Built hand labs by developers, for developers.
Docker Hands-On Labs is a repository focused on practical exercises designed to reinforce Docker concepts through direct experimentation.
This project is not a theoretical guide. Instead, it provides small, objective scenarios where the user interacts with Docker commands, containers, images, networks, and other components in a controlled environment. The purpose is to transform conceptual knowledge into operational understanding.
The main goal of this repository is to:
- Strengthen foundational Docker knowledge
- Encourage problem-solving through real command execution
- Simulate real-world container scenarios in a simplified format
- Provide short, focused labs instead of long-form tutorials
Each lab represents a specific technical situation. The user is expected to read the context, execute Docker commands, analyze behavior, and understand the outcome.
This repository represents a hands-on learning model based on:
- Direct interaction with the Docker CLI
- Observation of container lifecycle behavior
- Practical exploration of images, volumes, networks, and processes
- Controlled experimentation without unnecessary abstraction
The structure favors simplicity and clarity. Labs are intentionally small so that each one highlights a specific Docker concept without overwhelming the learner.
This project is intended for:
- Developers learning Docker fundamentals
- DevOps engineers strengthening container knowledge
- Students preparing for technical interviews
- Professionals who prefer practice over passive reading
The methodology is straightforward:
- Read the lab scenario.
- Execute the required Docker commands.
- Observe the system behavior.
- Understand the underlying container mechanics.
The focus is not on memorizing commands, but on understanding how Docker behaves under different conditions.
- Docker installed and running
- Basic familiarity with terminal usage
- Fundamental understanding of operating system processes
This repository is meant to complement official documentation and structured tutorials by providing practical exposure to container behavior in real execution scenarios.
