Container

A container is a lightweight, standalone, executable package of software that includes everything needed to run an application: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, and settings

Overview

Docker

• Docker is a platform that enables developers to build, package, ship, and run applications in containers.
• It provides tools and a platform to manage containerized applications across different environments, from development to production.

Docker Compose

• Docker Compose is a tool provided by Docker that allows you to define and manage multi-container Docker applications.
• It uses a YAML file to configure the services, networks, and volumes required for your application

Configuration

Check the installed software

 docker --version 

 docker-compose --version 

Create a docker compose file to run the software on the container environment

• docker-compose.yml
