About this Hands-on Lab

### SpaceBones – The Quest for More Yummies

Now that you have mastered the skill of installing & configuring Docker, as well as launching containers, it is now time to test your skill even further by launching a website for the nation of Spacebones. Use the preconfigured DockerHub `spacebones/doge` image to deploy the website on port 80. Lastly, be sure to name the container `treatseekers`, for organizational purposes. Good luck, brave one!

Learning Objectives

Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

Pull Spacebones Image

Student should pull the docker image located here. This can be done via the command:

docker pull spacebones/doge

Since it is stored at Docker Hub, this will find the image required.

Start the Website Container and Redirect HTTP Port 80 to the Host

The student will be starting a container from the spacebones/doge image installed locally in the previous step, named ‘treatseekers’, in disconnected mode, redirecting container port 80 to host port 80. The command to accomplish this is:

docker run -d --name treatseekers -p 80:80 spacebones/doge

You can verify it is running after with

docker ps

Which will tell you the container, name and port that is currently running

Container Called ‘Treatseekers’ is Running

As part of your launch, you were asked to name your container ‘treatseekers’. You can verify that by reviewing the content of the following command:

docker ps

Which will show you all running containers, ‘treatseekers’ should now appear with the port information running on.

Additional Resources

Now that you have mastered the skill of installing & configuring Docker as well as launching containers, it is now time to test your skill even further by launching a website for the nation of SpaceBones.

Use the preconfigured DockerHub spacebones/doge image to deploy the website in detached mode, redirecting the container HTTP service on port 80 to the underlying host port 80 (so we can test the website). Lastly, be sure to name the container treatseekers, for identification purposes. Good luck, brave one!
