[Personal memo] About button (GUI) operation of Docker Desktop for Windows

Purpose

This time, it will be a method to connect and operate the shell of the container made with Docker Desktop for Windows with a button operation. The aim is to get used to the operation feeling of Docker Desktop for Windows before writing it in the docker file.

The version of Docker is as follows.

Let's take a look at the screen of Docker Desktop for Windows.

The getting-started command is just displayed in the black band. Since Change Hyper-V settings is set on the D drive, the behavior may be slightly different. Also, in the C drive, the powershell screen should appear on the right side, but since the getting-started operation has already been performed, it may not have appeared.

Difference between "Containers / Apps" screen and "Images" screen

Looking at the left end, there is an item called "Container / Apps" and an item called "Images". Since "Container / Apps" is selected, try selecting "Images".

Right now there are no containers locally.

At the top there is an item called LOCAL and an item called "REMOTE REPOSITORIES".

The REMOTE REPOSITORIES side is pushed to Docker Hub, but since nothing is pushed, nothing is displayed here either.

Now, I would like to select "Container / Apps" on the far left and type the getting-started command in the black band at the command prompt.

cmd.exe

> docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started

At first, the following screen may appear. Press "Allow access".

You've done docker pull and docker run on port 80.

Let's take a look at the Docker Desktop screen. The container added to "Containers / Apps" is displayed.

Button operation on the right side of the container displayed in Constainers / Apps

If you move the cursor to the right side, the icons are lined up. I would like to move the cursor to each icon. Pressing "OPEN IN BROWSER" will take you to the web page for this container that is currently docker running.

If you press "CLI", you can connect to the shell of this container that is currently docker running. Linux commands are working. You can check what command is used to connect to the container by checking the upper part of the opened screen. You can stop this container by pressing "STOP". Press "RESTART" to restart this container. You can delete this container locally by pressing DELETE. I have checked the "Containers / Apps" side.

Images screen

I would like to check the screen on the "Images" side. The image of the container that was just started is displayed. The display "IN USE" seems to be displayed for containers that have been started even once.

There is an icon called "RUN" on the right side. This will be the button to launch the container from the image you are currently viewing.

(There is another button next to "RUN", but I'd like to write an article if I have another chance.)

When you press the button, another getting-started container will be created and started. When you press the "RUN" button, the screen "New Container" is displayed. It seems that you can also click "Opthonal Settings" to set each. docker pull Now I want to docker pull the CentOS container.

cmd.exe

> docker pull centos:latest
latest: Pulling from library/centos

Status: Downloaded newer image for centos:latest
docker.io/library/centos:latest

It doesn't seem to appear in "Containers / Apps" because just docker pull brought the image locally. Check the "Images" screen. The image of the docker container of CentOS that has been docker pulled is displayed. Move the cursor to the right and press the "RUN" button. Since "New Container" is displayed, you can start the container by pressing the "RUN" button.
