Creating Images Using a Dockerfile
You’ve decided to Dockerize your weather-app. Before you can do this, you'll need to create an image for it. And you'll want to keep the image small, so you will create it using a multi-stage build. Using instructions in a Dockerfile, build the image, then test it by creating a container that uses it.

Challenge
Build the image
Use Git commit hash as the image tag:
cd src git log -1 --pretty=%H cd ../
Build the image:
sudo docker image build -t linuxacademy/weather-app:[HASH] --build-arg APP_VERSION=2.0 .

Challenge
Deploy a test container using the image just created
Create the weather-app container:
sudo docker container run -d --name weather-app -p 8080:3000 linuxacademy/weather-app:<HASH>
