Step 2: Customize and Push to Docker Hub

The Docker Desktop installation includes Docker Engine, Docker CLI client, Docker Compose, Notary, Kubernetes, and Credential Helper. Containers and images created with Docker Desktop are shared between all user accounts on machines where it is installed. This is because all Windows accounts use the same VM to build and run containers. Docker Desktop is an easy-to-install application for your Mac or Windows environment that enables you to start coding and containerizing in minutes. Docker Desktop includes everything you need to build, test and ship containerized applications right from your machine. Benefits include. Docker Desktop is an easy-to-install application for your Mac or Windows environment that enables you to build and share containerized applications and microservices. Docker Desktop includes Docker Engine, Docker CLI client, Docker Compose, Notary, Kubernetes, and Credential Helper.

Install Docker Desktop. With the WSL 2 backend supported in Docker Desktop for Windows, you can work in a Linux-based development environment and build Linux-based containers, while using Visual Studio Code for code editing and debugging, and running your container in the Microsoft Edge browser on Windows.

The last step used a Docker image which Microsoft publishes and maintains. Next step, create your own custom image. You should have a Docker ID, you probably created it to download Docker Desktop.

In your favorite text editor create a file called Dockerfile in the same C:temp directory. No extension, just Dockerfile. Paste in this code and save the file:

This tells Docker to use the same IIS base image, and create a layer that adds in the HTML you created in the last step. Instead of manually copying a file into the container, you will create an image with your HTML already inside it. To build the image, in your terminal, type:

Two things, first replace <YourDockerID> with your Docker ID. Also notice the “.” at the end of the line. That tells Docker to build in the context of this directory. So when it looks to COPY the file to /inetpub/wwwroot it will use the file from this directory.

You can run it:

And go to http://localhost:8081 to see the page - note your original container is still running and you can see it at http://localhost:8080.

Finally push to Docker Hub:

Docker Desktop For Linux

You may be asked to login if you haven’t already. Then you can go to hub.docker.com, login and check your repositories

Finally, stop and remove the running containers:
