How to Get Started with Docker 

That's super crisp presentation. Straight to the points and no beating around the bush. Fantastically condensed information.

I wish Peter would run a whole "Docker course." Honestly, this guy is fantastic.

This guy gets 5 stars in my book. He teaches what took others 45 minutes in 15 minutes and it makes good sense and is not off topic.

As a completely new in Docker I can tell that this presentation is as good as I would spend 30 minutes in a nuclear power plant with an engineer who describes me the principles by pointing on buttons and telling me: Push this, then push that. After that half an hour I can push buttons in right orders (maybe) but I will not have the slightest clue what's going on. Well, it is a way to get started with something but I would try to find another engineer with teacher skills.

This is the far the greatest intro, presentation on any get started videos on internet. Hope everyone can find this link.

You rarely get to view such amazing presentations. Thank you!

I just started Docker; this introduction was helpful. Thank you very much!

I now have a greater understanding of Docker. It looks like I can build an overall container, to suit my needs, assembled from sub-containers retrieved from the Docker Hub. I will now doubt view this video a few more times during the process mastering Docker. ----------------> Thank You.

Although I have had some experience with Docker and containerisation, the video was so smooth and presentation was so good that I couldn't stop watching whole video!

The most straightforward video I have watched to understand Docker. Thanks, Peter!

Absolutely brilliant presentation. Peter has made this so easy. I touched on Docker a few years ago, and needed a refresh. Best place ever to do it. Fantastic stuff, thank you.

Great! Very clear contextualization how Docker solution fits most environments.

Very nice and simple presentation got to the point very quickly and you could tell that this guy is simply speaking from his real work experience not just straight out of a text book or anything like that. Well done Sir!

awesome, got me from close to zero to quite solid first step on the understanding docker in such a short time

Very nice presentation, you answered all of my initial questions about Docker, now I know how to get started!

I love how he did the demo. I am just taking my first steps i to Docker and this is exactly the demo I need and was searching for the past few hours.

This presentation is to the point! Thank you for investing your valuable time and creating this content! All the best for your future presentations.

superb..explained everything about docker in 25 mins

Great! It's fantastic how you condensed everything one needs to know to get started in less than half an hour... Thank you very much!

on 3:53 there is a conceptual mistake - an image is a template to create containers. And a container is a runnable instance, which actually runs on server. So it does not only makes sense to "run" several images on server, but technically not possible (to "run" images at all). So please beware of confusion.

Thanks for the lesson, that help me a lot !

All these tutorials have the exact same problem. You start of with "What you're looking at is a docker file", but how did you get to where we're seeing this? What IDE are you using and how did you set it up? How did you get to the screen where you're at. Quick start guides is the same problem, where is the CLI in docker? For a project this big, the getting started documentation is pretty terrible.

Great tutorial. I often heard about docker before, but never found a starting point. I managed to run a nextcloud image parallel to watching this intro! Thanks a lot.

What a great presentation on docker . thanks so much.

Clear and concise!!

Appreciate your work on this presentation. Really the kind of lecture that speaks to me.

So straght and easy to understand. Nice job!

This was great! An awesome video that helped me get a good understanding of the overall basics. Thanks!

for a complete beginner this was very approachable. does any one recommend any other tutorials for novices?

Now I wonder what the other 1hr30min tutorials are teaching 😂... Is there more to it than this? This is clear and straightforward

Super quick and super clear! Thank you so much!

Efficient and pleasant presentation, Mr. McKee! Thank you! 😁

Great content with the basics of docker. Good to refresh commands with this talk before starting a project

Now I understand Docker. Thank you for bringing me in the door.

Excellent Explanation of Docker :-)

Brilliant exposition. Succinctly explained.

Great content - thank you! Very helpful for a beginner.

informative & insightful and straight to the point !

For a complete beginner, this tutorial was incredibly confusing. He jumps straight to explaining what a dockerfile is and what can be done with it, but now on how you can create one. I could have followed along the entire presentation if that crucial step wasnt overlooked. So sadly this video does nothing to help me get started at all.

Amazing presentation. Very clear and concise. Thank you

this presentation should receive a bunch more likes

Thank you, extremely useful 🙏

Very good presentation. Smooth and crisp. Hopefully it will help me and many others to learn docker fast.

hi, the subtitles/ cc seem to be delayed? i dont know if this is an youtube problem or if the page can configure it, but i wanted to let you know

I feel like you've left out alot. For example, I needed to name my Docker file with a .Dockerfile extension, not .yml. And it seems the copy command is expecting package.json to exist on my local dir first and do I need to already have a folder named /code?

All is clear thanks a lot !!

Thanks for the clear and concise presentation Peter. It's just one thing that at 13:06 you referred to "crazy_ptolemy" as the "image name". Shouldn't that be the name of the container and that "hello-world" being the name of the image? I'm new to docker so plz correct me if I'm wrong :D Thanks

My first docker video and it’s nice introduction but you didn’t make distinction between image and container in many places. It’s confusing when you say ‘name of the image’ to mean ‘name of the container’. The ‘docker start’, ‘docker rm’ commands and the ‘-name’ parameter in ‘docker run’ command take the name of the container, but you keep saying ‘the name of the image’. After reading the documentation, I realized that running the image with ‘docker run’ command means creating container and starting it. It would have been nice to make that distinction for a beginner.

Brilliant presentation describing the very concepts

thanks for the quick demo

Simple and concise.

Wonderful, thank you

Fantastic presentation for us as beginners..

Great video for an intro to Docker. Thank you

Thanks for the video. Whenever I run an image, it stops automatically in few seconds, some times immediately. any suggestions?

Very good material. I watched from a different learning platform, and they went too much into depth. I think you covered good breadth in a short amount of time.

I'm getting the error "ERROR [3/5] COPY package.json /code/package.json". I assume this is because I did not have a package.json inside my directory like you. So I went ahead and added an empty one but now I get the error "ERROR [4/5] RUN npm install" and I'm assuming this is because it is empty and it doesn't know what to do with it. Could you share what is inside your package.json file?

the docker-compose should be explained more in detail! it is a powerful tool !

Great Guy! Fantastic presentation

Such a good demo with such few likes? Aren't there many people learning Docker these days?

19:45 That's really fast internet, how much speed?

Hello, I have docker installed but I get an error: $ docker build --tag hello-world . unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: CreateFile C:\Users\HP Zbook\Application lifecycle management\test-docker\Dockerfile: The system cannot find the file specified. help

Got more idea from this video than from my pluralsight subscription. Sigh!

Captions are no longer in sync after trimming. Workaround is using auto generated captions or having the transcript open in another window.

Can you upload all the files used in your videos?

really, an excellent tutorial, thank you!

Thank you!!!

Why does tagging the hello-world image with pmckee/hello-world create a second image, and do we want to keep both?

Thank you, Peter. This presentation is as good as usual. It would be great if you provide a bit more information about volumes, please. Your terminal is awesome, so colorful, could you tell us how did you do that?

Superb method of tutoring.

Nice tutorial! Thanks Peter!

I really enjoyed your presentations, thanks alot :D

Very good tutorial! Thank you !

awesome makes a lot of sense now! a new tech to add >:)

Out of curiosity, did the computer manufacturer (not naming names), have initials which started with "H" and ending with "P"?

how come the docker pull took 1 second for a 1GB image?

shit.. What is that @5:07 ?? I have the little boat running.... I did what you said... I right clicked on it.. QUICK START GUIDE... got that... What is that screen @5:08?? How did you get to that?? Dam.. this is way above my level.

The default subtitles are shifted relative to the video and are about 30 seconds ahead of the video. Please fix it

sir, your closed captions are late. thank you.

I love the video. The only thing I hate is that I could not follow, because there was not a git repository to clone and follow along to

Thanks a lot for your work!

thank you.

Well done, thank you!

Спасибо большое! Действительно, это удивительная вещь!

It would be nice if they could port Docker Desktop for Linux too. I can handle the CLI, but I'd like to do things with GUI as much as possible.

Yisus crist, what a nice video man, Thanks 4 ur help.

Could anyone tell me where I can find "package.json (at time 6:53 )"? i have spent like 2 hours but still cannot figure it out. thanks.

Super cool. Thanks a lot.

nice prez, very clear ! what setting are u using in iterms2 to have such great colors ?

I've been looking for this head start! Thanks Peter!

Nice one Thanks

So has "Whack" for the / character spread from Microsoft to Docker?

thank you

The "COPY" command is ran after the "WORKDIR" command, so, when you run "COPY . /code", you are copying . (which is /code) to /code, right? Which isn't good?

Great!

Well done!

I guess I'm in the minority. This was not helpful at all to a non-developer who is focused on infrastructure. I wanted to understand how to set up the server infrastructure to make Docker available to users, and to run applications that have already been packaged for Docker. For example, starting with a physical server that will be dedicated to running Docker packages, what next? Does Docker install on bare metal, or on top of an OS?, or is it a plug-in for VMWare? Are there any supporting servers required to make it work, like licensing servers, DB servers, web servers, etc.?

Спасибо!
