¶ What is a Container Manager?
Container Manager in Codesnack IDE lets you manage Docker containers directly within your Cloud Container. It allows you to download Docker images, create and edit containers, monitor their status, view logs, and bind ports, volumes, and environment variables. For example, you can easily set up a MySQL or MongoDB container, providing your application with a local database right in the cloud.
¶ Quick Overview
¶ Search for images in Docker Hub
In Codesnack IDE, users can search for Docker images directly through the integrated Docker Hub interface. A search bar allows you to enter queries to quickly find the images you need. The interface displays relevant images along with useful details such as download counts, star ratings, and more.
Additionally, you’ll find a curated list of popular images - including main databases, reverse proxy solutions, and other essential images - that can be downloaded with a single click. This streamlined search and download experience makes it easier than ever to set up the containers your projects require.
¶ Create and manage containers
Once you’ve found the Docker image you need, you can easily configure it and create a container using Container Manager. During container creation, you can:
• Specify a container name
• Enable or disable resource limitations and auto-restart
• Bind ports (e.g., 3306 for MySQL)
• Set up volume mounts to store persistent data
• Define environment variables as needed
After your container is created, Container Manager allows you to start or stop the container, view real-time logs, and make additional customizations. This streamlined process helps you quickly set up and manage essential services - like databases - within your CodeSnack IDE Cloud Container.
