Running a container interactively can be useful, but often it's not what we really need. A web server stack is made up of several components such as the Linux OS, the Apache web server, a PHP runtime, and a database such as MySQL. Collectively, we call this a LAMP stack. If we were to run these in Docker with what we now know, we'd have to keep open several terminal windows!
Obviously that's not what we want to do. Instead, we want to run the containers in the background. That way, we can use them like we would any web server. Fortunately, Docker makes running and managing a container in the a background easy with just a few commands.
In this tutorial, we'll:
- Start a container in the background
- Use
docker ps
to list running Docker containers - Use
docker run
to enter a container running in the background - Use
docker kill
to stop a container running in the background
Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously. In this tutorial we'll look at the art, and science, of giving a good hug. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word hug as; squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.
Did you know there are all kinds of different hugs that you can give? In this tutorial we'll look at:
- Defining what a hug is
- Some of the many types of hugs in the world today
- Precautions you may want to familiarize yourself with before hugging
- And the importance of proper technique
Lets go ahead and get started shall we?
