Docker Beginners Guide - Troubleshooting


Beginners Guide to dockers part 1, has covered the architecture of dockers. Along with this, so far, I have covered different types of dockers installation and how to download, install and delete docker image.

In this post, I will be covering more about docker commands which are really very useful while working with docker containers.

Obtaining Docker Version Information: This command will help to provide information about the docker server and client for your current working configuration. The output of the command states that CE version is being used with API and GO version details. Client deployed on windows platform, it is showing OS is windows. But for server it is showing that OS is linux. This installation has client and server installed on same machine. I am using docker tools to acces the docker server installed on same machine.

        
PS C:\lab\test-html> docker version
Client:
 Version:      18.03.1-ce
 API version:  1.37

Obtaining Docker System Infomration: The next important command is the docker system info command. This command provides information about what mode the Docker engine is operating in (swarm mode or not), what storage driver is used for the union filesystem, what version of the Linux kernel we have on our host, and much more. Please have a careful look at the output generated by your system when running the command. Analyze what kind of information is shown below.

Listing The Resource Consumption: The below output is showing how much resources are currently used. Below mentioned output tells that on system I am currently having 14 images locally cached of which 4 are in active use. An image is considered to be in active use if currently at least one running or stopped container is based on it. These images occupy 1.39 GB disk space. I have 15 running containers on my system and 1 stopped ones for a total of 14 containers. I can reclaim the space occupied by the stopped containers which is 472B. I also have 8 active volumes on my host that together consume about 136.5 MB of disk space. Since none of the volumes are in use, I can reclaim 100% of the space.Finally, my Build Cache is currently empty and thus of course I cannot reclaim any space there too.
        
PS C:\lab\test-html> docker system df

Checking the Status of the Docker Events: I liked the below mentioned command because it actually tells me what is happening in the background whenever I run any of the docker command.
        
PS C:\Lab\test-html> docker system events


I would suggest to open a new window and run the docker standard start or stop command. I am going to run a hello-world docker container and correspondingly we can see the list of events which are happening in background in the preious open terminal where we have issued the "Docker System Events" command.
        
PS C:\lab\test-html> docker run hello-world

The above mentioned list of commands and respective outputs are really helpful while troubleshooting. Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.
