“Every image has a story. But this one begins with a riddle.”
Welcome to DockQuest Challenge: The Build Sequence, a lightweight and beginner-friendly Docker experience where you’ll learn by doing, exploring, and piecing things together.
This isn’t a complicated puzzle. There are no traps or advanced exploits.
It’s a gentle introduction to the world of Docker.... with a small twist.
This is made for:
- Beginners just getting started with Docker
- Curious minds who enjoy learning by doing
- Anyone comfortable with basic Linux commands (
cd,ls,mv, etc.)
If you have some basic Docker or Linux knowledge, you’ll move faster. But total beginners are welcome too.
Ensure Docker is installed:
docker --versionIf not installed, follow the official instructions for your platform:
💡 Note for Windows Users:
To run Docker and this challenge, you must install Docker Desktop with WSL2 enabled.
Docker Desktop handles the Linux environment needed for Docker to work on Windows.Learn more and install here:
This repo contains the scripts you’ll need to get going:
git clone https://github.com/bhaktimore18/dockquest.git
cd dockquest
chmod +x *.shStart your journey with:
./setup.sh # Prepares the environment
./launch.sh # Drops you into the challengeDone exploring? You can tidy up with:
./clear.sh # Removes containers and imagesWe won’t spoil it.
No walkthroughs. No hints. Just you, your terminal, and a little bit of Docker.
If you make it to the end, something special is waiting for you.
Yes!! there’s a flag, but only if you earn it.
“You don’t run the container. You become the container.”
Every command gets you closer.
Think, explore, try, that’s all it takes.
The flag is yours to find. Good luck!
