Challenge
Create, Run, and Test a Dockerized Application
To start, you will create and manage a Docker container. You will begin with a base image, copy application files, build a Docker image with a Dockerfile, and run it in a container with port mapping. Afterward, you’ll test the application by accessing it through HTTP, ensuring proper functionality. The challenge will also cover stopping and removing containers once testing is complete.
