An introductory tutorial to Container Management using either Docker Desktop or Rancher Desktop. The material is designed for developers, testers, and technical writers who have never used Container Management before.
Both Rancher and Docker use the Moby Project as the underdyling engine and so once the product is set up all commands work identically.
Containers are a popular technology but it's often confusing for the novice. This short tutorial makes no assumptions about prior container knowledge and takes the you through the basic concepts and terminology.
Along the way attendees will learn how to build images, run containers, map ports and create mounts. Finally Docker Compose is introduced.
