I wrote a book on Docker and made it open-source

by

Although The Docker Handbook started its life as a freeCodeCamp article, I have turned it into a GitBook hosted book this year.

The previously released version on FCC garnered quite a lot of attention and I'm hoping that the new version will too.

The book can be found on [https://docker.farhan.info](https://docker.farhan.info)

The FCC version can be found on [https://freecodecamp.org/news/the-docker-handbook](https://freecodecamp.org/news/the-docker-handbook)

C&C is welcomed 😃

  11. Just wanted to say thanks for this! Been messing around setting up a homelab and have been trying Docker along the way. It helped clear a few things up and bridge the knowledge gap between the blogs posts I’ve read and the official documentation.

  12. Hey OP! I was just looking for something like this! You definitely became an angel for me now lol.

    This is super dumb, I know, but is there a right/common order in the sense of:

    Start and bud a project > “Put it” inside a container.

    OR.

    start the container > then build the project inside of it.

    I am not sure what should come first or what is the common practice in companies.

    Thank you again!!
