Use Docker on Azure to run Mono

Docker is a fairly popular noun recently, it is a lightweight virtual technology based on Linux Container, and Microsoft is quite active in partnering with Docker, supporting this fiery technology on Azure, and providing a simple way to build Docker Host, This article will show you how to use Docker on Azure.

About Docker

Docker is an open source project, and the main feature is the ability to package applications in a LXC (Linux Container) container, and when these applications are packaged into containers, deployment and migration are made simpler. Compared to traditional virtualization technologies, virtual machines need to have an operating system installed to execute applications, while Container can run applications without having to install an operating system. Container technology is a Kernel layer within the operating system to create a virtual run environment, so Container shared the Host OS Kernel, but through the namespace to isolate each container to achieve the purpose.

This article does not give you an in-depth introduction to Docker, which focuses on the support provided by Azure for Docker, and provides a detailed overview of Docker Getting Started tutorial.

Building a Docker Host on Azure

Docker can run under the Linux operating system, so if you're using Docker on Azure, you can build a Linux VM yourself and install and run Docker Deamon on it. Microsoft, after formally announcing its close collaboration with Docker, has launched a direct support for Docker, installing the Docker in CentOS 7

The Docker package is already included in the default Centos-extras software source. So you want to install Docker, just run the following yum command:

[email protected] ~]# Yum install Docker

Start the Docker service

[Email protected] Mono ~]# systemctl start Docker.service

[Email protected] Mono ~]# systemctl enable Docker.service

Download the official CentOS image to the local

[email protected] ~]# Docker pull CentOS

Centos:latest:The image you pulling have been verified

511136ea3c5a:pull Complete

5b12ef8fd570:pull Complete

34943839435d:pull Complete

status:downloaded newer image for Centos:latest

Confirm that the CentOS image has been acquired:

[email protected] ~]# Docker images CentOS

REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE

CentOS latest 34943839435d days ago 224 MB

As we can see, the CentOS container has been started and we have the bash prompt. In the Docker command we used the "-I capture standard input and output" and "-T assign a terminal or console" option. To break the connection to the container, enter exit.

[[Email protected]/]# exit

Exit

We can also search for mono-based containers. Discovering that there are already very many mono containers, we started playing Docker mono.

[email protected] ~]# Docker search Mono
