 Hello from Docker!

 This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

 To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:

  1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.

  2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.

  3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the

     executable that produces the output you are currently reading.

  4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it

     to your terminal.

 To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:

  $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

 Share images, automate workflows, and more with a free Docker Hub account:

  1. Try ubuntu bash
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash

  1. Add user to docker group
$ sudo usermod -aG docker `whoami`

  1. logout and logon again. Now you can run docker without root privilege.

  2. cleanup test code

$ docker ps -all
