Learning Objectives

Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

Locate an Image and Run a Container
  • Log in to server-1 with the cloud_user account.
  • Find the nginx image and tag hosted on the private registry server-1:5000. Search is disabled, and the registry requires authentication.
  • Pull the nginx image from registry server-1:5000.
  • Start a container using the nginx image. Name the container web-dev, and map host port 8081 to container port 80.
Modify a Container and Push a New Image
  • Copy the contents of the tar archive /home/cloud_user/llama_cart.tar to web-dev:/usr/share/nginx/html/.
  • Commit the container web-dev to a new image named web-dev with a tag of v1.
  • Tag web-dev:v1 as server-1:5000/llama-racing:v1.
  • Push the new image to the registry on server-1:5000.
Start a Container and Verify Changes
  • Start a new container using the server-1:5000/llama-racing:v1 image. Name the new container llama-racing-web, and map host port 8080 to host port 8081.
  • Verify the containers and images by starting the container named checker. Use the -i option when starting the container.
  • Use a web browser to check the web page using the public IP address for server-1 and port 8080.

Additional Resources

In this scenario, you have been asked by a team lead to help customize a container image that they will be using to train some new employees. They would like you to do the work on a system they have provided you access to. You will need to log in to the test system named server-1. Once you have logged on, locate the special nginx image hosted on the private registry server-1 running on port 5000. Run and modify a container using the nginx image. After making your modifications, save those changes to a new image named web-dev with a tag of v1. You will then need to push this image as server-1:5000/llama-racing:v1 into the same private registry.

After pushing your image, start a container named llama-racing-web, and run the special container checker to verify your work. Good luck, Gurus, and have fun!
