Question

How do I choose docker images?

Answer 1

Instead of choosing the docker image It would be better if you create one you require. What happens that sometimes, images from the hub do not include everything you want, the reason is they want minimal size. We download minimal Linux OS image and then install the packages and software as per requirement like apache, JBoss, other tools such as vim, net-tools etc. And then commit our image. That way I do not need to configure again but use that image to deploy the container. Also, on the hub the official images do have a description of what it contains. If you want to learn Docker then you can have a look at the following Docker Training Course. You can also watch the following Docker video tutorial to learn its basics.
