Task 4

You need to run a container that uses the mcrmicrosoft.com/windows/servercofe/iis image on SRV1. Port 80 on the container must be published to port 5001 on SRV1 and the container must run in the background

ASee the solution of this Task below

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

To run a container on SRV1 using the mcrmicrosoft.com/windows/servercofe/iis image, publish port 80 on the container to port 5001 on SRV1, and ensure it runs in the background, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Pull the IIS Image First, pull the correct IIS image from the Microsoft Container Registry:

docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/iis

Step 2: Run the Container Next, run the container with the required port mapping and ensure it runs in the background using the -d flag:

docker run -d -p 5001:80 --name iis_container mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/iis

This command will start a container named iis_container using the IIS image, map port 80 inside the container to port 5001 on SRV1, and run the container in detached mode.

Step 3: Verify the Container is Running To verify that the container is running and the port is published, use the following command:

docker ps

This will list all running containers and show the port mappings.

Step 4: Access the IIS Server You can now access the IIS server running in the container by navigating to http://<SRV1_IP>:5001 in a web browser, where <SRV1_IP> is the IP address of SRV1.

Note: Ensure that Docker is installed on SRV1 and that the port 5001 is open on the firewall to allow incoming connections1.

By following these steps, you should be able to run the IIS container on SRV1 with the specified port mapping and have it running in the background. Please replace mcrmicrosoft.com/windows/servercofe/iis with the correct image name mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/iis as shown in the commands above.

Totally agree, running IIS in a container is a bit odd.

Wait, is that image still supported? I thought it was deprecated.

Why would you run IIS in a container? Seems unnecessary.

That’s the right command, but double-check the image name.

I practiced running containers in the background before, but I might mix up the port mapping. I hope I get it right!

I feel like I need to double-check the image name; it looks a bit off to me. Was it "mcr.microsoft.com" or something else?

This seems similar to a practice question we did on Docker, but I can't recall if we used the background flag correctly.

This seems pretty straightforward. I think I can knock this out quickly using the Docker CLI. As long as I get the image name and port mapping right, I should be good to go.

No problem, I've done this kind of thing before. I'll just need to use the right Docker commands to get the container running with the right configuration. Shouldn't take me too long to figure out.

Wait, what was the image name again? And do I need to map the ports explicitly or is there an easier way to do that? I'm a bit unsure about the details here.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. I need to use the mcrmicrosoft.com/windows/servercofe/iis image, publish port 80 to port 5001, and run it in the background. Should be doable.
