docker_image_dockerfile_entrypoint

Overview

We will create a basic docker image using a Dockerfile and entrypoint scripts. This approach requires a little more familiarity with Docker but has the advantage of maintaining a very clear record of the commands required to completely build your solution from a clean environment.

Notes:

• If you are new to Docker you may prefer to build the image manually by running an interactive Bash shell that allows you to execute commands in the container.
• Instructions for this approach are here.

Development Process

Follow the steps below to build your image:

• Prepare the Dockerfile and scripts
• Build, run and tag the image
• Examine your container

Push to Dockerhub

• Completing process above will create a local Docker image on your host machine.
• Before submitting your solution, you will need to push this image to the DockerHub repository you created.
