How do I deploy containers on Linux

Deploying containers on Linux can greatly simplify application deployment and improve scalability. Containers allow you to package applications with their dependencies, ensuring they run consistently across different environments. The most common tool for managing containers is Docker.

To deploy a container on Linux, follow these steps:

  1. Install Docker on your Linux machine.
  2. Pull a Docker image from a repository (like Docker Hub).
  3. Run the Docker container using the image.

Here's a simple example of deploying a container:

# Install Docker sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install docker.io # Pull an image (e.g., nginx) sudo docker pull nginx # Run the container sudo docker run -d -p 80:80 nginx
