Learning Docker

Creating a Docker image using a docker file

This example shows how to create a Microsoft Windows image with IIS installed. A list of official Microsoft images can be found on the docker hub website.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/mvc/overview/deployment/docker-aspnetmvc

1. Create a file called ‘Dockerfile’ with the below content.

# The nano server version is way smaller at roughly 400MB vs 4GB for the full Windows IIS
FROM microsoft/aspnet

# Copy YOUR files from your local drive to the Docker image, can be static html pages
COPY _site/ /inetpub/wwwroot

1. Create the docker image called myblog with a tag of iis

docker build -f .\Dockerfile -t myblog:iis .

or without specifying the Dockerfile as this is the default

docker build -t myblog:iis .

1. List newly created images and run the image

# View images
docker images

# Run the image
docker run -d --name my-running-site myblog:iis

1. View the website in the browser

# Get the docker ip address
docker inspect -f "" my-running-site

Eg 172.22.208.164

Now open in browser Eg http://172.22.208.164
