For building the official CentOS docker image, we would need to download the necessary files from the following link:
CentOS 6 Official docker image build files
The following are the necessary files
- File named dockerfile
- The compressed CentOS6 docker file
Create a directory for downloading the files.
mkdir CentOS-Docker cd CentOS-Docker
Now download the files into this directory. The files can be downloaded using the following commands
wget https://github.com/CentOS/sig-cloud-instance-images/raw/311d80f2e558eba3a6ea88c387714ae2e4175702/docker/Dockerfile wget https://github.com/CentOS/sig-cloud-instance-images/blob/311d80f2e558eba3a6ea88c387714ae2e4175702/docker/centos-6-20150615_2019-docker.tar.xz?raw=true mv centos-6-20150615_2019-docker.tar.xz\?raw\=true centos-6-20150615_2019-docker.tar.xz
Once these files are downloaded, run the following command to build the docker image
docker build .
The output of the command will be like this.

Now run the container from this image built, by using the following command
docker run docker -it 9891dba63992 /bin/bash
