How to use dockerfile to build nginx image

Introduction to dockerfile

Docker can automatically build the image by reading the contents of the dockerfile. The dockerfile is a text file that contains all the commands that need to be executed during the build process. It can also be understood that dockfile is a script interpreted by the docker program. It consists of instructions one by one. Each instruction corresponds to a command under the Linux system. The docker program translates these dockerfile instructions into real Linux commands. Dockerfile has its own writing format and supported commands. The docker program resolves the dependencies between these commands, similar to makefile.

The docker program will read the dockerfile and generate a customized image according to the instructions. Compared with a black box like image, an obvious script like dockerfile is easier for users to accept. It clearly shows how the image is generated. With dockerfile, when we need to customize our own additional requirements, we only need to add or modify instructions on the dockerfile and regenerate the image, eliminating the trouble of typing commands.

Docker method of building an image: commit, dockerfile

1. Use commit to build an image:

Commit is built based on the original image The purpose of using this method to build an image is to save some configuration information and modified information in the image. Equivalent to a snapshot of an image.

2. Use dockerfile to build the image:

Dockerfile is the (custom) image required to quickly build.

Dockerfile instructions:

From: Specify the base image (from is a required instruction and must be the first instruction).

run: used to execute command line commands. Its basic format:

Shell format: run Just enter the command in the bash environment. A dockerfile is allowed to use run for no more than 127 layers. Therefore, to use run once, use ' \' Break a new line and use '&&' to execute the next command. This format is generally used;

exec format: run , this method is like the format in function calls;

　copy: Copy the file. Its basic format:

Format 1: copy ...

Format 2: copy ["",. ....""]

　add: ​​A more advanced copy file, adding some functions on the basis of copy. If the compressed package is copied, it will be decompressed directly, and No need to use run to decompress;

cmd: container startup command. Its basic format:

Shell format: cmd

Exec format: cmd ["executable file", "Parameter 1", "Parameter 2"...]

Parameter list format: cmd ["Parameter 1", "Parameter 2"...], after specifying the entrypoint command, use cmd to specify the specific parameters

Entrypoint: Entry point. Its basic format is divided into exec and shell.

The purpose of entrypoint is the same as cmd, which is to specify the container startup program and parameters. Entrypoint can be replaced during operation, but it is more cumbersome than cmd and needs to be specified through the parameter --entrypoint of docker run. When entrypoint is specified, the meaning of cmd changes. Instead of running its command directly, the content of cmd is passed to the entrypoint command as a parameter. When executed, it becomes: ""

　env: Set environment variables. (You can use the variables used here) Its basic format:

Format 1: env

Format 2: env = =...

　arg: Build parameters. The effect of build parameters is the same as that of env, which is to set environment variables. The difference is that the environment variables built by arg will not exist when the container is run in the future. Its basic format:

Format 1: arg [=]

Format 2: This default value can be used in the build command docker build - -build-arg = to override

　volume: Define an anonymous volume. Its basic format:

Format 1: volume ["", ""...]

Format 2: volume

Expose: Expose port. The expose directive declares the port provided by the runtime container. When starting the container, the port will not be opened because of this declaration. Its basic format:

Format 1: expose [...]

Workdir: Specify the working directory. Its basic format:

Format 1: workdir

User: Specify the current user. user helps you switch to the specified user. Its basic format:

　Format 1: user

healthcheck: Health check to determine whether the status of the container is normal. Its basic format:

Format 1: healthcheck [option] cmd : Set the command to check the health of the container

Format 2: healthcheck none: If the base image has a health check command , use this format to block its health check instructions

Build nginx image:

Create a directory and write dockerfile in the directory:

[root@docker ~]# mkdir mynginx
[root@docker ~]# cd mynginx/
[root@docker mynginx]# pwd
/root/mynginx
[root@docker mynginx]#

Download the nginx source code package to the created directory (mynginx directory):

[root@docker ~]# wget -p /root/mynginx/ http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.15.2.tar.gz

Write the dockerfile:

[root@docker mynginx]# vi dockerfile

The content is as follows:

from centos
run ping -c 1 www.baidu.com
run yum -y install gcc make pcre-devel zlib-devel tar zlib
add nginx-1.15.2.tar.gz /usr/src/
run cd /usr/src/nginx-1.15.2 \
  && mkdir /usr/local/nginx \
  && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx && make && make install \
  && ln -s /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx /usr/local/sbin/ \
  && nginx
run rm -rf /usr/src/nginx-1.15.2
expose 80

Run the docker command to build the image:

[root@docker mynginx]# docker build -t nginx:v3 .
sending build context to docker daemon 1.029mb
step 1/7 : from centos

step 7/7 : expose 80
 ---> using cache
 ---> 384bed72ea6f
successfully built 384bed72ea6f
successfully tagged nginx:v3

Outputting two successfully means the build is successful!

Start the custom image:

Use docker images to view the built image:

Start the custom image:

[root@docker ~]# docker run -dit -p 80:80 --name nginx nginx:v3
ecaafe1190447878b98dfb0198e92439db60ff7dab57a1674e0e9e7282a9c858
[root@docker ~]# docker ps -a
container id    image        command       created       status       ports        names
ecaafe119044    nginx:v3      "/bin/bash"     3 seconds ago    up 2 seconds    0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp  nginx

Note: At this time, no matter how you start the container, it is still in the exited state.

After various solutions, I finally figured out where the problem was. It turns out that when the container starts, it is started in the background corresponding to a thread. It is already started at startup, but after it executes the command, it exits and is not running in the background, so use the -dit parameter to let it Just run it in the background.

[root@docker ~]# docker run -dit -p 80:80 --name nginx nginx:v3
ecaafe1190447878b98dfb0198e92439db60ff7dab57a1674e0e9e7282a9c858
[root@docker ~]# docker ps -a
container id    image        command       created       status       ports        names
ecaafe119044    nginx:v3      "/bin/bash"     3 seconds ago    up 2 seconds    0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp  nginx

However...

At this time, another problem occurred. Although it was up, the nginx web page interface could not be accessed, and the connection was refused! ! ! !

[root@docker ~]# curl 192.168.100.22
curl: (7) failed connect to 192.168.100.22:80; 拒绝连接
[root@docker ~]# elinks --dump 192.168.100.22
elinks: 拒绝连接

Then, after asking Baidu, fq and Google, I finally found the problem. It turns out that you only need to use exec to enter the container and start nginx.

[root@docker ~]# docker exec -it nginx bash
[root@ecaafe119044 /]# nginx
[root@ecaafe119044 /]# exit
exit
