🐳📦 What is Dockerfile??
A Dockerfile is a text file that contains a set of instructions for building a Docker image.
It selects the base image, sets up the environment, installs dependencies, and explains how the application should run within a Docker container.
🐍🐳Creating a Docker Image for a Simple Python Web Application:
🐾Step 1: Create a Dockerfile for a simple web application (e.g. a Python app)
# Get a base image with python 3.7
FROM python:3.8-slim
# Set the workding directory to /app
WORKDIR /app
# Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app
COPY . .
# Install all the required dependencies specified in requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
# Make port 80 available to the world outside this container
EXPOSE 80
# Run the python app
CMD ["python","app.py"]
🐾Step 2: Build the image using the Dockerfile, and execute the following command in the same directory as the Dockerfile
docker build . -t python:latest
🐾Step 3: Run the container
docker run -d -p 80:80 python:latest
🐾Step 4: Verify that the application works as expected by accessing it in a web browser at http://localhost:80
🐾Step 5: Push the image to a public or private repository (e.g. Docker Hub)
docker push <image:tag-name>
Note:
- Make sure you're logged into Docker Hub before using the docker push command.
