Exposing ports with Dockerfiles

So many options

Mapping a container port

FROM python:3.12-alpine3.19
ENTRYPOINT ["python"]

# Modify to allow automatic port mapping
____
CMD ["-mhttp.server"]


FROM python:3.12-alpine3.19
ENTRYPOINT ["python"]

# Modify to allow automatic port mapping
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["-mhttp.server"]


- Modify the Dockerfile as shown
- Run:
    docker build . -t qaserver
- Run:
    docker run -d -P qaserver
- Run:
    docker ps (or docker ps -a)
  To verify the ports being mapped.

This course builds upon the foundations of learning Docker and containerization found in the Introduction to Docker course. We extend the concepts and tools covered in that course, adding the ideas of container image management and optimization, networking, file system communication, multi-platform and multi-container applications. When completed, you'll be able to:

- Create multi-stage builds to optimize the size, security, and reusability of containerized applications.
- Use Docker networking tools and concepts to add inter-container communications and provide networking services to the local network and the outside world.
- Share files and data between containers and the host machine using Docker file system mounts and volumes.
- Create mutli-container application deployments using Docker Compose, drastically simplifying the setup of complex tools common in data science and engineering environments.

You'll gain the most from this course if you have worked with and built some simple containers, but are looking to add to your development, testing, and distribution toolbox. We look forward to helping guide you during your journey of learning Docker.

This course expands on the knowledge gained from the Introduction to Docker course, delving deeper into containerization concepts and tools. We'll explore advanced topics such as container image management, networking, file system communication, and the development of multi-platform and multi-container applications.
<h2>Optimizing Containerized Applications</h2>
Learn to create multi-stage builds to enhance the size, security, and reusability of containerized applications. Through practical exercises, master techniques for optimizing container images, ensuring efficient deployment and management in diverse environments.
<h2>Enhancing Container Deployments with Docker Compose</h2>
Discover how to leverage Docker networking tools and concepts to facilitate inter-container communication and provide networking services to both local and external networks. Explore file system mounts and volumes for seamless data sharing between containers and the host machine. Additionally, gain proficiency in Docker Compose for orchestrating multi-container application deployments, simplifying the setup of complex tools prevalent in data science and engineering environments.
<h2>Empowering Development and Deployment</h2>
This course equips you with essential skills to enhance your development, testing, and distribution processes. While not essential, you will gain the most from this course if you have worked with and built some simple containers. By the course's end, you'll have the knowledge and tools to optimize containerized applications, streamline communication between containers, and deploy multi-container applications with ease, empowering you on your Docker learning journey.
