Containerize an application with Docker

Containerizing an application with Docker is a great way to package your software along with its dependencies, making it easy to deploy and run consistently across different environments.

OVERVIEW

This application was developed to provide detailed local forecasts and weather forecasts for the entire world, as well as the current temperatures in Celsius as well as sunrise and sunset times based on the time zone of the city.

HOW TO SETUP

Here's a step-by-step tutorial to help you containerize this application:

Step 1: Install Docker

If you haven't already, install Docker on your system. You can find installation instructions for various platforms on the Docker website: Install Docker

Step 2: Dockerfile

Create a Dockerfile in the root directory of the application. The Dockerfile contains instructions for building your Docker image.

# Base image
FROM httpd:2.4-alpine

# Copy the application files into the container
COPY . /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/

# Expose port 80
EXPOSE 80

Step 3: Build the Docker Image

Open a terminal, navigate to the directory containing your Dockerfile, and run the following command to build your Docker image:

docker build -t zeus .

Step 4: Run the Docker Container

Once the image is built, you can run a container based on that image using the following command:

docker run -d -p 80:80 zeus:latest

Step 5: Access Your Application

Once the container is running, you should be able to access your application through a web browser or any other client using the URL http://localhost.

Step 6: Manage Your Docker Container

You can manage your Docker container using various Docker commands such as docker stop, docker start, docker restart, etc. For example, to stop the container, you can run:

docker stop zeus
