# Prepare Your Laptop - You will be learning the practical modules on your own laptops. - Prepare your laptop with the following three tasks well before the workshop. --- ## Task 1: Update System - Make sure your laptop is up to date and secure. You can do this by updating your system software on Mac, Windows or Linux as follows: - [Keep your Mac up to date](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/keep-your-mac-up-to-date-mchlpx1065/mac) - [How to Update Windows 10 & 11: A Step-by-Step Guide](https://www.wikihow.com/Update-Windows) - [How to update Linux: Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu, Fedora](https://1gbits.com/blog/how-to-update-linux/) --- ## Task 2: Install Docker - Install Docker on your laptop by following these intructions for your laptop: - Docker Desktop is available for Mac, Linux and Windows - <https://docs.docker.com/desktop> - <https://docs.docker.com/get-started/introduction/get-docker-desktop/> - Alternatively, On Linux Install Docker Engine - <https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/> --- ## Task 3: Check Docker Works - Check that your docker installation was successful - If Docker Desktop is installed, make sure that it is launched and running. - Open your CLI terminal and start a container by running the command: ```sh docker run hello-world ``` - You should receive a `Hello from Docker!` in the output. - Run `welcome-to-docker` as daemon mapping port 80 to 8080. ```sh docker run -d -p 8080:80 docker/welcome-to-docker ``` - Visit <http://localhost:8080> in your browser to access this container and see a welcome message. - Identify and Stop the running `welcome-to-docker` container. --- ## Task 4: Pull workshop docker images - We will use the workshop's latest docker images built for the two main processor architectures. - First you need to find out which type of processor your laptop has (do an online search if you don't know how). - You can simply pull these docker images as follows: - For most modern Mac laptops with silicon M1/M2/etc. on ARM 64 bit processors: ```sh docker pull vakeworks/sovscadesdismalops:dev-arm64 ``` - For most Windows, Linux and older Mac laptops with Intel x86/AMD 64 bit processors: ```sh docker pull vakeworks/sovscadesdismalops:dev-amd64 ``` - You should be able to open terminal inside a running docker container - [OPTIONAL] You can checkout [command-line](./cli.md) and [docker](./docker.md) pages we will be going through. - [OPTIONAL] Advanced Exercise: You can build these docker images from scratch on your own by following [Docker Ray Dev](./docker-ray-dev.md).
