What is docker?

Docker is a tool that helps you create, manage, and run applications in a special, isolated environment called a container. Containers are like lightweight, portable, and self-contained shared host os kernal that have everything your application needs to run, such as the code, libraries, dependencies, and system tools, all packed together.

Different files within Repo and what do they do?

Dockerfile

• Is the instructions to build images.

• docker build . -t name_of_docker_build

• docker build here with the name(-t) of name_of_docker_build

• docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash name_of_docker_build

• docker run remove after exit, iteractive entrypoint bash name_of_container

requirements.txt

• A list of packages you want to use in your project.

pyproject.toml

• Allows you to use the folder name to run the project.

Mounting your local directory
