Official web page http://docker.io.

Docker is both a client and a server: the server is a daemon that runs on Linux. The normal approach was that you used docker on the same server the daemon was running on - however it was possible to connect the docker client to a remote docker daemon.

Installation

Which OS to install?

Containers vs virtual machines

OS containers vs application containers

Differences:

  • OS containers: LXC, OpenVZ, Linux VServer, BSD Jails and Solaris zones. The container acts as VPS.
  • App containers: Docker, Rocket. The container acts as an application.

Current release version

Ubuntu x86 and Mint

# Uninstall old versions
$ sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io

# Install using the repository
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    software-properties-common
$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
# Note that for Linux Mint we need to change $(lsb_release -cs) to a proper name
# For example, xenial for Mint 18.x and bionic for Mint 19.x
$ sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce

# Verify
$ sudo docker run hello-world

Without sudo, Post-installation

To use docker without sudo, follow the instruction on the official guide. 

# Add the docker group if it doesn't already exist.
# sudo groupadd docker

# Add your user to the docker group.
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

# Log out and log in

Boot2Docker

For Windows and OS operation systems, we have to use Boot2Docker. Boot2Docker is a local virtual machine with its own network interface and IP address. To find the Boot2Docker IP address you can check the value of the DOCKER_HOST environment variable. You're be prompted to set this variable when you start or install Boot2Docker the first time. You can find the IP address by running boot2docker ip command.

Note that since Windows and OS X don't share a file system as Linux, the command 'docker run' with '-v' flag to mount a local directory into a Docker container will not work with Boot2Docker release prior to 1.3. The support for volumes is now available for OS X but is not yet present for Windows with the release of Boot2Docker 1.3.

Windows

Docker can be run on Windows 10 Pro as a native application; see

The information below is based on running Docker on Windows 7.1 and 8. Your processor needs to support hardware virtualization.

  • Windows Installer includes msys-git, Virtualbox, Boot2Docker-cli management tool and Boot2Docker ISO.
  • Installation instruction for Windows OS. It will install Boot2Docker management tool with the boot2docker iso (based on Tiny Core Linux), Virtualbox and MYSYS-git UNIX tools.
  • Docker needs Admin right to be installed. However, Virtualbox can be installed by user's account.
  • If the installer detects a version of VirtualBox installed, the VirtualBox checkbox will not be checked by default (Windows OS). The VirtualBox cannot be used anymore after updating my VB from 4.3.18 to 4.3.20. The error may be related to Windows update according to Virtualbox forum.
Error in supR3HardenedWinReSpawn
  • Note that boot2docker cannot be installed/run inside a Windows guest machine. See this post and my Virtualbox wiki here. If we try to launch boot2docker-vm from Virtualbox, we will see a message "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU."
  • After I switch back to an old version of virtualbox, every thing works again. I can even install Docker successfully.
    • Boot2Docker Start icon cannot be run directly because Notepad++ will automatically open it. A possible solution is to go to control panel and change default program for .sh file from Notepad++ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\bash.exe.
    • The above step does not work well since a terminal appears and disappears quickly.
    • A working approach is to open Git Bash from Start menu. And run /c/Program Files/Boot2DockerforWindows/start.sh (or boot2docker start or boot2docer init)
    • A new VM called 'boot2docker-vm' will be created (we can open VirtualBox Manager to check). But I got an error error in run: Failed to start machine "boot2docker-vm" (run again with -v for details). The VM has an error on Network>Adapter2>VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter #2. So I open the setting of <boot2docker-vm>, go to Network > Adapter 2 and change the dropdown list of Name from VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter #2 to VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter.
    • Now it works either I directly click boot2docker-vm VM from VB Manager or use the command start.sh from Git Bash.

Hello from Docker.
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (Assuming it was not already locally available.)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

Install utilities in Boot2docker VM

http://blog.tutum.co/2014/11/05/how-to-use-docker-on-windows/

For example, to install cifs-utils, 

wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/5.x/x86/tcz/cifs-utils.tcz
tce-load -i cifs-utils.tcz

Mac

If you have Mac, you don't have to use boot2docker (iso & its management tool). You can use other Linux which comes with docker pre-installed. See this post.

Dry – An Interactive CLI Manager For Docker Containers. The TUI is built on top of termui; a cross-platform, easy-to-compile, and fully-customizable terminal dashboard. It is inspired by blessed-contrib, but purely in Go.

Portainer* (nice)

Go to http://192.168.1.98:9000. But I still don't see the other containers that are running now:(
A username/password is required to access the page unless we use the --no-auth option; see Configuration.

DockerUI (Deprecated, Development continues at Portainer)

https://github.com/kevana/ui-for-docker. A quick start:

  1. Run: 
    docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --privileged \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock uifd/ui-for-docker
    where -v means to bind mount a volume.
  2. Open your browser to http://<dockerd host ip>:9000

Note: Anyone in the local network can access the website without any authentication.

The only issue is there is no username/password to protect other people to access the web GUI. The solution of binding to localhost to restrict the access does not work for remote administration.

That is, the tool is suitable for home use.

Restart docker daemon

When I try the Chap5 > Continuous integration (Jenkins) of the Docker Book, I found I cannot stop/kill the container. See others' report here. The solution is to restart the docker daemon. 

sudo service docker start

After that, I can stop and rm the container. 

sudo docker stop jenkins
sudo docker rm jenkins
sudo docker ps -a

When we want to delete a container, we use the container's CONTAINER ID or NAME (last column output from docker ps -a). But when we want to delete an image, we use the image's REPOSITORY or IMAGE ID (2nd column output from docker images)

$ sudo docker rm dc9e82f2c00a       # eddelbuettel/docker-ubuntu-r:add-r-devel-san
$ sudo docker ps -a   # check to see the container is gone now

$ sudo docker rmi 6e0f5644b2fd
$ sudo docker rmi iman/touch
$ sudo docker images  # check to see the images are gone now

Update/upgrade images

I have an image called 'rocker/tidyverse:latest' that was pulled sometime ago. I ran docker pull rocker/tidyverse:latest' again. It will pull the latest image. The old image was not deleted and it has a new tag <none>.

How to remove a signed image with a <none> tag

Same thing happened today. I run docker pull r-base to upgrade my r-base from v3.6.3 to v4.0.0. After the upgrade, the old image has a tag <none>. I can use docker rmi command to remove the <none> image.

<none>:<none> images

Exit/detach from a container without stopping it

$ docker container run -it ubuntu:latest /bin/bash
# Ctrl+p, Ctrl+q to exit the container without terminating it
$ docker ps -a # showing the container 70c5aceb5512 is running in the background

# You can reattach your terminal to it with the "docker container exec" command
$ docker container exec -it 70c5aceb5512 bash

Dockerizing Applications/Detached mode

$ sudo docker run -d --name insane_babbage ubuntu:14.04 /bin/sh -c "while true; do echo hello world; sleep 1; done"
$ sudo docker ps -l
$ sudo docker logs insane_babbage
$ sudo docker stop insane_babbage
$ sudo docker ps

The -d flag tells Docker to run the container and put it in the background, to daemonize it.

According to https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#detached-vs-foreground, containers started in detached mode exit when the root process used to run the container exits, unless you also specify the --rm option. If you use -d with --rm, the container is removed when it is stopped, exits or when the daemon exits, whichever happens first.

Automatically restart after reboot

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18786054/how-to-auto-restart-a-docker-container-after-a-reboot-in-coreos

Add a --restart=always parameter. It will always restart a stopped container unless it has been explicitly stopped, such as via a "docker container stop" command. See the following 

$ docker run -d --restart always myCustomeDocker

$ docker container run --name neverdie -it --restart always ubuntu /bin/bash
# exit
$ docker ps -a  # the container is still ther
$ docker stop neverdie
$ docker ps -a

Working with Containers

$ sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
$ sudo docker version
$ sudo docker
$ sudo docker attach --help

Alpine image

apk add htop

Running a Web Application

$ sudo docker run -d -P training/webapp python app.py

Alpine linux is 6MB. It is a good OS to run a web application. See the demo here.

Viewing our Web Application Container

$ sudo docker ps -l
$ sudo docker run -d -p 5000:5000 training/webapp python app.py

Container networking

$ docker network create MyNewNetworkName
$ docker network ls
NETWORK ID          NAME                DRIVER              SCOPE
abae0010bf2c        MyNewNetworkName    bridge              local
bf4e73473028        bridge              bridge              local
7dac0804bc33        host                host                local

$ docker network remove MyNewNetworkName
# OR docker network rm MyNewNetworkName

Host network

If you use the host network driver for a container, that container’s network stack is not isolated from the Docker host. For instance, if you run a container which binds to port 80 and you use host networking, the container’s application will be available on port 80 on the host’s IP address.

ping, ifconfig and ip commands not found in Ubuntu container

Network Port Shortcut

$ sudo docker port nostalgic_morse 5000

Viewing the Web Application's Logs

$ sudo docker logs -f nostalgic_morse

Looking at our Web Application Container's processes

$ sudo docker top nostalgic_morse

Inspecting our Web Application Container

$ sudo docker inspect nostalgic_morse

Obtain the container's IP address, log into a running server

$ docker inspect <container id> | grep "IPAddress"

Then to log into a running server, use 

$ docker exec -it <contianer id> bash

docker exec: SSH into a running container

Run a command in a running container

  • Usage: 
    docker exec [OPTIONS] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]
  • Examples: 
    $ docker exec -d ubuntu_bash touch /tmp/execWorks # do st in the background

$ docker exec -it ubuntu_bash bash

$ docker exec -it -e VAR=1 ubuntu_bash bash # set an environment variable

$ docker exec -it ubuntu_bash pwd
$ docker exec -it -w /root ubuntu_bash pwd # change the working directory

docker cp

Copy files/folders between a container and the local filesystem.

Restart an exited Container

$ sudo docker start nostalgic_morse
OR
$ sudo docker restart nostalgic_morse

Inspect container images and their metadata

MicroBadger

Know the container size

docker ps -s

Meaning of two sizes

  • The "size" information shows the amount of data (on disk) that is used for the writable layer of each container
  • The "virtual size" is the amount of disk-space used for the read-only image data used by the container.

Removing our Web Application Container

$ sudo docker stop nostalgic_morse
$ sudo docker rm nostalgic_morse

Note: Always remember that deleting a container is final!

Dockerize an SSH service

https://docs.docker.com/engine/examples/running_ssh_service/#environment-variables

Remove old docker containers

This post on stackoverflow.com. 

$ sudo docker ps -a | grep 'weeks ago' | awk '{print $1}' | xargs --no-run-if-empty sudo docker rm

Similarly to remove all exited containers 

$ sudo docker ps -a | grep Exit | awk '{print $1}' | xargs sudo docker rm

To kill/stop (not delete) all running containers 

$ sudo docker kill $(sudo docker ps -q)

To delete all stopped containers 

$ sudo docker rm $(sudo docker ps -a -q)
OR
$ sudo docker rm `sudo docker ps -a -q`

It is also helpful to create bash aliases for these commands by editing ~/.bash_aliases file.

docker create vs docker run

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37744961/docker-run-vs-create

docker create is similar to docker run -d except the container is never started.

Volume

Two ways to achieve persistent data

Inspect the 'Mountpoint' of a volume

$ docker volume create crv
$ docker volume ls

$ docker run -d \
     --name mycloud \
     -p 81:80 \
     -v apps:/var/www/html/custom_apps \
     nextcloud

# docker inspect is not quite useful. It does not show how the volume was created
# But we can examine (ls, du, ...) the directory contents
$ docker inspect apps   
[
    {
        "CreatedAt": "2018-10-23T09:41:52-04:00",
        "Driver": "local",
        "Labels": null,
        "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/apps/_data",
        "Name": "apps",
        "Options": null,
        "Scope": "local"
    }
]

Remove an an unnamed volume

If you created an unnamed volume, it can be deleted at the same time as the container with the -v flag. Note that this only works with unnamed volumes. 

docker rm -v container_name

If the volume is named, it stays present. To remove a named volume, use docker volume rm volume_name .

Start a container with a volume

--mount -v
docker run -d \

--name devtest \
--mount source=myvol2,target=/app \
nginx:latest

docker run -d \

--name devtest \
-v myvol2:/app \
nginx:latext

Note

  • target in "--mount" can be replaced by destination or dst.
  • To use a read-only volume, add the ,readonly option in "--mount" or the :ro option in "-v".

A simple example

From the book "Learn Docerk -Fundamentals of Docker 18.x". Chap 5. Data Volumes and System Management > Creating and mounting data volumes. 

# Create a volume
docker volume create my-data
docker volume inspect my-data
# The host folder can be found in the output under 'Mountpoint'
# In my case,
#        "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/my-data/_data",

# Mount a volume into a container
docker run --name test -it -v my-data:/data alpine /bin/sh
# cd /data
# echo 'some data' > data.txt
# echo 'more data' > data2.txt
# exit
docker inspect my-data
sudo ls /var/lib/docker/volumes/my-data/_data
# We can even try to output the content of say, the second file:
sudo cat /var/lib/docker/volumes/my-data/_data/data2.txt
# We can create a new file in this folder from the host and then use the volume with another container
echo "the file is created on host" > sudo tee /var/lib/docker/volumes/my-data/_data/host-data
# Let's delete the test container and run another one
docker rm test

# This time we are mounting our volume to a different container folder
docker run --name test2 -it -v my-data:/app/data centos:7 /bin/bash
# We are able to see three files:
# ls /app/data

# Remove volumes
docker volume rm my-data # Or 
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)

# Remove all running containers to clean up the system,
docker rm -f $(docker ls -aq)

Sharing data between containers

docker run -it --name writer -v shared-data:/data alpine /bin/sh
# create a file inside it
# echo 'my sample file' > /data/sample.txt
# exit
docker run -it --name reader -v shared-data:/app/data:ro ubuntu:17.04 /bin/bash
# ls -l /app/data

Using host volumes

Use volumes that mount a specific host folder

  • It may be possible for the "docker volume" command to mount a local directory to a volume. See examples in the "docker volume create" documentation.
  • Specifying a directory name instead of giving a volume name in the "docker run" 's -v option
  • Since we are specifying a directory name instead of letting docker to create a new volume, "docker volume ls" will not getting a new volume
docker run -it --name test -v $(pwd)/src:/app/src alpine /bin/sh

# Make a sample to demonstrate how that works
mkdir ~/my-web; cd ~/my-web
echo "<h1>My website</h1>" > index.html

# Create 'Dockerfile'
echo -e 'FROM nginx:alpine
COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html' > Dockerfile

docker image build -t my-website:1.0 .
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name my-site my-website:1.0

# Open http://localhost:8080. It looks good
# Now modify index.html and refresh the website. It does not refresh
# Let's stop and rm the container and rebuild using a volume
docker rm -f my-site
docker run -d -v $(pwd):/usr/share/nginx/html \
   -p 8080:80 --name my-site my-website:1.0
# Now any changes on index.html will refresh on the website

Define volumes in images

A few samples of volume definition 

VOLUME /app/data
VOLUME /app/data, /app/profiles, /app/config
VOLUME {"/app/data", "/app/profiles", "/app/config"]

The first line defines a single volume to be mounted at /app/data.

We can use the docker image inspect command to get information about the volumes defined in the Dockerfile. 

docker image pull mongo:3.7
docker image inspect --format='{{json .ContainerConfig.Volumes}}' \
       mongo:3.7 | jq
# {
#   "/data/configdb": {},
#   "/data/db": {}
# }

# now run an instance of MongoDB and inspect the volume information
docker run --name my-mongo -d mongo:3.7
docker inspect --format '{{json .Mounts}}' my-mongo | jq
# [
#  {
#    "Type": "volume",
#    "Name": "535e0138b9a32e89f71380e9e73bb0de64ce0d1cad78fcda0ec1d49e11d76d7a",
#    "Source": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/535e0138b9a32e89f71380e9e73bb0de64ce0d1.../_data",
#    "Destination": "/data/configdb",
#    "Driver": "local",
#    "Mode": "",
#    "RW": true,
#    "Propagation": ""
#  },
#  {
#    "Type": "volume",
# SKIP

Work with container images

Create an image interactively using commit - Example 1

The example is from the book 'Learn Docker - Fundamentals of Docker 18.x'. 

docker container run -it --name sample alpine /bin/sh
# apk update && apk add iputils
# ping 127.0.0.1
# exit
docker container ls -a | grep sample
docker container diff sample

We can now use the docker container commit command to persist our modifications and create a new image from them 

docker container commit sample my-alpine
docker images ls

If we want to see how our custom image has been built, we can use the history command as follows: 

docker image history my-alpine
# IMAGE               CREATED              CREATED BY                                      SIZE    COMMENT
# 0f105057899b        About a minute ago   /bin/sh                                         1.55MB              
# 196d12cf6ab1        4 weeks ago          /bin/sh -c #(nop)  CMD ["/bin/sh"]              0B                  
# <missing>           4 weeks ago          /bin/sh -c #(nop) ADD file:25c10b1d1b41d46a1…   4.41MB

The first layer in the preceding list is the one we just created by adding the iputils package.

Create an image interactively using commit - Example 2

Note that it is better/necessary to put the Dockerfile in an empty directory to avoid the problem of taking a long time to build the image (sending build context to Docker daemon ...GB ) since it will grab files from the current directory. 

sudo docker search sinatra
sudo docker pull training/sinatra
sudo docker run -t -i training/sinatra /bin/bash
sudo docker commit -m="Added json gem" -a="Kate Smith" 0b2616b0e5a8 ouruser/sinatra:v2
sudo docker images

cd sinatra
touch Dockerfile
sudo docker build -t="ouruser/sinatra:v2" .
sudo docker push ouruser/sinatra

Dockerfile

  • Dockerfile Reference
  • Using Dockerfiles to Automate Building of Images from digitalocean.com.
  • Remember to put the Dockerfile in an empty directory.
  • What goes into a Dockerfile
  • Keywords
    • FROM. If we want to start from scratch, we can use FROM scratch.
    • RUN. The argument for RUN is any valid Linux command.
    • USER. This is useful if we want to create new files with a non-root owner privilege. For example, new files created under a binding directory with a non-root user ownership will belong to the current user in the host system. Here is an example where we use Rmarkdown to create pdf output. The generated pdf file should not be own by root. How to add users to Docker container? Switch users.
    • COPY & ADD.
      • "COPY . /app" will copy all files and folders from the current directory recursively to the /app folder. We can use "ADD" too but "ADD" will automatically unpack tarballs. See What is the difference between the `COPY` and `ADD` commands in a Dockerfile?
      • "ADD sample.tar /app/bin" will unpack the sample.tar' file into the target folder
      • "ADD http://example.com/sample.txt /data/" will copy the remote file sample.txt into the target file
    • WORKDIR. Define the working directory or context that is used when a container is run from the image.
    • CMD & ENTRYPOINT. These two are actually definitions of what will happen when a container is started from the image.
      • Use CMD without ENTRYPOINT: "CMD command param1 param2". This form is called the shell form.
      • If we use ENTRYPOINT + CMD, ENTRYPOINT defines the command and CMD defines parameters. The example above will run ping 8.8.8.8 -c 3. This form is called the exec form.
  • The Docker Book
  • rocker (R and RStudio)
  • Bioconductor

Examples of Dockerfile

FROM python:2.7
RUN mkdir -p /app
WORKDIR /app
COPY ./requirements.txt /app/
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
CMD ["python", "main.py"]
  • Another example
FROM alpine:latest
ENTRYPOINT ["ping"]
CMD ["8.8.8.8", "-c", "3"]

FROM debian:testing
RUN useradd docker \
	&& mkdir /home/docker \
	&& chown docker:docker /home/docker \
	&& addgroup docker staff

We can test it by "docker build -t mydebian . " and "docker run --rm -it --user docker -v /tmp:/home/docker mydebian". We can create a new file under /home/docker and the file will be accessible and belongs to the current host user once we quit the container. This actually is a huge security issue.

The same technique does not work on alpine if I try to create a new file in the container. 

FROM alpine:latest
# Create a group and user; not useful for creating files in host OS
RUN addgroup -S appgroup && adduser -S appuser -G appgroup \
           && chown appuser:appgroup /home/appuser

"docker build -t myalpine . " and "docker run --rm -it -v ~/Downloads/:/home/appuser:rw --user appuser myalpine". When I use the "id" command in the container, I see it returns 100 in alpine container and 1000 in debian container. The id returns 1000 on my host (Ubuntu/Pop_OS). So the solution is docker run --rm -it -v ~/Downloads/:/home/appuser --user 1000:1000 myalpine. So the local user and the created user home directory in the container are not needed. See

How to use Dockerfile

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/ 

docker build -t [myname] .  
# Multiple tags
docker build -t arraytools/biospear:latest -t arraytools/biospear:3.6.0 .

In the above example, we can create the image by 

docker image build -t pinger .

We can run a container from the pinger image 

docker container run --rm -it pinger

ENTRYPOINT and CMD

The advantage of using ENTRYPOINT + CMD (exec form) instead of using CMD alone (shell form) is we can override the CMD part that I have defined in the Dockerfile. 

docker container run --rm -it pinger -w 5 127.0.0.1
# ping the loopback for 5 seconds

If we want to overwrite what's defined in the ENTRYPOINT in the Dockerfile, we need to use the --entrypoint parameter. 

docker container run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/sh pinger
# we'll be inside the container. Type exit to leave the container

When we use the shell form, the ENTRYPOINT is have the default value of /bin/sh -c and whatever is the value of CMD will be passed as a string to the shell command.

Temporary failure resolving 'deb.debian.org' when running "docker build"

Add "--net=host" to the docker build command. See Docker build “Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'” apt-get fails to install anything

Best practices for writing Dockerfiles

Use multi-stage builds

https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/

With multi-stage builds, we have a single Dockerfile containing multiple FROM instructions. Each FROM instruction is a new build stage that can easily COPY artifacts from previous stages.

An example from the "Docker Deep Dive" book.

tag after image was built

$ docker tag <imageID> <newName>/<repoName>:<tagName>

List all tags of an image

How can I list all tags for a Docker image on a remote registry?

Tag the image with the git commit ID

$ docker build -t REPOS/IMAGE:$(git rev-parse --verify HEAD)

Run a shell script on host

$ docker run -v /path/to/sample_script.sh:/sample_script.sh \
  --rm ubuntu bash sample_script.sh

# GATK container example
# First we log in interactive and see where is the default location (/usr in this case)
$ docker run --rm -i -t broadinstitute/gatk3:3.8-0 bash
$ cat > tmp.sh << EOF
> pwd
> ls
> java -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar --version
> EOF
$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/usr/my broadinstitute/gatk3:3.8-0 bash my/tmp.sh
# ALTERNATIVELY, WE CAN PUT OUR SCRIPT IN THE TOP DIRECTORY (Hopefully the name is not duplicated)
$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/tmp.sh:/tmp.sh broadinstitute/gatk3:3.8-0 bash /tmp.sh

docker run -d -v$(pwd):/my SOMEIMAGE bash 
docker exec -d Test bash /my/script.sh

Docker DNS/internet problem

I got an error on resolving the debian server when I was creating an image from a Dockerfile that needs to run apt update and apt install commands. See RStudio in Docker – now share your R code effortlessly!. The problem happened on my Linux Mint Desktop but not on a VirtualBox VM (Ubuntu 18.04).

Fix Docker's networking DNS config

A temporary solution is to add the --dns option to docker run command. This works well when I use the IP from any one of my 2 DNS servers. It does not work however if I use the IP from google DNS or OpenDNS.

A permanent solution is to create a new file /etc/docker/daemon.json and include the working DNS server IPs (these are obtained through the nmcli command or the NetworkManager GUI; see Query DNS server). 

{
    "dns": ["XXX.XX.XX.XX", "YYY.YY.YY.YY"]
}

Then restart the docker service: sudo service docker restart

A quick test on the DNS problem is 

docker run --rm busybox nslookup google.com

                       # Docker will ask for confirmation before deleting the containers

docker container prune -f
docker container rm -f $(docker container ls -aq) # remove even the running containers
  • Prune images
docker images prune # unused image layers
  • Prune volumes
docker volume prune # unused volumes by at least one container

docker volume prune --filter 'label=demo'
docker volume prune --filter 'label=demo' --filter 'label=test'

How to transfer/copy an image to another host

How to copy Docker images from one host to another without using a repository 

# Step 1: save the Docker image as a tar file:
docker save -o <path for generated tar file> <image name>

# Step 2: copy your image to a new system with regular file transfer tools such as cp or scp. 

# Step 3: After that you will have to load the image into Docker:
docker load -i <path to image tar file>

The tar file size is the same as what we get from 'docker image'. If we use the 'gzip' utility, it can reduce the file size (e.g 2.7GB to 1.1GB).

Or https://stackoverflow.com/a/39716019 

# Step 1:
docker save docker-image-name | gzip > my-image.tar.gz
# Step 3:
docker load < my-image.tar.gz

Where are Docker images stored on the host: /var/lib/docker

The default is /var/lib/docker. The location can be changed by modifying the file /etc/default/docker. Three options if we are tight on the disk space.

1. Create a softlinks for the Docker data directory (/var/lib/docker) and for /var/lib/docker/tmp as described at miscellaneous-options. See this. See for how to stop docker daemon on different OS. 

sudo service docker stop   # or sudo systemctl stop docker
sudo mv /var/lib/docker /a/new/location
sudo ln -s /a/new/location /var/lib/docker # Create a symbolic link
sudo service docker start  # or sudo systemctl start docker

2. Change the default location to another place. For example, 

sudo nano /etc/default/docker
# Add a line DOCKER_OPTS="-g /home/brb/Docker"

Then after running sudo service docker.io restart and then a simple pull sudo docker pull rocker/r-base or sudo docker run --rm -ti rocker/r-base (the Dockerfile of r-base is available on github.com, --rm option means Automatically remove the container when it exits), we will see something like this: 

$ docker run --rm -ti rocker/r-base
$ docker images
$ docker -v
Docker version 1.0.1, build 990021a

$ docker -D info | grep Root
 Root Dir: /home/brb/Docker/aufs

Monitor tools

Docker Machine

Docker Machine is a tool that lets you

  • Install Docker Engine on virtual hosts. You can use Machine (a unified way) to create Docker hosts on your local Mac or Windows box, on your company network, in your data center, or on cloud providers like Azure, AWS, or Digital Ocean. See the comment on here.
  • Provision and manage multiple remote Docker hosts
  • Provision Swarm clusters

Docker machine is not installed in Linux when you install Docker. See the instruction on here to install it.

My feeling is if we just want to play Docker on a local Linux machine, we don't really need to use Docker Machine (it just make life more complicated). But if we are working on Mac/Windows or we want to work on clouds or test on VirtualBox, we shall use Docker machines.

Use Docker-machine to Create Docker Servers. Compare the Docker images on the local machine (server 1) & a new host (server 2) created by docker-machine. Question: 1. how to tell we are in the host/machine environment? 2. how to exit the host environment after we use eval $() command? docker-machine stop MachineName. 

$ docker-machine help
$ docker-machine create --driver=virtualbox test
# Follow its hint on the output, issue the following command
$ docker-machine env test
# Follow its hint on the output, issue the following command
$ eval$(docker-machine env test) # will configure the docker CLI to connect to this docker machine 'test'
                                 # This is equivalent to running 4 export commands on the command line
$ docker-machine ls  # Very useful
$ docker-machine stop test
$ docker-machine ip test
$ docker-machine start test
$ docker-machine rm test

Play Docker Machine on Mac with Virtualbox. Docker can be used to create a virtual machine just like Vagrant. 

$ docker-machine create -d virtualbox demo
$ docker-machine ls

# first way to access a Docker host
$ docker-machine ssh demo
docker@demo:~$ docker images # empty for now

# second way to access 
$ docker-machine env demo
$ eval $(docker-machine env demo)
$ docker version

RancherOS demo video used the docker-machine command to pull and run the RancherOS. 

docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-boot2docker-url https://releases.rancher.com/os/latest/rancheros.iso demo

Docker Compose <docker-compose.yaml>

Docker Compose can help us out as it allows us to specify a single file in which we can define our entire environment structure and run it with a single command (much like a Vagrantfile works).

An example from 'Fundamentals of Docker'

git clone https://github.com/fundamentalsofdocker/labs.git
cd labs/ch08
docker-compose up
# Open http://localhost:3000/pet

The images do not show up:( The terminal shows what has happened under the hood. So the problem is the http links for images do not exist.

We can also run the application in the background 

docker-compose up -d

To stop and clean up the application, 

docker-compose down

If we also want to remove the volume for the database 

docker volume rm ch08_pets-data

An example from "How to Setup NGINX as Reverse Proxy Using Docker"

See here. Only nginx is used.

An example from "Docker Deep Dive" (flask + redis)

Note that on Get started with Docker Compose it mounts the current directory to /code inside the container. So after we modify app.py, we don't need to copy it to the container.

Cloud provider

Docker can be deployed on any cloud provider like Digital Ocean, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Computing.

ownCloud

After I use docker run --rm --name myowncloud -p 81:80 owncloud:8.1, I find I can only access it through http://localhost:81. If I try to access it through another computer by http://xxx.xxx.xx.1:81, the URL is changed back to http://localhost:81 so it failed to load.

nextcloud

I feel nextcloud is a little modern than owncloud though their interface are very similar. I got the same problem (URL is changed from IP to localhost) when I try to access its web from another computer. Using the IP instead of localhost to finish the initial setup can fix the error.

Note:

  • The first we open the webpage, we need to create the admin username/password.
  • Nextcloud uses owncloud mobile application.
  • Nextcloud includes a small mp4 file. I can use browser to play mp4. Photos files can be opened in browsers too (including slideshow).

Nextcloud Apps

For mp3, no apps are shipped with nextcloud.

  • Audio Player. When I play mp3 files, the web interface does not show a progress bar:( 
    $ docker run --rm --name mynextcloud -v ~/Downloads/nextcloudapps:/var/www/html/custom_apps -p 81:80 nextcloud
# above will create an empty folder ~/Downloads/nextcloudapps (www-data:root)
$ tar xzvf Downloads/audioplayer-2.3.1.tar.gz -C Downloads/
$ docker cp Downloads/audioplayer mynextcloud:/var/www/html/custom_apps
# Go to nextcloud and '+Apps', a new app 'Audio Player' should have shown up.
  • Music. GOOD. The app is from the owncloud team though for some reason the app is not included in owncloud/nextcloud. Yes, a progress bar is shown when I played a song downloaded from Youtube:) 
    # No need to create a volume
$ docker run -d --name mycloud -p 81:80 nextcloud

# Open another terminal
# Don't download the zip file from github. Get the zip file from the app store
$ tar xzvf ~/Downloads/music_0.7.0_nc-signed.tar.gz -C ~/Downloads/
$ docker cp Downloads/music mycloud:/var/www/html/custom_apps
$ docker exec mycloud chmod -R 0750 /var/www/html/custom_apps
$ docker exec mycloud chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/custom_apps
    Now open the website. Click the gear icon (Settings) and click "Apps". Find out the 'music' app from the bottom of the list and click the 'Enable' button. A new Music icon will be created next to the Gallery icon at the top. Note: if we want to play music repeatedly, I should not play the music directly from Files. I should click the Music icon at the top and let it start to scan musics. Then once I can play a music from there, it will show two new icons; one is shuffle and the other is loop. To have a persistent data, we can 'run' using 
    $ mkdir -p ~/nextcloud/{html,apps,config,data}
$ docker run -d \
    --name mycloud \
    -p 81:80 \
    -v ~/nextcloud/html:/var/www/html \
    -v ~/nextcloud/apps:/var/www/html/custom_apps \
    -v ~/nextcloud/config:/var/www/html/config \
    -v ~/nextcloud/data:/var/www/html/data \
    nextcloud
    If we like to delete the contain and its unamed volume, run 
    $ docker stop mycloud; docker rm -v mycloud
    If we run the container again mounting all volumes, all apps,files,configuration,admin's username & password are kept.
  • PDF viewer. PDF files will be downloaded instead of opening on the browser. This can be easily fixed. Click '+Apps' from the personal settings (the response is slow when I tested using Docker). Search for PDF viewer. Click the 'Enable' button (it will be changed to 'Disable' after that)
  • draw.io. After enable it, we can click the "+" sign and choose "Diagram" to create a new diagram (*.xml).
  • Radio. After enable it, a new "Radio" icon will be shown at the top. Only 20 stations are available from the 'Top'. No response after I clicked "Categories".

Use with R (r-base) & RStudio IDE: Rocker

docker pull r-base:3.5.3
docker run --net=host -it --rm r-base:3.5.3               # default is root "/"
docker run --net=host -v ~/Downloads:/src -it --rm r-base # /src does not exist
docker run --net=host -v ~/Downloads:/home/docker -it --rm r-base # /home/docker exists and is empty

Dockerfile

Create a new directory and a new file 'Dockerfile' with the content. 

FROM debian:testing
MAINTAINER Dirk Eddelbuettel [email protected]
## Remain current
RUN apt-get update -qq
RUN apt-get dist-upgrade -y
RUN apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends r-base r-base-dev r-recommended littler
RUN ln -s /usr/share/doc/littler/examples/install.r /usr/local/bin/install.r

NOTE

  1. From r-base in DockerHub click the "latest" in the "Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links" section.
  2. I ran into errors when I use the above (short) Dockerfile. But the Dockerfile from rocker (leave out the last line of launching R) works well. The R packages built in the image include 'docopt', 'magrittr', 'stringi', and 'stringr'.
  3. Install R package is possible when we launch a container. But we are not able to save the packages?? The rocker wiki also mentions something about installing packages.
  4. See also How to save data in wiki.

A quick run of an R script

docker run --rm \
  -v $(pwd):/tmp/working_dir \
  -w /tmp/working_dir \
  rocker/tidyverse:latest \
  Rscript my_script.R

docker run

Note that if we are using the Dockerfile above to create an image, we will be dropped to the Linux shell. If we are pulling the rocker/r-base image from Docker Hub, we will be in R console directly. See the last line of Dockerfile on github website for rocker.

Then run the following to do some exercise (We could possibly replace 21b6a9e8b9e8 with your image ID or use rocker/r-base). For simplicity, we can try the colortools package first which does not depend on other packages and there is no need to compile the package.

Note that the tag name should be lower case; awesomer instead awesomeR.

Bioc Conference

  • Bioc2019 conference. Workshopt material. Before the meeting (6/20/2019) there are 13 downloads and it bumps to 32 downloads after the meeting for the docker image.
    • Download a tarball containing R packages (binary). 605 packages are included. It bundles 605 packages based on R 3.6.0 and Bioconductor 3.10 (BiocManager 1.30.4).
    • Run RStudio container. All R packages downloaded in the last step are mounted. (user=rstudio, ps=bioc). That is, built-in is at /usr/local/lib/R/library, custom is at /usr/local/lib/R/site-library. These two locations are what .libPaths() gives.
  • BioC 2020
    • Workshop packages were created using the BuildABiocWorkshop2020 template. From the 'Dockerfile', we see each workshop material is organized as an R package. So each workshop's package is built in the Docker image. There is no need to build the vignette again. NOTE: it takes a while to build the Docker image locally since it requires to compile each R package separately.
    • BioC 2020: Where Software and Biology Connect Opening Remarks
    • Take the recount2 workshop for example, we don't need to knit the Rmd file. To view HTML vignette, we type browseVignettes(package="recountWorkshop2020") and click the link "HTML". In case of the requested page was not found error, add help/ to the URL right after the hostname, e.g., http://localhost:8787/help/library/recountWorkshop2020/doc/recount-workshop.html. Another way to open the HTML without any tweak is type "help(package = 'recountWorkshop2020')" -> User Guide -> HTML.

Docker for Shiny Server

  • Pin package versions in your production Docker image. Need to modify Dockerfile to install 'shiny' along with 'renv'. We need to create a directory 'shinyapp' with simple shiny files (eg kmeans example). 
    docker build -t pinrpackageversion .
mkdir shinyapp
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstudio/shiny-examples/master/050-kmeans-example/ui.R -P shinyapp
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstudio/shiny-examples/master/050-kmeans-example/server.R -P shinyapp
docker run --name shinyapp --rm -p 3838:3838 pinrpackageversion
  • Question: what happened if there is a new version of R or shiny-sever?
# specify --name so we don't need to use container id to access it later
$ docker run -d --name rshiny -p 81:3838 rocker/shiny 

$ docker ps -l

# Run in container's bash

$ docker stop rshiny
$ docker rm rshiny   # remove the container

It is also useful to use the -v option in docker run so the local directory (eg /srv/shinyapps/) can be mapped to the docker volume (/srv/shiny-server). 

# Put your shiny app in host's /srv/shinyapps/appdir,
$ docker run -d -p 81:3838 \
    -v /srv/shinyapps/:/srv/shiny-server/ \
    -v /srv/shinylog/:/var/log/shiny-server/ \
    rocker/shiny

And check running status 

$ docker ps -a

Other containers

Singularity and HPC systems

  • Old URL at singularity.lbl.gov
  • Singularity enables users to have full control of their environment; Singularity containers let users run applications in a Linux environment of their choosing. No 'sudo' is needed in general unless you want to build a container from a recipe.
  • Containers are more like an executable file for you to use
  • Containers are stored under the current location. It does not have a centre location (like /etc/default/docker if we use docker) to store images.
  • Can convert Docker containers to Singularity and run containers directly from Docker Hub
  • These bind points cannot be created unless the path already exists within the container. To ensure access to these storage spaces and remedy bind point errors, create these directories in the %post section of your Bootstrap file.
  • Singularity Hub

Comparison of docker and singularity commands:

docker singularity
$ docker pull ubuntu:latest
$ docker pull broadinstitute/gatk3:3.8-0		 $ singularity pull docker://ubuntu:latest
$ singularity pull docker://broadinstitute/gatk3:3.8-0
$ docker build $ singularity build
$ docker shell (not exist) $ singularity shell docker://broadinstitute/gatk3-3.8-0
$ singularity shell gatk3-3.8-0.img
> ls # the default location depends on the host system

> ls /usr # this is from the container

$ singularity shell --bind ~/Downloads:/mnt XXX.img
$ singularity shell docker://ubuntu:latest
# container is ephemeral

$ docker run --name test -it ubuntu date

# The next example is similar to 'singularity exec'
$ docker run --rm -i -t \
-v $(pwd):/usr/my_data \
broadinstitute/gatk3:3.8-0 \
bash /usr/my_data/myscript.sh		 $ singularity run gatk3-3.8-0.img date
$ docker run --name ubuntu_bash --rm -i -t ubuntu bash
$ docker exec -d ubuntu_bash touch /tmp/execWorks		 # Most useful
$ singularity exec gatk3-3.8-0.img java -version
$ singularity exec xxx.img cat /etc/*release
$ singularity exec docker://rocker/tidyverse:latest R
$ singularity exec docker://rocker/tidyverse:latest Rscript myScript.R

Cache

When we run singularity exec docker://rocker/tidyverse:latest R, it will save something in the cache in our system.

It seems to be OK after I manually delete the directory $HOME/.singularity (tested in Biowulf).

RStudio

$ singularity exec docker://rocker/tidyverse:latest R
$ singularity exec docker://rocker/tidyverse:latest Rscript myScript.R

Shifter

Conda

Bioconda

Using docker to install conda (https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tutorials/index.html) 

$ docker run -t -i --name test --net=host ubuntu bash
# apt-get update
# apt-get install -y wget bzip2 python
# wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
# wget https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda2-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
# bash Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
# bash Anaconda2-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
# exit

$ docker start test 
$ docker exec -i -t test bash
# conda list  # WORKS!
# conda config --add channels r
# conda config --add channels defaults
# conda config --add channels conda-forge
# conda config --add channels bioconda
# conda install bwa  (Segmentation fault. Core dumped)
# which bwa
/root/anaconda2/bin/bwa
# conda install r   (Only get 3.4.2 but the latest is 3.4.3.)
# conda install bowtie
# bowtie --version
# conda install gatk (https://bioconda.github.io/recipes/gatk/README.html)
   (Due to license restrictions, this recipe cannot distribute and install GATK directly)
   (R is downgraded to 3.2.2:( )
   (Segmentation fault. Core dumped)
# exit
# docker stop test
# docker rm test

Get miniconda image instead of using a Ubuntu image 

$ docker pull continuumio/miniconda
$ docker run -i -t continuumio/miniconda /bin/bash
# conda install r   (get 3.4.2)
# conda config --add channels bioconda
# conda install bwa  (OK, no error)
# conda install gatk  (R was downgraded to 3.2.2, install openjdk 8.0.121)
# which gatk
/opt/conda/bin/gatk
# gatk -h
GATK jar file not found. Have you run "gatk-register"?

Issues:

  • R version is not up to date
  • So the problem is installing GATK requires an installation of R and the current R was affected.

CoreOS

Redhat has acquired CoreOS 1/31/2018.

Installation

We first boot a liveCD from any OS (CentOS works but Ubuntu 16.04 gave errors). In Virtualbox, we choose 'Red Hat' if we use CentOS.

Once the VM is created. We go to the settings. Create a bridged network or host-only network first (even we can get files from the host without creating a host-only network). Storage: choose CentOS-7.

  1. Get the install script from Github and create <coreos_install.sh> and chmod +x
  2. create <cloud-config.yaml> file which will include ssh_authorized_keys generated from another machine. It should also contain a new token for the cluster from https://discovery.etcd.io/new.
  3. ls -l /dev/sd*
  4. run sudo ./coreos_install.sh -d /dev/sda -C stable -c cloud-config.yaml. It will download the latest stable CoreOS, install to the HD
  5. Don't leave the VM or it will freeze. Issue sudo shutdown -h now once we see the word 'Success' at the last line of the output.
  6. Remove CentOS from the VM storage. Boot the coreOS VM.

The new screen shows corebm1 login with an IP. Go back to another machine and type ssh -i /tmp/CoreOSBM_rsa [email protected]. Inside CoreOS, we can type docker images.

The 'cloud-config.yaml file has to follow the format in https://coreos.com/os/docs/latest/cloud-config.html. Use the online validator https://coreos.com/validate/ to correct. At first I use the file from the youtube video. There is no error coming out when I ran the installation script. But I cannot connect to coreOS. The cloud-config.yaml file I use is (pay attention to '-', double quotes and indent characters) 

#cloud-config
#
# set hostname
hostname: CoreBM1

# Set ssh key
ssh_authorized_keys:
  - "ssh-rsa AAAAB3 ..... brb@T3600"

coreos:
  etcd:
    discovery: "https://discovery.etcd.io/d3e95 .... "
# sudo ./installos -d /dev/sda -C stable -c cloud-config.yaml
