- [Narrator] Let's say that you'd like
to set up your own environment
to recreate what you see in this course on Docker Storage.
First, I recommend that if you haven't already,
make sure that you watch my
Docker: Installation and Configuration course.
Because in that course I show you
how I use VMware Fusion, a local hypervisor
on my MAC desktop system to create three different
Ubuntu Linux virtual machines and then
inside each of those Ubuntu Linux virtual Machines
I install Docker Enterprise Edition
with the universal control plane.
And it's these virtual machines that I'll be using
to demonstrate the Docker storage and volume features
that you'll see in this course step by step.
So that's one option for you.
You can use a local hypervisor
on a Windows or MAC desktop system.
Install something like VMware Fusion or VMware Workstation,
and then install Ubuntu inside virtual machines
and then run Docker.
Now, alternatively, if you'd like to
just run Docker locally on a MAC or Windows
Docker provides Docker for MAC or Docker for Windows.
If you look up here you can see how I've installed
Docker for MAC Community Edition
on my local MAC laptop.
This is free, it's very easy to do,
and just about every Docker Storage and Volume
demonstration that I do in this course,
you should be able to recreate using Docker for MAC
or Docker for Windows.
The most important thing when you're done
is that you end up with a command prompt
that looks something like this.
When you run Docker, you should be able to
perform commands like Docker help,
Docker info, and Docker version.
So this is Docker for MAC and you can see
the version of Docker we're using here 18.03.
If we clear the screen and we do an SSH over to node one
in our Docker cluster.
And then if I do a Docker version here, you can see
we are one version behind, we're still using Docker 17.06.
But this is the Enterprise Edition.
Either way, the Docker Storage and Volume
demonstrations that you see in this course
should work just fine.
So you have multiple ways to create an environment
to learn to use Docker Storage in your own home lab
environment or even out in the Cloud.
