Podman is Red Hat’s recommended Docker-compatible container engine that runs containers without requiring a root-owned daemon. Unlike Docker, which requires the Docker daemon (dockerd) running as root, Podman runs containers directly as the user executing the command — a model called rootless containers. This eliminates an entire class of privilege escalation vulnerabilities: even if a […]
Portainer is a lightweight, web-based Docker management UI that makes container management accessible without needing the Docker CLI. It provides a graphical interface for managing containers, images, volumes, networks, Docker Compose stacks, and container registries. Portainer Community Edition (CE) is open-source and supports Docker standalone, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes environments. It is particularly valuable for […]
Docker Compose transforms multi-container application deployment from a series of manual docker run commands into a declarative, version-controlled configuration. A production-ready Compose deployment includes health checks (to ensure services are truly ready before dependent services start), resource limits (to prevent runaway containers from consuming all host resources), restart policies (to automatically recover from failures), and […]
A private Docker registry allows organisations to store and distribute container images internally, without relying on Docker Hub or a cloud registry. This is essential for teams working with proprietary application images that cannot be stored in public registries, organisations with strict data sovereignty requirements, and environments with limited internet access. Docker provides an official […]
Efficient Docker image and container management is fundamental to maintaining a healthy container environment. Docker images accumulate on hosts — old base images, build cache layers, and unused intermediate images can consume tens of gigabytes of disk space if not managed regularly. Understanding the Docker image layer model is key: images consist of read-only layers […]
Docker’s networking model allows containers to communicate with each other, with the host, and with external networks in a controlled, isolated manner. Docker creates three default networks: bridge (the default for standalone containers), host (shares the host’s network namespace — maximum performance, no isolation), and none (no networking). For production applications, custom bridge networks provide […]
Docker containers are ephemeral by default — all data written inside a container is lost when the container is removed. Docker provides two mechanisms for persisting data and sharing files between containers and the host: volumes (managed by Docker, stored in /var/lib/docker/volumes/) and bind mounts (map a host directory directly into a container). Volumes are […]
Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications from a single YAML configuration file (docker-compose.yml or compose.yaml). Instead of manually running multiple docker run commands and configuring networks and volumes by hand, Docker Compose allows you to declare all services (web application, database, cache, message queue) in one file and start […]
Docker Engine is the industry-standard container platform that packages applications and their dependencies into portable, isolated containers. A Docker container bundles the application code, runtime, libraries, and configuration into a single image that runs identically on any Linux host with Docker installed, eliminating the “it works on my machine” problem. RHEL 9 does not include […]
Deno is a modern JavaScript and TypeScript runtime built on V8 and Rust. Created by Ryan Dahl (the original creator of Node.js), Deno addresses design decisions he regretted in Node.js: Deno has first-class TypeScript support with no build step required, uses ES modules exclusively (no CommonJS), has a secure-by-default permissions model (scripts cannot access the […]
