Say Hello to Docker

This lab will help you know that you have your development environment ready for building Docker containers. In it you’ll start a public container that exposes a network port and connect to it from your browser.

DokuWiki in a Container

Dokuwiki is a PHP based wiki site. You can find a Docker container for it on DockerHub that’s packaged by Bitnami. Bitnami makes a lot of conveniently packaged Docker containers. Start your

$ docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 bitnami/dokuwiki:latest

What does it do?

The command starts a bitnami/dokuwki container with the build tag latest. The host’s port 8080 is connected to the container port 8080.

Cloud Shell Editor

Click the “Web Preview” button in Cloud Shell editor in the top right. Select port 8080 and Dokuwiki loads in a new tab.

VM Environments

In vscode select the Ports Tab beside the Terminal tab. Add a new forward from the VM’s port 8080 to localhost:8080. Now visit Dokuwiki on your local browser on the URL http://localhost:8080.

Native Environments

Dokuwiki should be viewable on http://localhost:8080.

Clean Up

Typing Ctrl-C on the keyboard stops and deletes the Dokuwiki container.
