Blog 04 : Docker Port Mapping (Expose )

Port mapping is used to access the services running inside a Docker container. We open a host port to give us access to a corresponding open port inside the Docker container. Then all the requests that are made to the host port can be redirected into the Docker container.

EXPOSE 80

This tells Docker your webserver will listen on port 80 for TCP connections since TCP is the default. For UDP, specify the protocol after the port.

For more than one port, you can list EXPOSE more than once.

EXPOSE 80/tcp EXPOSE 80/udp EXPOSE 443/tcp EXPOSE 8081/udp

Steps For Docker Container Port Mapping

Launch an instance Ec2 -Ubuntu

Select Security Group Rule "HTTP port 80"

Launch an instance Ec2 -Ubuntu

Now open through Putty with the help of Ec2 -Keys

Now Update the Local System "UBUNTU"

apt-get update

Now Install Docker in Local System "UBUNTU"

apt-get install docker.io -y

Now Check Docker Version

docker --version

Now Search Image from Docker-Hub that image use to create Container

docker search <image_name>

Now Pull Image from Docker-Hub that image use to create Container

docker pull <image_name>

Now Create Container from Image

docker run -td --name container_01 -p 80:80 ubuntu

Now Check Container

docker ps -a

Now Check Port Mapped or Not

docker port <container_name>

Now Go inside the Container and update it

docker exec-it <container_name> /bin/bash
apt-get update

Now Install Apache Server inside the Container

apt-get install apache2 -y

Now Go inside the path

ls
cd /var/www/html
echo "content want to print on screen" >index.html

Now Restart the Apache Server

service apache restart

Now copy Public Ip Id From AWS account and Hit at Google

Now We can see the Container Port mapped and content showed
