Deploying containers

Launch a t3a.medium EC2 instance with Amazon, Linux, and either SSH connectivity or a systems manager role for connectivity.

Use the following commands to install Docker:

sudo yum install docker -y
sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user
newgrp docker

This command is used to enable the Docker service so that we can start it with the next command:

sudo systemctl enable docker.service

This command is used to start the Docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker.service

This command will search the public Docker repository for any containers named or labeled GDAL:

sudo docker search gdal

This results in the following output:

Figure 8.2: GDAL output

This command will pull down the GDAL container from the Docker public container registry so we can run it locally on our machine:

Sudo docker pull osgeo/gdal

Figure 8.3: Installing GDAL

This command will show the Docker container images...
