Just because of your videos, I have my own lab setup now. I have some confidence in networking and containers. You also asked me to follow your labs videos, and I'm doing it as a hobby. I follow some youtubers, and they suggest to watch your videos. It is so good to see you back. May God bless you.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm a 13-year-old boy, that didn't really have much interest in computers and coding and programming but after this video, it got so much into it, seeing you type commands and docker would do the rest, got me so interested and excited to try it out. I have made my parents proud after showing them some skills from the tutorial, and I want to say thank you so much!
I appreciate your organized (very easy to follow), step-by-step explanation of Docker and personally like your conversational presentation style as an English-only speaker. I know it takes a lot of time, effort and skill to put together an effective video tutorial like you do...and we appreciate it.
Oh my word, I am so happy to have found this video and series! I have tried many times to watch other docker tutorials in the past, but so far everything I have come across seems to assume you are a developer, which I am not. Foundational topics are often quickly glossed over or not explained at all and/or there is so much fluff in the video that it's hard to focus on the concepts being shown. This video was so well organized, topics/steps are explained really well and in a way that is easy to comprehend. I spun up a test Ubuntu server machine and was able to follow along with everything in the video. Super well done, thank you very much Christian! Subscribed and supported on Patreon, and I'm looking forward to watching more episodes in this series!!!
I have never used Docker, so I hadn't even heard about containers. But your introductory explanation of what containers are is clear and concise. Good work!
I think it's important to also note that docker desktop is only free for home use. In a Corporate environment (with 250 employees or more) you would need to pay a license for it.
great initial start! it would be nice in your future episodes, you can elaborate on best practices for 1. data persistence - database and app files on different volumes 2. Backup and restore - mainly scheduled back up of databases and restoring it - it is trivial with the database installed on a full o/s, but not so much on a container.
There is a German guy that made me ditch VMware ESXi and vCenter in favour of Proxmox (no regrets!) and also inspired me to use containers rather than dedicated VMs. Sounds familiar? Believe his name is Christian... Great and incredibliy inspiring videos you make, so thanks a lot for the content! Just waiting for a Docker Swarm setup using shared NFS storage and how to proceed from the docker-compose files on single Docker servers to deploying a whole stack in a swarm cluster :-) I know, should go Kubernetes, but too much for my homelab....
Great Video, good to see you back. If you want to start, delete a container then you only need to type a few (unique) digits of the ID, so you don't need the full ID.
Only 9mins in but heck, glad you didn’t turned away from “the community” 😊 and since I’m waiting on my first raspberry pi to be delivered, is this an excellent refreshing on “my docker knowledge” 😊 Keep it up, you are inspiring more techy’s than you think you are ;)
I only got into Docker at the start of this year but absolutely love it! Esp love Portainer and Nginx Proxy Manager. Great into video and the rest of the series sound great - subscription added 😉👍😎
Great introduction, I have been homelabbing with VMs exclusively for a while now, but seems like Docker is the industry standard so it's time to learn it.
I am trying to learn about Docker and your video gave my a good introduction. I am really looking forward to the next parts of the series. A video about security and risks / running Docker in security environments without internet access would be really great. After all, you download and run "blackboxes" on your system, needing to trust the images not to contain anything malicious.
Hi Christian, I really like you to make this docker series. You presented the beginner stuff very comprehensible I am really looking forward to the more advanced topics.
I never used pure docker and used compose from the start. i hope you cover docker compose as it seems like doing the same thing but using a config file. It also makes using multiple containers together much easier
I definitely want more of these. I've got a home server that's really just an old desktop running Manjaro and a Plex snap, with the media files on an external hard drive. I want to learn how to take things tot the next level. I don't know if I should use Proxmox, TrueNAS, or something like CentOS, but I wanna learn what's best for the job. I also want to learn about RAID. And I want to learn about Containers. This video is so timely, it's ridiculous. Thank you.
Proxmox will allow you to build any OS/VM/LXC and throw away when done which is really nice when starting out. I used to run truenas on proxmox and it worked well; I now just have truenas scale as the base OS and I run all of my containers here.
@@Stuffynes, Proxmox does sound pretty convenient in that regard. What are your use cases for the device(s) running TrueNAS Scale, and why'd you switch from PM+TN to just TN?
@@ChrisDecrease , main use case for TN is running containers with persistent storage - this can be achieved with just docker but TN makes the storage side pretty easy especially when accessing over the network e.g. smb. Switching away from PN+TN to just TN was mostly for reducing complexity but I do miss having the ability to easily build vms/lxcs.
@@Stuffynes, ah! Thank you! I'm still looking around, and reading before deciding which route to take. I may just just bare Linux and build on top of that. NixOS, perhaps.
Great video Christian! An idea for a video in this series, "What is the difference between a secure base container, and one you would get from dockerhub or red hat/ubuntu themselves". Honestly I work in a secure environment and I have NO idea how to make sure the BASE container is secure and how to even check that sort of thing. Love your work, looking forward to this evolving into a full blown course :)
Never watched such a fantastic tutorial. I like it so much because it's hands-on to what you need to get started. I'm really looking forward to this series! Sadly, our school IT company does not provide any Docker images for my computer science courses. There would be so much I could teach my students, and they would give me some more freedom in this totally Windows centered environment that is also very poorly configured.
Could you make a video showing how to patch a docker image security vanurablity? as for now you can scan the image with docker Scout and find the issues, but how can you deal with it without third party tools would be amazing! thankyou!
Thanks for the explanation. Been using docker for a bit but don't really know where is the best location to store all the different docker config/docker-compose. yml files in Linux debian mint? So I can easily backup that folder for all the docker containers.
I can say that I almost never comment but your video seems very beginner friendly I really got very interested I will be following upcoming series of this tutorial and check out other resources to learn docker THANKS A LOT. Maybe we can expect a Kubernetes series following this tutorials ????
Thanks. Not having persistent volumes for data as the default is strange to me. Would be like if you don't flip a switch when you lock the door at your home and you come back and the contents of your home have vanished.
I'll be watching this series close. I'm trying to setup LAMP + NodeJS in a home lab and on Linode or Digital Ocean for a series of small app and I'm interested in how docker can help me.
Thank you for precisely setting and running? Is it possible to run (share one ) apache php and mysql, and running 2-3 projects in mydomain1 mydomain3 in same time? (update in local .host file to match a name1, name2 required )
What terminal emulator are your using. I don't have a Mac yet but I will be getting one the next time I need a new computer and I like the way your terminal emulatoor is layed out.
Would love to know if there is a way to set static IPs on various docker containers. Would like to have a network agnostic setup to be able to give out to members of my family pre-setup servers with dockers that link to each other without the need to be on site and know their network setup and configure dockers with their assigned IPs.
Yes you can set static on docker containers. I would probably go the route of docker compose, however, if you set a static and the family member doesn't have that network configured, they wouldn't be able to access the containers without first adding that to their network config.
@@DimitrisChr actually, if you set them up with "host" networking it would pull whatever the IP of the computer they're running it on so could be a way to do what you are thinking and allowing for the variability in network configurations. Only thing then is I would go the route of having a dashboard solution included in the stack as remembering port numbers can be a bit overwhelming.
Awesome! please help us to deploy a docker container running windows or ubuntu in True NAS, not in virtual machine due to no to many CPUs can run KVMs thanks
Great video! But please, for future videos make the font bigger and brighter!!! It’s hard to see console text/commands especially if I watch it on my phone :-(
I don't understand where the Command Line you keep showing at the bottom of the screen,.. what or where is that ?.. on my Mac (Apple Silicon) installation of Docker,. I don't have that ?

Looking forward to this series. Hope more series such as these are done!!
That's the plan! :D
Really enjoyed watching this Docker video! Keep up the good work Christian :)
Very good idea, I am going to look forward to watching this entire series of videos about Docker - Thank you very much
Danke!
Vielen Dank für deinen Support 🙏

Great video love the visuals, makes this fun and easy to learn
Thanks! Great feedback :)
Really appreciated this introduction, especially mentioning how to map the ports and volumes, which has always confused me.
Thank you! Looking forward to the next videos in the series.
Thanks :) stay tuned
I never used pure docker and used compose from the start. i hope you cover docker compose as it seems like doing the same thing but using a config file. It also makes using multiple containers together much easier
It will be part of the series, but it's important to know the basics first
Wéééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééééé, Christian!
I am gonna share the series like crazy on /selfhosted ! Thanks a lot!

Good job! Please keep going!
Good job. I learn new thing from your video.
Great explanation, thanks!
exelente contenido muchas gracias por los videos de este tema saludos desde colombia
best docker intro I've seen
Thanks :)
Always great as usual. Another video about docker compose would be interesting. Anyway, Thanks for the hard work done 👍
Thank you, comprehensive tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
oh man I realy want to start a home lab now :) thanks for this video!
Haha job done 🤭
Fantastic tutorial!! thanks a lot for this.
You're very welcome!
Thank you for this video!
Thanks for watching!
I will be intrested in a full video for Kestra with maybe real case example, thx for you time Christian
Good idea, maybe we'll do that in Dec, or at least at the beginning of next year.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!!

Keep in mind, one main concept of containers is they are ephemeral, which means they should not store data for the most parts.
Great video.
That sounds like an awesome series! Will you add a "How to protect Docker from Hackers" chapter? :)
Thanks for your great videos, Christian!
Security will be part of it :)
Oye Christian Lempa, nice one.
I like the T-Shirt Design ("Vibes") from the Video Thumbnail. Where can I buy that?
"AI command suggestion" 😮 what terminal program are you using?
I'll be watching this series close. I'm trying to setup LAMP + NodeJS in a home lab and on Linode or Digital Ocean for a series of small app and I'm interested in how docker can help me.
Can you make a video on how you've customized your terminal, it looks neat.
You can already find some videos about Warp on my channel :) Hope that helps
Sorry for the stupid question (?) but is there a way of hosting your own deployments and pull from a local server instead?
Thank you for precisely setting and running?
Is it possible to run (share one ) apache php and mysql, and running 2-3 projects in mydomain1 mydomain3 in same time? (update in local .host file to match a name1, name2 required )
7:55 what terminal is that 🤔
Warp
Hi Christian,
Thank you for the great video. I have a question regarding the CLI: how do you set up the CLI autocompletion for docker commands?
It's a feature in Warp Terminal
@@christianlempa
Warp is available for Mac only at present 😞. I'm waiting for the Windows version.
28:24 - 30:03 So I still need a reverse-proxy running natively on the server, right?
I don't believe I said that :D
@@christianlempa Well, that's why I was asking. The HTTP requests coming from port 80 have to reach the containers somehow...
What terminal emulator are your using. I don't have a Mac yet but I will be getting one the next time I need a new computer and I like the way your terminal emulatoor is layed out.

Consider for distroless containers instead of alpine
It is suggestion for you, not for cource

BTW amazing video very helpful to understand containers and doscker. Maybe can you make a video like this for terraform and kubernetes😄
Podman FTW ✊
cool many thanks!

Great video! But please, for future videos make the font bigger and brighter!!! It’s hard to see console text/commands especially if I watch it on my phone :-(
How do you manage to do all of that without using sudo?
Your user just needs to be added to the docker group.
thanks@@Stuffynes
