Docker images can support multiple architectures, which means that a singleimage may contain variants for different architectures, and sometimes for differentoperating systems, such as Windows.

When running an image with multi-architecture support, docker willautomatically select an image variant which matches your OS and architecture.

Most of the official images on Docker Hub provide a variety of architectures.For example, the busybox image supports amd64, arm32v5, arm32v6,arm32v7, arm64v8, i386, ppc64le, and s390x. When running this imageon an x86_64 / amd64 machine, the x86_64 variant will be pulled and run.

Docker Desktop provides binfmt_misc multi-architecture support,which means you can run containers for different Linux architecturessuch as arm, mips, ppc64le, and even s390x.

This does not require any special configuration in the container itself as it usesqemu-static from the Docker forMac VM. Because of this, you can run an ARM container, like the arm32v7 or ppc64levariants of the busybox image.

Buildx (Experimental)

Docker is now making it easier than ever to develop containers on, and for Arm servers and devices. Using the standard Docker tooling and processes, you can start to build, push, pull, and run images seamlessly on different compute architectures. Note that you don’t have to make any changes to Dockerfiles or source code to start building for Arm.

Docker introduces a new CLI command called buildx. You can use the buildx command on Docker Desktop for Mac and Windows to build multi-arch images, link them together with a manifest file, and push them all to a registry using a single command. With the included emulation, you can transparently build more than just native images. Buildx accomplishes this by adding new builder instances based on BuildKit, and leveraging Docker Desktop’s technology stack to run non-native binaries.

For more information about the Buildx CLI command, see Buildx.

Install

1. Download the latest version of Docker Desktop.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. After you have successfully installed Docker Desktop, you will see the Docker icon in your task tray.

3. Click About Docker Desktop from the Docker menu and ensure you have installed Docker Desktop version 2.0.4.0 (33772) or higher.

Build and run multi-architecture images

Run the command docker buildx ls to list the existing builders. This displays the default builder, which is our old builder.

Create a new builder which gives access to the new multi-architecture features.

Alternatively, run docker buildx create --name mybuilder --use to create a new builder and switch to it using a single command.

Switch to the new builder and inspect it.

Test the workflow to ensure you can build, push, and run multi-architecture images. Create a simple example Dockerfile, build a couple of image variants, and push them to Docker Hub.

Where, username is a valid Docker username.

Notes:

• The --platform flag informs buildx to generate Linux images for AMD 64-bit, Arm 64-bit, and Armv7 architectures.
• The --push flag generates a multi-arch manifest and pushes all the images to Docker Hub.

Inspect the image using imagetools.

The image is now available on Docker Hub with the tag username/demo:latest. You can use this image to run a container on Intel laptops, Amazon EC2 A1 instances, Raspberry Pis, and on other architectures. Docker pulls the correct image for the current architecture, so Raspberry Pis run the 32-bit Arm version and EC2 A1 instances run 64-bit Arm. The SHA tags identify a fully qualified image variant. You can also run images targeted for a different architecture on Docker Desktop.

You can run the images using the SHA tag, and verify the architecture. For example, when you run the following on a macOS:

In the above example, uname -m returns aarch64 and armv7l as expected, even when running the commands on a native macOS developer machine.

Welcome! We are excited that you want to learn Docker.

This page contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started with Docker. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

• Build and run an image as a container
• Share images using Docker Hub
• Deploy Docker applications using multiple containers with a database
• Running applications using Docker Compose

In addition, you’ll also learn about the best practices for building images, including instructions on how to scan your images for security vulnerabilities.

We also recommend the video walkthrough from DockerCon 2020.

Download and install Docker

This tutorial assumes you have a current version of Docker installed on yourmachine. If you do not have Docker installed, choose your preferred operating system below to download Docker:

For Docker Desktop installation instructions, see Install Docker Desktop on Mac and Install Docker Desktop on Windows.

Start the tutorial

If you’ve already run the command to get started with the tutorial, congratulations! If not, open a command prompt or bash window, and run the command:

You’ll notice a few flags being used. Here’s some more info on them:

• -d - run the container in detached mode (in the background)
• -p 80:80 - map port 80 of the host to port 80 in the container
• docker/getting-started - the image to use

Tip

You can combine single character flags to shorten the full command.As an example, the command above could be written as:

The Docker Dashboard

Before going too far, we want to highlight the Docker Dashboard, which givesyou a quick view of the containers running on your machine. The Docker Dashboard is available for Mac and Windows. It gives you quick access to container logs, lets you get a shell inside the container, and lets youeasily manage container lifecycle (stop, remove, etc.).

To access the dashboard, follow the instructions for either Mac or Windows. If you open the dashboardnow, you will see this tutorial running! The container name (jolly_bouman below) is arandomly created name. So, you’ll most likely have a different name.

What is a container?

Now that you’ve run a container, what is a container? Simply put, a container issimply another process on your machine that has been isolated from all other processeson the host machine. That isolation leverages kernel namespaces and cgroups, features that have been in Linux for a long time. Docker has worked to make these capabilities approachable and easy to use.

Creating containers from scratch

What To Do With Docker On Pi 4 Youtube

If you’d like to see how containers are built from scratch, Liz Rice from Aqua Securityhas a fantastic talk in which she creates a container from scratch in Go. While she makesa simple container, this talk doesn’t go into networking, using images for the filesystem, and more. But, it gives a fantastic deep dive into how things are working.

What is a container image?

When running a container, it uses an isolated filesystem. This custom filesystem is provided by a container image. Since the image contains the container’s filesystem, it must contain everything needed to run an application - all dependencies, configuration, scripts, binaries, etc. The image also contains other configuration for the container, such as environment variables,a default command to run, and other metadata.

We’ll dive deeper into images later on, covering topics such as layering, best practices, and more.

Info

If you’re familiar with chroot, think of a container as an extended version of chroot. Thefilesystem is simply coming from the image. But, a container adds additional isolation notavailable when simply using chroot.
