Basic docker commands page has been introduced to help docker newcomers to start working with docker with few basic commands.

Requirements

• You know the Artifactory docker repository URL where your desired image currently is or will be located
• Valid credentials with access to desired repository

• Docker client installed on your testbed/workstation

  Info
  There is many ways how to install docker client. We recommend this on CentOS/Fedora: Code Block sudo yum install docker -y Or Ubuntu: Code Block sudo apt install docker -y

  
  

• Proper connectivity from your testbed/workstation to repository URL
• Testbed access
  • User has sudo/administrator access on testbed

  • For using docker without "sudo" user must be member of "docker" group on testbed to be able to utilize docker properly without need to type sudo all the time:

    Code Block
    sudo groupadd docker sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER # in edge case this can help: #setfacl -m user:$USER:rw /var/run/docker.sock

    This is because docker daemon unix socket is owned by root user. However, docker daemon can be controlled members of docker group, so we are utilising this feature.

Login

docker login <REPOSITORY_URL>

# Or with providing username to avoid asking username repeatedly
docker login -u <USER_NAME> <REPOSITORY_URL>

# Or with providing username and password to avoid asking credentials - do not use in shared environments as other users could be able to find your password in plaintext in command history
docker login -u <USER_NAME> -p <USER_PASSWORD> <REPOSITORY_URL>

...

docker container ls --all

Running container

docker run <REPOSITORY_KEY>.artifactory.shared.tds.CUSTOMERX.com/<IMAGE>:<TAG>
