# Docker 101
|

|
|
||
|
## Description
|
||
|
|
||
|
This repository documents my understanding of Docker and my attempt to build a Docker image for DGTD (Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain) code. Docker allows us to package applications and their dependencies into isolated containers, ensuring consistency across different environments.

## Building the Docker Image
|
||
|
|
||
|
To build the Docker image for DGTD code, follow these steps:
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Command Line Interface (CLI)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use the following CLI commands to build the Docker image:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
docker build -t sample-image .
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Replace `sample-image` with your preferred image name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Platform Compatibility
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Docker image can be built on both UNIX and Windows platforms. Here’s how I set it up:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **UNIX:** Use Docker Engine.
|
||
|
- **Windows:** Install Docker Desktop.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Testing the Docker Image
|
||
|
|
||
|
After building the Docker image, test its functionality on both UNIX and Windows environments:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **UNIX:** Run tests using Docker Engine.
|
||
|
- **Windows:** Run tests using Docker Desktop.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The image should maintain consistency and reproducibility across platforms, demonstrating Docker's versatility in managing application dependencies.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
This repository serves as a guide for packaging DGTD code and other applications in Docker containers in the future. Adjust Dockerfile configurations and testing procedures as necessary for specific application requirements.
