I wrote an article with a basic explanation of what is Docker. Being able to talk about Docker with a little bit of confidence is great; but, how do I use it? In this article, I will show you how to use Docker by example. You’ll learn how to install WordPress with Docker with little effort. Reading this tutorial will help you be more confident and knowing how to get a docker image running from scratch.

Docker is a tool that is designed to benefit both developers and system administrators, making it a part of many DevOps (developers + operations) toolchains. For developers, it means that they can focus on writing code without worrying about the system that it will ultimately be running on.
Docker is the name given to a set of products, that provide Platform as a Service capability, to deploy our software. We use these products to deliver our software in packages referred to as “containers” using Operating System virtualization strategies. I hope that by the end of this post you can be familiar with Docker and understanding its benefits. To achieve this, I will briefly start explaining Virtual Machines and how Docker containers are an evolution of those.
