Image Creation Overview

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.

Image Development

Teams may use either of the two options below to create a competitor image:

Option 1: Interactive process using `docker commit`

In this tutorial we open a terminal into a Docker image and save changes with the Docker commit command. 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. This is probably the fastest way to get started for new Docker users.

Option 2: 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.
