After the restart, we see the shortcut ‘Docker Desktop’ and if we check the hidden icons, we can see services are getting started.Ĩ.

Once the installation has been completed, we get the below window to restart the host.ħ. Installation gets started as soon as we press the ‘Ok’ button.Ħ. Given below shows the creation of windows docker host:ĥ. Also, all the required binaries or libraries to run an application are encapsulated in an image called Docker image. It uses Docker Host’s kernel to access the resources. When we talk about containers it looks similar to VMs however the main difference is containers do not have a full-blown operating system. Docker daemon checks for the Docker image that is mentioned in the command locally and if it does not find the image locally then it goes to the Docker registry and searches there, if it finds the image over there, it first pulls that image locally and then starts the container. As soon as we hit enter after typing the command, CLI makes a REST API call to docker daemon in JSON format.Ģ. When we run any container on the Docker Host using Docker CLI, it gets executed as below:ġ.

We can either install Docker CLI or Docker client on Docker Host or any different remote computer. It is underlying hardware.Īs we know, it is a physical machine or VM on which Docker daemon is installed, we need Docker client to interact with the Docker daemon running. We then run containers, build images, volumes, networks, etc from Docker CLI. It provides a platform on which Docker daemon runs. Any workstation on which we install Docker becomes Docker Host.
