Migrate from Boot2Docker to Docker Machine If you were using Boot2Docker previously, you have a pre-existing Docker boot2docker-vm VM on your local system. To allow Docker Machine to manage this older VM, you must migrate it. Open a terminal or the Docker CLI on your system. Type the following command. $ docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-import-boot2docker-vm boot2docker-vm docker-vm Use the docker-machine command to interact with the migrated VM. Subcommand comparison The d

Driver options and operating system defaults When Docker Machine provisions containers on local network provider or with a remote, cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services, you must define both the driver for your provider and a base operating system. There are over 10 supported drivers and a generic driver for adding machines for other providers. Each driver has a set of options specific to that provider. These options provide information to machine such as connection credentials, ports, and

ETW logging driver The ETW logging driver forwards container logs as ETW events. ETW stands for Event Tracing in Windows, and is the common framework for tracing applications in Windows. Each ETW event contains a message with both the log and its context information. A client can then create an ETW listener to listen to these events. The ETW provider that this logging driver registers with Windows, has the GUID identifier of: {a3693192-9ed6-46d2-a981-f8226c8363bd}. A client creates an ETW liste

Link environment variables reference Note: Environment variables are no longer the recommended method for connecting to linked services. Instead, you should use the link name (by default, the name of the linked service) as the hostname to connect to. See the docker-compose.yml documentation for details. Environment variables will only be populated if you’re using the legacy version 1 Compose file format. Compose uses Docker links to expose services’ containers to one another. Each linked cont

Control and configure Docker with systemd Many Linux distributions use systemd to start the Docker daemon. This document shows a few examples of how to customize Docker’s settings. Starting the Docker daemon Once Docker is installed, you will need to start the Docker daemon. $ sudo systemctl start docker # or on older distributions, you may need to use $ sudo service docker start If you want Docker to start at boot, you should also: $ sudo systemctl enable docker # or on older distributions, y

Docker Remote API v1.22 1. Brief introduction The Remote API has replaced rcli. The daemon listens on unix:///var/run/docker.sock but you can Bind Docker to another host/port or a Unix socket. The API tends to be REST. However, for some complex commands, like attach or pull, the HTTP connection is hijacked to transport stdout, stdin and stderr. When the client API version is newer than the daemon’s, these calls return an HTTP 400 Bad Request error message. 2. Endpoints 2.1 Containers List con

network connect Usage: docker network connect [OPTIONS] NETWORK CONTAINER Connects a container to a network --alias=[] Add network-scoped alias for the container --help Print usage --ip IPv4 Address --ip6 IPv6 Address --link=[] Add a link to another container Connects a container to a network. You can connect a container by name or by ID. Once connected, the container can communicate with other containers in the same network.

create Creates containers for a service. Usage: create [options] [SERVICE...] Options: --force-recreate Recreate containers even if their configuration and image haven't changed. Incompatible with --no-recreate. --no-recreate If containers already exist, don't recreate them. Incompatible with --force-recreate. --no-build Don't build an image, even if it's missing. --build Build imag

Store images on Docker Hub So far you’ve learned how to use the command line to run Docker on your local host. You’ve learned how to pull down images to build containers from existing images and you’ve learned how to create your own images. Next, you’re going to learn how to use the Docker Hub to simplify and enhance your Docker workflows. The Docker Hub is a public registry maintained by Docker, Inc. It contains images you can download and use to build containers. It also provides authenticati

push Usage: docker push [OPTIONS] NAME[:TAG] Push an image or a repository to the registry --disable-content-trust=true Skip image signing --help Print usage Use docker push to share your images to the Docker Hub registry or to a self-hosted one. Killing the docker push process, for example by pressing CTRL-c while it is running in a terminal, will terminate the push operation. Registry credentials are managed by docker login.
