Docker


Docker is used to run software packages called "containers". Containers are isolated from each other and bundle their own tools, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels 
                                                                                              --Wikipedia 

I have already written a article about the containers you can check out in here https://thangaayyanar.blogspot.com/2018/06/containers.html

This time, let's learn more about docker engine how we can use this. The important things we need to know in docker are

Docker Image:

 The container can be created with the help of Image.

The Image file consists of
  • code,
  • libraries,
  • environment variables,
  • configuration files

 It is like a blueprint, if you know about Object Oriented Programming Language - It is similar to class

containers are instance of image

you can able find ton of images in dockerhub ( just like github for open source software ) which is maintained by docker

you can able to pull the image from dockerhub using

docker pull [image_name]

docker pull [image_name:tag]

[or]

If you want custom docker image,you can able to do that using the dockerfile

find the images you have downloaded using

docker images

Docker container:

To create a container from run

docker run --name [name_for_container] -it [image_name]

-it => create a pseudo tty to interact with container

Note: 
  • Before you run a image best check the image docs on how to start the specific docker image.
  • Sometimes you need to expose port if the image contain server or other services.
  • you can run the container in background ( add -d option while starting the container )

you to start container using

docker start [container_name]

and stop using

docker stop [container_name]

To interact with docker container with

docker attach [container_name]

To check the containers created and running containers using

docker ps -a

These are the basics things that is necessary get and run docker container other than that we have

Docker compose file - where we can configure your container and how much container need to started,..

Docker swarm - group of machine running docker to form a cluster simply multi-conatiner with multi-machine

My experience in iOS Hackathon

This is my second hackathon, my first hackathon was on machine learning if you want to check out that article by following the below link https://thangaayyanar.blogspot.com/2018/02/what-i-learned-from-machine-learning.html So let's get started First let us discuss about the idea of what we are trying to achieve in this hackathon. From the above image you can able to know that we are going to recognize text from the image and use it to do find which field it is.  we separated this idea into three modules Identify the region Recognize the text  Field classification Module I : Identify the region To identify the selected region we used Vision framework ( ML framework provided by apple to detect the object ). The vision framework give us the boundary of the text region ( i.e frame - x,y,width,height ).  Then using the above region we crop the selected region and pass it to the next module. Module II : Recognize the text To recognize the text we ...

codefest-ctf-18 writeup

Codefest is online CTF challenge conducted by Hackerrank on August 31 2018 6:00 PM IST to September 1 2018 12:00 PM IST. They have given dozens of challenges.  link: https://www.hackerrank.com/contests/codefest-ctf-18/challenges I manage to complete two challenges in this article i will explain how i solved the two  Typing Master Question If you think you have it in you, connect now to 34.216.132.109 9093 and prove your mettle. You will be presented with a simple typing task which is meant to check your typing speed. For example, Can you type 'Z' 10 times followed by 'u' 6 times, followed by the sum of their ASCII values? ZZZZZZZZZZuuuuuu207 Input Format Regarding input to the server - The question was designed keeping netcat in mind. Some users who are using other tools/language (eg, Python, PuTTY, TELNET) to connect to the server please note that they do not terminate the strings like netcat does. If you choose not to use netcat, t...
