In this docker video we'll cover the concepts behind docker command — so everything Docker does finally makes sense.

If you've ever been confused about why your container lost its data, why your build takes forever, or why your services can't find each other — this video explains the ideas behind Docker, not just the syntax. We cover containers, images, layers, Dockerfiles, volumes, networking, and Docker Compose — as one connected system.

What you'll learn:
- Why Docker is NOT a virtual machine
- The difference between images and containers
- How layers work and why instruction order affects build speed
- What every Dockerfile instruction actually does (FROM, RUN, COPY, CMD, ENTRYPOINT, ENV, EXPOSE)
- How volumes solve the data persistence problem
- How container networking and DNS resolution work
- How Docker Compose ties everything together
