The Docker engine leverages specific Linux capabilities.
On Windows and Mac OS X the engine runs in Linux VMs.<br/>
Docker's `host` network mode will use the VM's network, and **not** the host's one. Using that mode on those OSes will
result in the containers being **silently unable** to receive traffic from outside the host.<br/>
To solve this, use a different network mode and **explicitly publish** the ports used.
## Gotchas
- Containers created with no specified name will be assigned one automatically:
```sh
$ docker create 'hello-world'
8eaaae8c0c720ac220abac763ad4b477d807be4522d58e334337b1b74a14d0bd
$ docker create --name 'alpine' 'alpine'
63b1a0a3e557094eba7f18424fd50d49b36cacbc21f1df60b918b375b857f809
$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
63b1a0a3e557 alpine "/bin/sh" 24 seconds ago Created alpine
8eaaae8c0c72 hello-world "/hello" 21 seconds ago Created sleepy_brown
```
- When referring to a container or image using their ID, you just need to use as many characters you need to uniquely
specify a single one of them:
```sh
$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
63b1a0a3e557 alpine "/bin/sh" 34 seconds ago Created alpine
8eaaae8c0c72 hello-world "/hello" 31 seconds ago Created sleepy_brown
$ docker start 8
8
$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
63b1a0a3e557 alpine "/bin/sh" 48 seconds ago Created alpine
8eaaae8c0c72 hello-world "/hello" 45 seconds ago Exited (0) 10 seconds ago sleepy_brown
```
- Docker's host networking feature is not supported on Mac, even though the `docker run` command doesn't complain about
it.<br/>
This is due to the fact that the Docker daemon on Mac is running in a virtual machine, and not natively; hence, ports
are exposed on the VM and not of the host running it.<br/>
One way around it is port forwarding to localhost (the `-p` or `-P` options).
## Daemon configuration
The docker daemon is configured using the `/etc/docker/daemon.json` file:
```json
{
"default-runtime": "runc",
"dns": ["8.8.8.8", "1.1.1.1"]
}
```
## Images configuration
One should follow the [OpenContainers Image Spec].
## Containers configuration
Docker mounts specific system files in all containers to forward its settings:
```sh
6a95fabde222$ mount
/dev/disk/by-uuid/1bb…eb5 on /etc/resolv.conf type btrfs (rw,…)
/dev/disk/by-uuid/1bb…eb5 on /etc/hostname type btrfs (rw,…)
/dev/disk/by-uuid/1bb…eb5 on /etc/hosts type btrfs (rw,…)
```
Those files come from the volume the docker container is using for its root, and are modified on the container's startup
with the information from the CLI, the daemon itself and, when missing, the host.
## Health checks
The following have the same effect:
<details><summary>Command line</summary>
```sh
docker run … \
--health-cmd 'curl --fail --insecure --silent --show-error http://localhost/ || exit 1' \
--health-interval '5m' \
--health-timeout '3s' \
--health-retries '4' \
--health-start-period '10s'
```
</details>
<details><summary>Dockerfile</summary>
```Dockerfile
HEALTHCHECK --interval=5m --timeout=3s --start-period=10s --retries=4 \
CMD curl --fail --insecure --silent --show-error http://localhost/ || exit 1
```
</details>
<details><summary>Docker-compose file</summary>
```yaml
version: '3.6'
services:
web-server:
healthcheck:
test: curl --fail --insecure --silent --show-error http://localhost/ || exit 1
interval: 5m
timeout: 3s
retries: 4
start_period: 10s
```
</details><br/>
The command's exit status indicates the health status of the container. The possible values are:
- `0`: success - the container is healthy and ready for use
- `1`: unhealthy - the container isn't working correctly
- `2`: reserved - don't use this exit code
## Advanced build with `buildx`
### Create builders
```sh
$ docker buildx ls
NAME/NODE DRIVER/ENDPOINT STATUS BUILDKIT PLATFORMS
default * docker
default default running v0.11.7+d3e6c1360f6e linux/amd64, linux/amd64/v2, linux/amd64/v3, linux/386
$ docker buildx create --name 'multiarch' --use
multiarch
$ docker buildx ls
NAME/NODE DRIVER/ENDPOINT STATUS BUILDKIT PLATFORMS
multiarch * docker-container
multiarch0 unix:///var/run/docker.sock inactive
default docker
default default running v0.11.7+d3e6c1360f6e linux/amd64, linux/amd64/v2, linux/amd64/v3, linux/386
```
### Build for specific platforms
> The `--load` option currently only works for builds for a single platform.<br/>
> See <https://github.com/docker/buildx/issues/59>.
```sh
docker buildx build --platform 'linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7' -t 'image:tag' '.'
docker load …
```
