It is recommended to download and install the latest release of Kitematic, as many new advanced features will be added. We finally successfully installed Kitematic on the Windows operating system and deployed a Hello World Ngnix server. Now, if we want to configure our container and perform tasks like changing the container name, setting environment variables, specifying ports, configuring container storage, and other advanced features, we can do it on the container settings page To these. If we want to switch to the command line interface and use it to manage docker, there is a button called Docker CLI, which will open a PowerShell where we can execute docker commands.
Now, we can view our Hello World page in a web browser by clicking Preview.
We can also preview web pages on the Kitematic interface.
We can view the command log of the Kitematic deployment container. After seeing the container information, we click Create to deploy the container.Īfter the image download is complete, it will be automatically deployed. To do this, we search for Hello World Nginx in the search area. In this tutorial, we will deploy a small Nginx Web server that contains the Hello World homepage. Then click the Create button to deploy the container. To run a container, we only need to search for images in the search area. Now, after successfully installing Kitematic, we plan to deploy the container. We can search for available docker images.
