Introduction

We saw how an application could be packaged into a Dockerfile, and you should be good to go. However, when creating your first images, you may hesitate over some common patterns. I’d rather you didn’t lose time with that, so I listed in this chapter some basic application images for common development technologies. Just pick your own.

Each lesson is divided into two parts:

• Result points you to the resulting image. I published them on the Docker Hub so you can run them right away.

• Files provides the details of the files, especially the Dockerfile file, that I used to create the image.
