## Containerize an Application
1. Clone an open source project you would like to containerize. A couple of suggestions:
```
https://github.com/bregman-arie/node-hello-world
https://github.com/bregman-arie/flask-hello-world
```
`git clone https://github.com/bregman-arie/node-hello-world`
2. Write a Dockerfile you'll use for building an image of the application (you can use any base image you would like)
```
FROM alpine
LABEL maintainer="your name/email"
RUN apk add --update nodejs npm
COPY . /src
WORKDIR /src
RUN npm install
EXPOSE 3000
ENTRYPOINT ["node", "./app.js"]
```
3. Build an image using the Dockerfile you've just wrote
`docker image build -t web_app:latest .`
4. Verify the image exists
`docker image ls`
5. [Optional] Push the image you've just built to a registry
```
docker login
docker image tag web_app:latest <your username>/web_app:latest
# Verify with "docker image ls"
docker image push <your username>/web_app:latest
```
6. Run the application
```
docker container run -d -p 80:3000 web_app:latest
```
7. Verify the app is running
```
docker container ls
docker logs <container ID/name>
# In the browser, go to 127.0.0.1:80
```
