How to build Docker Images using Docker File on Debian 11.3
To Build Docker Images Using Docker File on Debian 11.3.
Introduction:
A Docker image is a file used to execute code in a Docker container. Docker images act as a set of instructions to build a Docker container, like a template. Docker images also act as the starting point when using Docker.
Procedure:
Step 1: Check the OS version by using the below Command
root@linuxhelp: ~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release: 11
Codename: bullseye
Step 2: To verify the Docker image install by using the below command
root@linuxhelp:~# apt list --installed | grep docker
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
docker-ce-cli/bullseye,now 5:20.10.17~3-0~debian-bullseye amd64 [installed]
docker-ce-rootless-extras/bullseye, now 5:20.10.17~3-0~debian-bullseye amd64 [installed,automatic]
docker-ce/bullseye,now 5:20.10.17~3-0~debian-bullseye amd64 [installed]
docker-scan-plugin/bullseye, now 0.17.0~debian-bullseye amd64 [installed,automatic]
Step 3: Check the Docker Version by using the below command
root@linuxhelp: ~# docker -v
Docker version 20.10.17, build 100c701
Step 4: Next create a folder, named docker files by using the below command
root@linuxhelp: ~# mkdir dockerfiles
Step 5: Make a new file name docker files inside the docker folder by using the below command
root@linuxhelp: ~# nano dockerfiles/dockerfile
#Getting Image from docker hub
From httpd
RUN apt-get update
CMD [“echo”, “Apache Web Server Image”]
Step 6: Next build the file and give the location of Docker file by using the below command
root@linuxhelp: ~# docker build dockerfiles

Conclusion:
We have reached the end of this article. In this guide, we have walked you through the steps required to Build Docker Images using Docker Files on Debian 11.3. Your feedback is much welcome.
Q
What is a container image?
A
A container image is an unchangeable, static file that includes executable code so it can run an isolated process on information technology (IT) infrastructure.
Q
What is extension of Dockerfile?
A
A Dockerfile must be created with no extension. To do this in Windows, create the file with your editor of choice, then save it with the notation "Dockerfile" (including the quotes).
Q
How do I view an image in docker?
A
To analyze a Docker image, simply run dive command with Docker "Image ID". You can get your Docker images' IDs using "sudo docker images" command. Here, ea4c82dcd15a is Docker image id. The Dive command will quickly analyze the given Docker image and display its contents in the Terminal.
Q
What is a docker image vs container?
A
Docker images describe the applications and how they can be run. Docker containers are the image instances, where multiple containers of the same image can be run, each in a different state.
Q
What is Dockerfile used for?
A
A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image. Using docker build users can create an automated build that executes several command-line instructions in succession. This page describes the commands you can use in a Dockerfile.
