Exporting Docker images to a remote machine

In this post, we will explain how to export a Docker image, transfer it to a remote machine and run a Docker container based on it. This post is related to our project and the image which is created described in a previous post.

Creating the first Container on a Server

This post will explain how you can set up a Jenkins job that will build a Docker image which is defined by a Dockerfile. Later, it will be deployed onto a remote server, so our application will be running in an own container on its own machine.
