Commands used in Dockefile - Part4

  Docker is an opensource tool used for virtualization and deliver software in the form of packages called Containers. It is one of the most important tools used in networking domain.  Dockerfile  is a template for building the image which contains commands needed to package the software. In this post, I am going to explain the commands ADD & COPY used in  Dockerfile .   ADD Command:   ADD command is used to copy files, directories or files from remote URLS to destination path in the image. The source paths can contain wildcards.   If the destination has relative path, it is relative to the Working directory of the image. Note that source path is always relative to the Docker build context.   ADD command will not support authentication. So, if there are any protected files to be added in  Dockerfile  building, use other tools like curl or  wget   Dockerfile  copying Single & Multiple files, directory using ADD inst...

Definition of some network terms and devices

In this article, the definitions of some basic networking terms are explained: 

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): 
DHCP assigns IP addresses to devices like computers, mobiles, and laptops when they are connected to wireless networks or ethernet 

Ethernet: 
Ethernet is a protocol that defines the type of cables and connections used to wire switches, routers, and computers. 

Hub: 
Hub is a network device that transmits the information received to all the devices which are in connection with Hub 

Switch: 
A switch is a network device that transmits the information received to a specific computer or laptop which is connected with it. 

Router: 
A router is a network device that can bridge different networks, determine what traffic can flow between them, and performs functions like assigning IP addresses to computers, laptops etc. 

Firewall: 
Firewall is one of the functions performed by the router and it typically filters the network traffic and protects the network from attacks or interference

Commands used in Dockerfile - Part3

  Docker is an opensource tool used for virtualization and deliver software in the form of packages called Containers. It is one of the most important tools used in networking domain.  Dockerfile  is a template for building the image which contains commands needed to package the software. In this post, I am going to explain the commands WORKDIR & HEALTHCHECK used in  Dockerfile .   WORKDIR Command:   WORKDIR command is used to set the directory of the image on which the commands like RUN, COPY, ADD, ENTRYPOINT, CMD operates.   The command usage is WORKDIR < Path_To_Dir >. If the directory not exists, it will be created. If the relative path is given to WORKDIR, that path will be relative to the previous WORKDIR command’s path.    In Ubuntu, by default the WORKDIR will be  / . Please find the below sample  Dockerfile  to get clear picture of WORKDIR command:   FROM  ubuntu: 16.04   WORKDIR  /root ...
