sammy, with the container ID of
d9b100f2f636
, the command would be:
- docker commit -m "added Node.js" -a "sammy" d42d0bbfbd35 sammy/ubuntu-nodejs
When you commit an image, the new image is saved locally on your computer. Later in this tutorial, you’ll learn how to push an image to a Docker registry like Docker Hub so others can access it.
Listing the Docker images again will show the new image, as well as the old one that it was derived from:
- docker images
You’ll see output like this:
Output
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
sammy/ubuntu-nodejs latest d441c62350b4 10 seconds ago 152MB
ubuntu latest 4c108a37151f 2 weeks ago 64.2MB
hello-world latest fce289e99eb9 6 months ago 1.84kB
In this example,
ubuntu-nodejs
is the new image, which was derived from the existing ubuntu
image from Docker Hub. The size difference reflects the changes that were made. And in this example, the change was that NodeJS was installed. So next time you need to run a container using Ubuntu with NodeJS pre-installed, you can just use the new image.
You can also build Images from a
Dockerfile
, which lets you automate the installation of software in a new image. However, that’s outside the scope of this tutorial.
Now let’s share the new image with others so they can create containers from it.
Step 8 — Pushing Docker Images to a Docker Repository
The next logical step after creating a new image from an existing image is to share it with a select few of your friends, the whole world on Docker Hub, or other Docker registry that you have access to. To push an image to Docker Hub or any other Docker registry, you must have an account there.
This section shows you how to push a Docker image to Docker Hub. To learn how to create your own private Docker registry, check out How To Set Up a Private Docker Registry on Ubuntu 14.04.
To push your image, first log into Docker Hub.
- docker login -u docker-registry-username
You’ll be prompted to authenticate using your Docker Hub password. If you specified the correct password, authentication should succeed.
Note: If your Docker registry username is different from the local username you used to create the image, you will have to tag your image with your registry username. For the example given in the last step, you would type:
- docker tag sammy/ubuntu-nodejs docker-registry-username/ubuntu-nodejs
Then you may push your own image using:
- docker push docker-registry-username/docker-image-name
To push the
ubuntu-nodejs
image to the sammy repository, the command would be:
- docker push sammy/ubuntu-nodejs
The process may take some time to complete as it uploads the images, but when completed, the output will look like this:
Output
The push refers to a repository [docker.io/sammy/ubuntu-nodejs]
e3fbbfb44187: Pushed
5f70bf18a086: Pushed
a3b5c80a4eba: Pushed
7f18b442972b: Pushed
3ce512daaf78: Pushed
7aae4540b42d: Pushed
...
To enter in container you can run: docker exec -it /bin/bash
