Docker snippets

Notes on using Docker Toolbox (not Docker for Mac, since I want to provision Docker hosts on remote machines).

# create a new machine
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox shiny-new-machine
$ docker-machine ls
$ eval $(docker-machine env shiny-new-machine)
$ docker-machine ip shiny-new-machine

# run a container
$ docker run -p  8001:80 nginx
$ docker ps
$ curl $(docker-machine ip shiny-new-machine)

# start up a bunch of containers
$ docker-compose -f dev.yml up

# run command in existing container
$ docker exec foo_container python manage.py migrate
