I realize this is hard to ask for at this stage because Docker is still rapidly evolving, but all I want is a thorough book/tutorial/guide/screencast that walks me through the process of barely understanding Docker to using it for my web apps.<p>I know that I will want to use this in the future, I just can't be bothered to learn yet-another-thing given how fast everything changes nowadays.<p>Is anyone writing a book on Docker? Tutsplus.com screencast series? Udemy course?
That video of the project's activity over time is pretty awesome and almost brought a tear to my eye :) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCiS812oRU8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCiS812oRU8</a> (link didn't work for me on iOS)
I work for a large financial company. At our shop, we are currently building out an internal cloud infrastructure where we build on too of the OpenStack API to provide users with self service deployment much like AWS.<p>In order to deploy to production, we mandate a process requiring users to have an existing chef recipe before any production guest can be deployed. We also restrict logins to existing production nodes unless there is an emergency. (This attempts to keep configuration management entropy to a minimum.) all of this works ok, but I think it could be better with Docker.<p>In a few weeks, I have a chance to present a new idea to senior executives. I'd like to pitch Docker, at least as something to keep an eye on. Any thoughts on what points I should drive home?
It's worth noting that as of yesterday the Docker index (<a href="https://index.docker.io" rel="nofollow">https://index.docker.io</a>) now offers github-style paid features. You can host private docker images, tie them to your source repo so that they are automatically rebuilt from source, trigger web hooks on new versions, etc.<p><a href="http://blog.docker.io/2014/03/introducing-private-repos-webhooks-and-more/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.docker.io/2014/03/introducing-private-repos-webh...</a>
Having been @ Docker for about 9 months, all I can say is I am blown away by the incredible involvement from the community and the vibrant ecosystem that has been created as a result.<p>While it has been an amazing year, I am even more excited every day about future prospects and momentum we're collectively building in the industry. This is only the beginning.
Memories !<p>I thought I have started to look into Docker in April last year. To make sure I didn't make up things, I looked into my git logs. The first reference to Docker in the commit message is:<p><pre><code> Author: Vo Minh Thu <noteed@gmail.com>

Run ssp-build inside docker
</code></pre>
ssp is the name I used for Assertive, which was supposed to be a hosted Continuous Integration service for the OpenERP community. ssp-build is spawned inside Docker by a worker process. I put it on hold since around May although I put it online a few days ago (Here is an example of what it does: <a href="http://assertive.io/build/1" rel="nofollow">http://assertive.io/build/1</a>).<p>Actually I have a first mention of Docker in my TODO.md file dating back to March 29 !<p>Assertive will be generalized and will be coupled to <a href="https://reesd.com" rel="nofollow">https://reesd.com</a> (that's the reason I went to put it online a few days ago).<p>Docker was my first practical exposure to Linux containers. Thanks a lot for making it a great open source project !
I've been reading about Docker for a while. But am unable to wrap my head around it. I've gone through the samples and I only see it good for creating SaaS apps. Can someone please correct? What am I missing? What is the brouhaha all about?
I have been using Docker to grade HW submission since October, in a more disposable and safer way, and I am building an automated system around it, kudos to Docker and the team
