Docker

Since this project utilizes Docker technologies extensively, it is necessary to provide documentation on Docker.

Before reading books on Docker, one can start reading some of the following articles:

1. Six Docker Basics
2. Docker ARG, ENV and .env - a Complete Guide
3. Container Terminology Practical Introduction

Docker Installation Mysteries

There are two main packages for Docker installation, docker.io and containerd.io. If your network doesn't resolve certain repository site, you might not be able to install the software properly, and you might not be given the signals about why. In my case, I used a VPN service to pretend my computer is situated in the USA, and some problems are resolved. The particular case in point is here:

echo "[TASK 5] Install containerd runtime"
apt update -qq >/dev/null 2>&1
apt install -qq -y containerd apt-transport-https >/dev/null 2>&1
mkdir /etc/containerd
containerd config default > /etc/containerd/config.toml
systemctl restart containerd
systemctl enable containerd >/dev/null 2>&1

Install software from local repository

One way to avoid software download problems is to install a local instance of software repository. Relevant information can be found here: Set up Local Repository for Ubuntu.
