Docker - Application Install   

 

When you install (pull) a linux into a docker, you may realize the installed Linux is missing with so many basic commands you use everyday. So you need to install all those command (utilities) manually as per your needs. In my case, I am installing most of the tools listed in this note whenever I install Linux in a docker.

NOTE: The installation command in this note is mostly for Debian/Ubuntu, you may need to figure out another method of installation if you use other Linux distribution.

 

 

Get Into the Container

 

In order to install application software within a container, you need to get into the container first as shown below.

 

docker exec -it [container name or id] [command line processor name]

 

 

 

 

apt update

 

 

apt update

 

 

 

Install net-tools

 

 

apt install net-tools

 

NOTE : this provides verious network related commands like ifconfig.

 

 

 

Install ping

 

 

apt-get install iputils-ping

 

 

 

Install nano

 

 

apt update -y && apt install -y nano

 

 

 

Install ssh

 

 

apt install openssh-server

 

NOTE : After the installation of the ssh server, you may need to do some extra procedures to make it work for you more conviniently. For the extra procedure, refer to this(Root Login) and this (troubleshoot) and this (IPv4 and IPv6) note.

 

 

 

Install sudo

 

 

apt-get update && apt-get -y install sudo

 

 

 

Install service

 

 

apt-get install sysvinit-utils

 

NOTE : In regular Linux distribution, we tend to use systemctl command for various operations of services, but I didn't manage to make systemctl in docker. So I wanted to use 'service' command which is not installed in docker linux.

 

 

 

Install nslookup

 

 

apt install dnsutils

 

 

 

Install tcpdump

 

 

apt-get install tcpdump

 

 

 

Install kmod

 

 

apt-get install kmod

 

NOTE : This installs 'lsmod' command
