<b>&gt; Docker registries and repositories:</b>

Nick Janetakis writes a pretty concise brief article to describe what are Docker repositories and Docker registries.  An image repository holds versions (committed and tagged versions) of a given Docker image.  A registry holds zero or more Docker repositories, and is generally a full-fledged always live service that's accessible on the internet or on an intranet.

 +
 +
When pulling Docker images from Docker's primary community site, hub.docker.com, only the Docker username is needed prior to the image name:

=== [[#top|^]] Docker commit ===
 +
 +
To commit changes within a container a user can invoke `docker commit ...`.  While it is good to know about Docker commit command, commits of container changes are not trackable and maintainable nearly as practically as Dockerfiles.  Here is the official documentation for this commit command, followed by a tutorial on Docker commit command with preliminary steps of writing a Dockerfile:
 +
 +
<ul>
 +
*  https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/commit/
 +

=== [[#top|^]] Docker push ===
 +
 +
Incomplete synopsis of `docker push` command:
 +
 +
  $ docker push [&lt;optional_remote_registry&gt;/]&lt;image_name&gt;[:&lt;optional_tag&gt;]
 +
 +
Series of <code>docker push</code> invocations for a work-in-progress image.  Note the tag names are optional until one needs push an image that's being amended, such that it is a newer or different version of an existing image on the remote Docker repository:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
  886  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc
 +
  932  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc:version-0p2
 +
  944  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc:version-0p3
 +
  962  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc:version-0p4
 +
  965  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc:version-0p5
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
And here is a link to an article describing Docker push command syntax:
 +
 +
<ul>
 +
*  https://www.educba.com/docker-push/
 +
</ul>
 +
 +
We'll note this link also in the [[#references|References]] section of this page.  Takeaway here is that the third token in the above push command examples, the latter four examples, that token has the form "<docker_user_name>/<image_name>:<docker_tag>".
 +
 +
This article helped get us closer to understanding how Docker CLI parses the argument to a given <code>docker push</code> argument.  Even with this understanding some further trial and error helped clarify what is needed in the form of this argument, which identifies a Docker image to be pushed to a private, non-docker.io registry.  Some excerpts from the command line:

=== [[#top|^]] docker container rm ===

An excellent tutorial on removing Docker images, containers and volumes, with many examples:

 +
<ul>
 +
*  https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-remove-docker-images-containers-and-volumes
 +
</ul>
 +
 +
Note also the Docker images are removed using `docker rmi`, while Docker containers are removed via `docker rm`.  The example command to remove all Docker containers with `exited` status is not quite correct.  Needed to filter for the first column of Docker's `ps -a` command in order to provide only Docker containter IDs:
 +
 +
  $ docker rm $(docker ps -a -f status=exited | cut -d " " -f 1)

 +
 +
*  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40582300/how-to-load-a-docker-image-from-a-tar-file
 +
 +
Example invocation of `docker load` command:
 +
 +
  $ docker load < image_name.tar
 +
 +
In the above command except 'image_name' is really file basename.  The given Docker image may not be named, but rather have only a hash-based identifier.

A couple examples of running second <code>bash</code> instance of a given Docker container, not a login, but provides second interactive window or interface to a given Docker container:
 +
 +
==== [[#top|^]] docker exec [options] [command_in_container] ====
 +
 +
Docker image ID can be obtained by running `docker images` or `docker images -a`.  This can aid in the following Docker command invocation:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
  $ docker exec -it [image_id] /bin/bash
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Note this can have unintended consequences given that there's no ssh server running to handle multiple, or additional logins!

=== [[#top|^]] web server configuration ===
 +
 +
A dedicated virtual machine can easily have one web server configured to act as a reverse proxy in front of a Docker registry.  In this context we mean 'proxy' as in a proxy for the public to reach one's internal, in this case Docker registry server.  But for development purposes where our virtual machine options are not yet easily configured to be accessible on a LAN, we face a need to set up a first private registry on an existing cloud host which has a name and fixed IP.  And there is already a web server config in place there, which we want to leave intact while testing the reverse proxy and other Docker registry pieces.  Hence this section in this notes page.

=== [[#top|^]] Reverse proxy choices ===
 +
 +
Excerpt from https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/system-configuration/configuring-ssl#ConfiguringSSL-InboundSSL-ConfiguringtoServeContentviaHTTPS:
 +
<pre>
 +
Inbound SSL - Configuring to Serve Content via HTTPS
 +
Available in Nexus Repository OSS and Nexus Repository Pro
 +
 +
Providing access to the user interface and content via HTTPS is a best practice.
 +
 +
You have two options:
 +
 +
Use a separate reverse proxy server in front of the repository manager to manage HTTPS
 +
Configure the repository manager itself to serve HTTPS directly
 +
Using A Reverse Proxy Server
 +
A common approach is to access the repository manager through a dedicated server which answers HTTPS requests on behalf of the repository manager - these servers are called reverse proxies or SSL/TLS terminators. Subsequently requests are forwarded to the repository manager via HTTP and responses received via HTTP are then sent back to the requestor via HTTPS.
 +
 +
There are a few advantages to using these which can be discussed with your networking team. For example, the repository manager can be upgraded/installed without the need to work with a custom JVM keystore. The reverse proxy could already be in place for other systems in your network. Common reverse proxy choices are Apache httpd, nginx, Eclipse Jetty or even dedicated hardware appliances. All of them can be configured to serve SSL content, and there is a large amount of reference material available online.
 +
 +
Serving SSL Directly
 +
The second approach is to use the Eclipse Jetty instance that is distributed with the repository manager to accept HTTPS connections.

== [[#top|^]] Docker Compose ==
 +
Docker compose files can coordinate and run multiple Docker containers which work together to provide a larger service or set of services.  A starting point for understanding how to utilize Docker compose files, which are drafted in a mark-up language named YAML, can be found here:
 +
*  https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/
 +
 +
In contrast a dockerfile is a set of build instructions, which could be run at a command line to manually create a Docker image.  A dockerfile provides a way to automate the image building process, and is much lighter weight in terms of disk space taken compared with a typical image.  A one line command in a dockerfile could pull in a multi-megabyte library or binary.  Some information on dockerfiles here:

=== [[#top|^]] To share host OS folder with virtual machine ===
 +
 +
VirtualBox needs a one-time set up for each host OS folder or directory to be shareable with a given virtual machine.  Once that sharing configuration is completed, a *nix mount command is needed in a login session in the virtual machine.  Example mount commands to make a host OS directory accessible to the given running VM:
 +
 +
<i>Figure x - share files in one directory between host OS and VM:</i>

  342  which ssh-agent        <-- check that `ssh-agent` is installed and in local $PATH variable
 +
  346  ps ax | grep ssh-agent  <-- check whether ssh-agent is presently running
 +
  348  eval `ssh-agent -s`    <-- start ssh-agent running when not found running
 +

Containers :: RTOS Notes :: Clusters :: Unix and Linux config

Contents

^ Container Software

A promising starting point, collection of six articles / tutorials on Docker containers: 

 *  https://medium.com/sysf/docker/home

A general note following about three days' Docker container experimentation, and to question "should I be using a Docker container interactively, running multiple apps, some simultaneously?". (Note the following forum post chain is a quagmire of issues and opinions!): 

 *  https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7950326

^ Docker

Notes on Docker containerizing software. Note, to get a practical start it is a good and or needed step to create a user account with Docker dot com. Single user and free accounts with some advanced Docker features disabled are available. A good starting tutorial for beginners is written by one Brian Hogan of Digital Ocean, this article published 2018 July 5. First reference in list here:

Ted noting too there may be a daily limit to the number of docker images which a user with a free account can push to Docker's image repository. Docker's image repository provides URLs of the form https://hub.docker.com/u/<user_name>, where username is the given person's Docker account user name.4

Returning to Docker a year to two further (2023-06-26) here is an article linked directly from Brian Hogan's How To Install... article at Digital Ocean. This article talks about creating multiple Docker containers, many of which contain each other in a layered fashion by design:

This article introduces some basic concepts regarding the Docker ecosystem. And a good article here to lay out the distinctions between a Docker image and a Docker container:

> Docker registries and repositories:

Nick Janetakis writes a pretty concise brief article to describe what are Docker repositories and Docker registries. An image repository holds versions (committed and tagged versions) of a given Docker image. A registry holds zero or more Docker repositories, and is generally a full-fledged always live service that's accessible on the internet or on an intranet.


^ Dockerfiles

An article and tutorial on crafting a basic Dockerfile:

Ubuntu Docker images are the most downloaded on hub.docker.com. Here is an article on how to customize this image:

How to start Docker image with interactive shell:

How to save a Docker image as a compressed file:


^ Docker commands

NOTE: as of 2021-07-19 Monday this section needs organizing and annotation work. - TMH
This first reference URL was added when Ted did not know how to start a Docker image running and grant it access to a host OS directory hierarchy:

    More on Docker volumes at this next URL. Note also that there is an older Docker volume mechanism and a newer more flexible one, but that may be detailed in another tutorial or guide:


^ Docker pull

Example command to pull a Docker image from a private registry: 

docker pull registry.some_remote_host.com/ubuntu-20-04:version-1p0

When pulling Docker images from Docker's primary community site, hub.docker.com, only the Docker username is needed prior to the image name: 

docker pull tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc:version-0p8


^ Docker run

Very limited but useful example of how to run a docker image, with two host OS directory hierarchies accessible in the Docker container: 

# docker run -i -t -v /home/cpguest/projects/chibios:/home/huesped/project/chibios -v /mnt/host_os_downloads:/mnt/host_os_downloads --privileged bf980d48d9ab


^ Docker commit

To commit changes within a container a user can invoke `docker commit ...`. While it is good to know about Docker commit command, commits of container changes are not trackable and maintainable nearly as practically as Dockerfiles. Here is the official documentation for this commit command, followed by a tutorial on Docker commit command with preliminary steps of writing a Dockerfile:

Figure: example Docker commit: 

docker commit -m "Created 'use marker' file in root homedir of ubuntu-20-04-lts:version-1p0 image." -a "Sr Fulano" ad494bcfe010 private_registry.some_host.com/ubuntu-20-04:version-1p0



^ Docker push

Incomplete synopsis of `docker push` command: 

  $ docker push [<optional_remote_registry>/]<image_name>[:<optional_tag>]

Series of docker push invocations for a work-in-progress image. Note the tag names are optional until one needs push an image that's being amended, such that it is a newer or different version of an existing image on the remote Docker repository: 

  886  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc
  932  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc:version-0p2
  944  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc:version-0p3
  962  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc:version-0p4
  965  docker push tedhavelkaad0602/ubuntu-git-plus-arm-none-eabi-gcc:version-0p5

And here is a link to an article describing Docker push command syntax:

We'll note this link also in the References section of this page. Takeaway here is that the third token in the above push command examples, the latter four examples, that token has the form "<docker_user_name>/<image_name>:<docker_tag>".

This article helped get us closer to understanding how Docker CLI parses the argument to a given docker push argument. Even with this understanding some further trial and error helped clarify what is needed in the form of this argument, which identifies a Docker image to be pushed to a private, non-docker.io registry. Some excerpts from the command line:

Delete a Docker repository on Docker hub:


^ docker container rm

An excellent tutorial on removing Docker images, containers and volumes, with many examples:

Note also the Docker images are removed using `docker rmi`, while Docker containers are removed via `docker rm`. The example command to remove all Docker containers with `exited` status is not quite correct. Needed to filter for the first column of Docker's `ps -a` command in order to provide only Docker containter IDs: 

 $ docker rm $(docker ps -a -f status=exited | cut -d " " -f 1)


^ docker load

Example invocation of `docker load` command: 

  $ docker load < image_name.tar

In the above command except 'image_name' is really file basename. The given Docker image may not be named, but rather have only a hash-based identifier.


^ SSH connection to Docker container

Secure shell into, or otherwise connect with a running Docker container in and of a Linux environment:

A couple examples of running second bash instance of a given Docker container, not a login, but provides second interactive window or interface to a given Docker container:

^ docker exec [options] [command_in_container]

Docker image ID can be obtained by running `docker images` or `docker images -a`. This can aid in the following Docker command invocation: 

  $ docker exec -it [image_id] /bin/bash

Note this can have unintended consequences given that there's no ssh server running to handle multiple, or additional logins!


-- Enable USB access in Docker container --


^ Docker volumes

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-share-data-between-docker-containers


^ Anatomy of a Dockerfile

This section in progress!

An annotated example Dockerfile:

A link to a Docker based project which comes very close to what we're working on for an embedded development toolchain and environment that's fully tracked, easy to reproduce on demand:


^ Promising Docker images


^ Physical Device Access in a Docker Container =


^ Private Docker registries

One of the later references found, but one of the most helpful to putting all the pieces together and to understanding how to test them, and why they're there:

This post from 2016 by writer Lathonez.


Notes on how to set up a Docker container registry, a networked server from which Docker images can be accessed and shared:

Setting up authentication using htaccess files:

Some requirements for the above link to Docker registry recipe:

 
Above tutorials and articles don't paint a clear easy path to setting up a first, basic Docker registry. Taking up a different path here at DigitalOcean:

Regarding port forwarding in apache2 config files:

There is some nginx configuration stuff that's not obvious how to port to apache2 config files, but following how-to article gives a clue with "Header set Host ..." and "RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"":


^ web server configuration

A dedicated virtual machine can easily have one web server configured to act as a reverse proxy in front of a Docker registry. In this context we mean 'proxy' as in a proxy for the public to reach one's internal, in this case Docker registry server. But for development purposes where our virtual machine options are not yet easily configured to be accessible on a LAN, we face a need to set up a first private registry on an existing cloud host which has a name and fixed IP. And there is already a web server config in place there, which we want to leave intact while testing the reverse proxy and other Docker registry pieces. Hence this section in this notes page.

This section contains references and notes regarding how to set up apache2 and nginx on one server.

^ to run multiple instances of apache2

^ Reverse proxy choices

Excerpt from https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/system-configuration/configuring-ssl#ConfiguringSSL-InboundSSL-ConfiguringtoServeContentviaHTTPS: 

Inbound SSL - Configuring to Serve Content via HTTPS
Available in Nexus Repository OSS and Nexus Repository Pro

Providing access to the user interface and content via HTTPS is a best practice.

You have two options:

Use a separate reverse proxy server in front of the repository manager to manage HTTPS
Configure the repository manager itself to serve HTTPS directly
Using A Reverse Proxy Server
A common approach is to access the repository manager through a dedicated server which answers HTTPS requests on behalf of the repository manager - these servers are called reverse proxies or SSL/TLS terminators. Subsequently requests are forwarded to the repository manager via HTTP and responses received via HTTP are then sent back to the requestor via HTTPS.

There are a few advantages to using these which can be discussed with your networking team. For example, the repository manager can be upgraded/installed without the need to work with a custom JVM keystore. The reverse proxy could already be in place for other systems in your network. Common reverse proxy choices are Apache httpd, nginx, Eclipse Jetty or even dedicated hardware appliances. All of them can be configured to serve SSL content, and there is a large amount of reference material available online.

Serving SSL Directly 
The second approach is to use the Eclipse Jetty instance that is distributed with the repository manager to accept HTTPS connections.

Following article good, well written! Describes in clear detail and incrementally how to set up private Docker registry. Gives references. Explains need for some kind of web service provision to achieve a remotely accessible private Docker registry. Key words Gabriel Tanner private Docker registry :

^ Docker Features Not Done

Apparently there is no ready facility to list the images in a private Docker registry, one that's running from the official registry:2 Docker image. A forum post includes mentions of two possible home brew scripts to provide such a listing:

The second of the two scripts is hosted at Github. Need to check the license applied to it, looks like there are recent updates to this project, from about 2021 March:

^ Docker Compose

Docker compose files can coordinate and run multiple Docker containers which work together to provide a larger service or set of services. A starting point for understanding how to utilize Docker compose files, which are drafted in a mark-up language named YAML, can be found here:

In contrast a dockerfile is a set of build instructions, which could be run at a command line to manually create a Docker image. A dockerfile provides a way to automate the image building process, and is much lighter weight in terms of disk space taken compared with a typical image. A one line command in a dockerfile could pull in a multi-megabyte library or binary. Some information on dockerfiles here:
