Containerized server

Build

cd Chapter02/timeserver
docker build . -t timeserver

Run

$ docker run -it -p 8080:80 timeserver
Listening on 0.0.0.0:80

Test

From a new command shell:

$ curl http://localhost:8080
The time is 1:30 PM, UTC.

To test in the browser, you need to connect to the container on 8080. If you’re using Cloud Shell, use the web preview feature and select “Preview on port 8080” as pictured. You can change the port number if you need.

One-liner

The build and run steps can be combined into a convenient one-liner:

docker build . -t timeserver; docker run -it -p 8080:80 timeserver
