Let’s now check out how Docker Toolbox can be employed to work with Docker containers on Windows. The primary step is to launch the Docker Toolbox application for which the shortcut is created on the desktop when the installation of Docker toolbox is carried out.

Next, you’ll see the configuration being carried out when Docker toolbox is launched.

Once done, you’ll see Docker configured and launched. You’ll get an interactive shell for Docker.

To test that Docker runs properly, we can use the Docker run command to download and run a easy HelloWorld Docker container.

The working of the Docker run command is given below −

docker run

This command is employed to run a command in a Docker container.

Syntax

docker run image

Options

Image − This is the name of the image which is employed to run the container.

Return Value

The output will run the command in the desired container.

Example

sudo docker run hello-world

This command will download the hello-world image, if it is not already present, and run the hello-world as a container.

Output

When we run the above command, we will get the following result −

If you want to run the Ubuntu OS on Windows, you can download the Ubuntu Image using the following command −

Docker run –it Ubuntu bash

Here you are telling Docker to run the command in the interactive mode via the –it option.

In the output you can see that the Ubuntu image is downloaded and run and then you’ll be logged in as a root user in the Ubuntu container.

Docker – Hub

Docker Hub is a registry service on the cloud that allows you to download Docker images that are built by other communities. You can also upload your own Docker built images to Docker hub. In this blog, we will see how to download and the use the Jenkins Docker image from Docker hub.

The official site for Docker hub is − https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/add_ons

Step 1 − Primary you need to do a easy sign-up on Docker hub.

Step 2 − Once you have signed up, you’ll be logged into Docker Hub.

Step 3 − Next, let’s browse and find the Jenkins image.

Step 4 − If you scroll down on the same page, you can see the Docker pull command. This will be employed to download the Jenkins image onto the local Ubuntu server.

Step 5 − Now, go to the Ubuntu server and run the following command −

sudo docker pull jenkins

To run Jenkins, you need to run the following command −

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 jenkins

Note the following points about the above sudo command −

We are using the sudo command to ensure it runs with root access.
Here, jenkins is the name of the image we want to download from Docker hub and install on our Ubuntu machine.
-p is employed to map the port number of the internal Docker image to our main Ubuntu server so that we can access the container accordingly.

You’ll then have Jenkins successfully running as a container on the Ubuntu machine.
