Hey there, awesome #90daysofdevops community! Today's challenge is going to be super exciting because you get to dive into a DevOps project with Docker. Are you as thrilled as I am? ๐
Let's talk about Docker first. ๐ณ Docker is an incredible tool that simplifies running applications in containers. ๐ฆ These containers are like little packages that encapsulate everything an application needs to run smoothly.
To create these magical containers, developers use a special file called a Dockerfile. ๐ This file contains a series of instructions for building the container. It tells Docker which base image to use, what commands to execute, and which files to include. It's like a recipe for creating the perfect containerized application.
For instance, if you were making a container for a website, your Dockerfile might direct Docker to use an official web server image, copy all the website files into the container, and start the web server when the container is launched. ๐

Now, onto the task at hand! Your challenge is to:
Create a Dockerfile for a simple web application (like a Node.js or Python app).
Build the image using the Dockerfile and run the container.
Double-check that the application works flawlessly by accessing it in your web browser.
Finally, push the image to a public or private repository, such as Docker Hub. ๐ข
You've got this! Get ready to amaze yourself with your DevOps skills. Happy containerizing! ๐
