This repository contains the necessary files to build and manage Docker images, including a Dockerfile and documentation (Docker_documents), which guide the Docker containerization process.
The Dockerfile is used to automate the process of building Docker images. It defines the base image, dependencies, configurations, and commands needed to set up and run your application inside a Docker container.
- Base Image: Specifies the base image for the container.
- Installation of Dependencies: Lists the commands to install the necessary dependencies.
- Copying Files: Describes how files from the local environment are copied into the Docker container.
- Expose Ports: Indicates the ports that need to be exposed for communication.
- Run Commands: Lists any startup or configuration commands to run inside the container.
The Docker_documents file provides detailed documentation for the Dockerfile and containerization setup. This includes the purpose of each step in the Dockerfile, explanations of commands used, and additional notes on Docker image management and optimization techniques.

Dockerfile - Instructions on running the Docker container
- Details on port mappings, environment variables, and volume setups
- Tips for debugging Docker issues and best practices
To build the Docker image from the Dockerfile, navigate to the directory containing the Dockerfile and run the following command:
docker build -t <your_image_name> .After building the image, you can run the Docker container with:
docker run -p <host_port>:<container_port> <your_image_name>Refer to Docker_documents for detailed explanations of the commands and steps used in the Dockerfile. It will also provide troubleshooting tips and advanced configuration options.
