# Docker Cheatsheet

## Overview
Docker is a platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in containers.

## Installation
- [Docker Desktop for Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/)
- [Docker Desktop for Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/)
- [Docker Engine for Linux](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)

## Basic Usage
1. Create a `Dockerfile` in the root directory of your project.
2. Define the base image and any additional dependencies or configuration.
3. Build the Docker image using `docker build`.
4. Run the Docker container using `docker run`.

## Dockerfile Syntax

Use an official Python runtime as a parent image

FROM python:3.7-slim

Set the working directory to /app

WORKDIR /app

Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app

COPY . /app

Install any needed packages specified in requirements.txt

RUN pip install --trusted-host pypi.python.org -r requirements.txt

Make port 80 available to the world outside this container

EXPOSE 80

Define environment variable

ENV NAME World

Run app.py when the container launches

CMD ["python", "app.py"]

- The `FROM` keyword specifies the base image to use.
- The `WORKDIR` keyword sets the working directory for subsequent commands.
- The `COPY` keyword copies files from the host to the container.
- The `RUN` keyword executes a command in the container.
- The `EXPOSE` keyword exposes a port for the container.
- The `ENV` keyword sets an environment variable.
- The `CMD` keyword specifies the default command to run when the container starts.

## Commands
- `docker build`: Builds a Docker image from a Dockerfile.
- `docker run`: Runs a Docker container from an image.
- `docker ps`: Lists all running containers.
- `docker stop`: Stops a running container.
- `docker rm`: Removes a stopped container.
- `docker rmi`: Removes an image.
- `docker-compose`: Manages multi-container Docker applications.
