Suggested Topics

• What a Docker image is: a snapshot of your application and its dependencies
• What a Docker container is: a running instance of an image
• Writing a Dockerfile: FROM, COPY, RUN, CMD instructions
• Choosing a base image: python:3.x-slim vs full images
• Building an image: docker build -t my-app .
• Running a container: docker run, port mapping, volume mounts
• The .dockerignore file: excluding unnecessary files from the image
• Multi-stage builds: keeping images small by separating build and runtime
• Inspecting containers: docker logs, docker exec, docker ps
• Tagging and versioning images for deployment
