One of my purposes for 2021 is to simplify Docker for beginners.

Let's start with some definitions:

🏠Docker host
⚙️Docker engine
❓ Docker client
📝Dockerfile
📑Docker Image
🐳Docker Container
🐙Docker Compose
🪣 Docker Registry
🐳🐳🐳Docker Swarm

Definitions Below 👇

🏠Docker (Active) Host

A computer with Docker installed and the daemon running.

It can process Docker and non-Docker workloads.
⚙️Docker Engine

A Client-Server application. It has 3 components:

- "daemon process": A server that is a type of long-running program.

- "Rest API": to specify interfaces that programs can use to talk and interact with the daemon.

- "CLI": A command-line interface client
❓Docker Client

It sends commands to dockerd, using the Docker API.
It can communicate with multiple daemons.
📝Dockerfile

It's a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image.
📑Docker Image

It's a file, composed of multiple layers, often based on another image, that contains everything you need to run your application.

Containers run on top of existing images.
🐳Docker Container

It's a standard unit of software that packages up code and dependencies, running as a process on the host machine.
🐙Docker Compose

It's a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications, called services.

You use a YAML file to configure the services, that can be created/started/stopped with a single command.

It works well in development, testing, and production.
🪣 Docker registry

It's a stateless server-side application to store Docker images. The images can be pulled or pushed.

It can be public/private.

Docker Hub is a public Docker registry.
🐳🐳🐳Docker Swarm

It's used to manage multiple machines where Docker is installed.

It allows you to manage multiple containers deployed across multiple host machines (nodes).

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
