Running amazonlinux image in docker and install php7.3 into its image

First, grab docker image from docker hubs repository

docker pull amazonlinux

run and get into its bash :

docker run -it --rm amazonlinux /bin/bash

actually you can run have any other flavor as well, such as centos.

Then, once it is running, you can perform any package installation needed. i.e httpd and php7.3 for my case.

yum install httpd
amazon-linux-extras install -y php7.3

Now, time to try commit this image.
get the container id while its running.

C:\Users\user>docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
82001296bbdc amazonlinux "bash" 26 minutes ago Up 26 minutes festive_bohr

commit the container as new image:

C:\Users\user>docker commit 82001296bbdc amazonlinux-with-php7.3
sha256:54f6cc3f5f73dcfc656a006f8d7eb96740196cca841ee7544d2349454dcfed69

show list of images:

C:\Users\user>docker images

create docker tags:

C:\Users\user>docker tag 54f6cc3f5f73 namran/amazonlinux-with-php7.3:0.001

Finally, push it out to repository:

C:\Users\user>docker push namran/amazonlinux-with-php7.3
The push refers to repository [docker.io/namran/amazonlinux-with-php7.3]
d07f916bac18: Pushing [=> ] 10.44MB/368.1MB fdf6c4a26006: Mounted from library/amazonlinux

once done, result will be like this.

then you can check at the docker repository, i.e https://hub.docker.com/u/namran

That’s it. pretty simple, right?
