Docker & Docker-Compose Commands to Remember

🔗Docker & Docker-Compose

1. Basic Docker Commands

   # basic operations
   docker start container...
   docker stop container...
   docker kill container...
   docker restart container...
   
   # to delete unused resources from docker
   docker system prune
   
   # To delete all the unused images from server without a single conatiner
   docker image prune -a
   
   # To delete all the unused objects from server without a single conatiner
   docker system prune --volume
   
   # docker-comose commands:
   docker-compose --env-file ./envs/dev.env up -d --build
   docker-compose --env-file ./envs/dev.env down
   

2. To restart docker daemon, run the below command

   sudo service docker restart
   

3. Installing docker compose cli v2 plugin

   # link: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/#install-the-plugin-manually
   
   # Commands:
   
   # 1.a To download and install the Compose CLI plugin, for just the current user on your system, run:
   DOCKER_CONFIG=${DOCKER_CONFIG:-$HOME/.docker}
   mkdir -p $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins
   curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.24.7/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
   
   # 1.b Install for All Users:
   # To make Docker Compose available for all users on your system, replace the directory ~/.docker/cli-plugins with /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins.
   # You can do this by moving the downloaded docker-compose binary to the appropriate location:
   sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/
   sudo mv $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/
   
   # 2. Apply executable permissions to the binary:
   chmod +x $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
   
   # or, if you chose to install Compose for all users:
   sudo chmod +x /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
   

4. Installing Docker on AMZN linux 2 machine

   # Remove previous binaries
   sudo yum remove docker \
      docker-client \
      docker-client-latest \
      docker-common \
      docker-latest \
      docker-latest-logrotate \
      docker-logrotate \
      docker-engine
   
   # Update the packages on your instance
   sudo yum update -y
   
   # Install Docker
   sudo yum install docker -y
   
   # Print the version of docker daemon
   sudo docker --version
   
   # Start the Docker Service
   sudo service docker start
   
   # Create the Docker group
   sudo groupadd docker
   
   # Add your user to the Docker group
   sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
   
   # Note: after this logout and log back in
   
   #bash-4.2$ docker-compose --version
   #Docker Compose version v2.6.1
   #bash-4.2$ docker --version
   #Docker version 20.10.13, build a224086
   

5. Installing Docker on Ubuntu machine

   # To install docker on ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
   
   # Update the packages on your instance
   sudo apt update -y
   
   # Install awscli
   sudo apt install awscli -y
   
   # Install Docker
   sudo apt install docker.io -y
   
   # Print the version of docker daemon
   sudo docker --version
   
   # Install docker-compose
   sudo apt install docker-compose -y
   
   # Print the version of docker-compose
   sudo docker-compose --version
   
   # Start the Docker Service
   sudo service docker start
   
   # Add the curren user to the docker group so you can execute Docker commands without using sudo
   sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
   
   # check your groups by using the cmd
   id -nG
   
   # if docker doesn't show up then log back in for changes to take effect and then re-check
   id -nG
   
   #ubuntu@ip-10-0-0-218:/mnt/revanth/ds-underwriting-model-api$ docker-compose --version
   #docker-compose version 1.25.0, build unknown
   #ubuntu@ip-10-0-0-218:/mnt/revanth/ds-underwriting-model-api$ docker --version
   #Docker version 20.10.12, build 20.10.12-0ubuntu2~20.04.1
   

6. Installing Docker-Compose on AMZN linux 2 machine

   # download docker-compose
   sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
   
   # give permissions to docker-compose
   sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
   
   # create sym-link
   sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
   
   # check version
   docker-compose version
   

7. Un-Installing and Re-Installing docker-compose

   # At the moment the safest way to upgrade docker-compose is by deleting it and reinstalling it.
   sudo rm /usr/bin/docker-compose
   
   # Reinstall:
   sudo su
   sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.24.6/docker-compose-`uname -s | awk '{print tolower($0)}'`-`uname -m | awk '{print tolower($0)}'` > /usr/bin/docker-compose
   sudo su -l
   sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose
   sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}                 # to add myself to docker group
   docker-compose --version
   
   # Output: Docker Compose version v2.6.1
   

8. Remove unused containers, images and volumes

   docker rm -vf $(docker ps -aq)
   docker rmi -f $(docker images -aq)
   docker volume prune -f
   docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)
   docker builder prune
