The Container Image
Let's create a Docker image for our todo application. We start by creating a Dockerfile. Use the following command to create the file:
cat << EOF > $HOME/todo/app/Dockerfile
# Use an official Python runtime as a parent image
FROM python:3.12-slim
# Set the working directory to /app
WORKDIR /app
# Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app
COPY . /app
# Install any needed packages specified in requirements.txt
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
# Make port 5000 available to the world outside this container
EXPOSE 5000
# Define environment variable
CMD ["python", "app.py"]
EOF
Create a .dockerignore file to exclude unnecessary files from the Docker build context:
cat << EOF > $HOME/todo/app/.dockerignore
.git
.gitignore
__pycache__
venv
tests
Dockerfile
EOF
Install Docker:
# Download the Docker installation script
curl -s https://get.docker.com | sh
Build the image using the following command:
