Till now you have created a Docker file and pushed it to the Repository. Let's move forward and dig more into other Docker concepts. Aj thodi padhai krte hai on Docker Compose 😃
Docker Compose
Docker Compose is a tool that was developed to help define and share multi-container applications.
With Compose, we can create a YAML file to define the services and with a single command, can spin everything up or tear it all down.

What is YAML?
YAML is a data serialization language that is often used for writing configuration files. Depending on whom you ask, YAML stands for yet another markup language or YAML ain’t markup language (a recursive acronym), which emphasizes that YAML is for data, not documents.
YAML is a popular programming language because it is human-readable and easy to understand.
YAML files use a .yml or .yaml extension.

Task-1
Learn how to use the docker-compose.yml file, to set up the environment, configure the services and links between different containers, and also to use environment variables in the docker-compose.yml file.
Sample docker-compose.yaml file - In the below example, we are building images nginx and mysql with there requirements. To build the image, we need to run the command - docker-compose up
Task-2
Pull a pre-existing Docker image from a public repository (e.g. Docker Hub) and run it on your local machine. Run the container as a non-root user (Hint- Use
usermodcommand to give user permission to docker). Make sure you reboot the instance after giving permission to the user.
Inspect the container's running processes and exposed ports using the docker inspect command
Use the docker logs command to view the container's log output
Use the docker stop and docker start commands to stop and start the container
Use the docker rm command to remove the container when you're done. - First we need to stop the container then we need to remove the container using
docker rm containercommand
How to run Docker commands without sudo?
Make sure docker is installed and the system is updated (This is already been completed as a part of previous tasks):
sudo usermod -a -G docker $USERReboot the machine.
