Docker

Docker is a tool using containers and images to run programs in isolated environments.

Basic usage

To create a single container and run it on a localhost port:

1. Create Dockerfile in the app directory
   1. Define starting image
   2. Set working directory and copy the program
   3. Install dependencies
   4. Run program
2. Build the container image docker build -t <tag> .
3. Run the image docker run -d -p <host_port>:<container_port> <tag>, the -d switch detaches the console
