Docker :fish:

• Networking in docker-compose:

  • [Host port : Container-Network Port]
  • Container IP is available to other containers as service-name in docker-compose.yml

• Docker volumes for sharing data between containers.

• Useful commands:

  • docker system prune - remove all dangling images
  • docker ps -a - list all containers
  • docker stop <x>, docker remove <x> to remove containers
