Docker

When to Use This Skill

USE when:

  • Building reproducible development environments
  • Creating consistent CI/CD pipelines
  • Deploying microservices architectures
  • Isolating application dependencies
  • Packaging applications for distribution
  • Setting up local development with multiple services
  • Need portable environments across teams

DON'T USE when:

  • Simple scripts that don't need isolation
  • Applications that require direct hardware access
  • Environments where containers aren't permitted
  • Tasks better suited for virtual machines (full OS isolation)
  • When simpler alternatives like venv suffice

Prerequisites

Installation

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

bash
# Install Docker Engine
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh

# Add user to docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
