Installing docker and launching container in Linux terminal (AWS)
To install Docker on an AWS Linux instance and launch a container, you can follow these steps:
Connect to Your AWS Linux Instance: Use SSH to connect to your AWS Linux instance.
Update Packages: Before installing Docker, it's good practice to update your package lists:
sudo su - root
Install Docker: Install Docker CE (Community Edition) using the following commands:
yum install docker
Start Docker Service: After the installation is complete, start the Docker service:
systemctl start docker
Pull Docker Image: Now you can pull a Docker image from Docker Hub or any other registry. For example, let's pull the official centos:7 or ubuntu:14.04 image:
docker pull centos:7
or
docker pull ubuntu:14.04
Run Docker Container: Once the image is pulled, you can run a container based on that image. For example, to run a basic centos:7 server:docker run -it centos:7
or
docker run -it ubuntu:14.04
That's it! You've now installed Docker on your AWS Linux instance and launched a container. You can explore further by running different containers and managing them using Docker commands.
