Building your own images - artisticcheese/artisticcheesecontainer GitHub Wiki

##Building your own images There are 2 ways of building images and only one of them is recommended by both docker and Microsoft.

1. Build your image using docker file
2. Build your image by making changes manually to the image and then committing it.

If you go with option 1 then you are required to author series of docker files. Docker file are special files passed to Docker enginer with instructions how to create your image and additional options for resulting image. Details can be found here (https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/). For option number 2 you just launch your container, login into it, do whatever changes you want (install software, change registry etc) and in the end commit image via docker commit CLI.
