Creating a Competitor Image

This sequence of tutorials describes required preparation, two alternative processes for creating a competitor image, and some minimal working examples.

Preparation

How to install required dependencies and set up a Dockerhub account.

Interactive process using docker commit

In this tutorial we open a terminal into a Docker image and save changes with the Docker commit command.

• This is probably the fastest way to get started for new Docker users.
• The interactive process is more similar to the experience of developing directly on a machine, and thus has a lower barrier of entry for first-time Docker users.

Scripted process using a Dockerfile

This tutorial explains a fully automated and self-documenting process for building an image using a `Dockerfile`.

• This approach uses a more common workflow for Docker users, but requires more familiarity with Docker's concepts and practices.

Minimal Working Examples
