This project contains a simple and practical example of a Dockerfile to help beginners learn how to use Docker.

• Docker installed on your OS. Docker Installation
• Basic knowledge of the Linux command line.

• FROM tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi:python3.9-slim: Use the official fastapi image as our base image. We're using the slim version to keep the image small.

• WORKDIR /app: Set the working directory in the container to /app.

• COPY requirements.txt .: Copy the requirements.txt file from the current directory to the container which is /app directory, because in the previous step we have used WORKDIR this directive makes /app directory and goes in it.

• RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt: Install the project dependencies using pip.

• COPY main.py .: Copy the rest of the application code to the container which is /app

• CMD ["uvicorn", "main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "80"]: Set the command to start the application.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/devopshobbies/docker-templates.git

2. Build the Docker image:

   cd docker-templates/13-FastApi
   docker build -t hello-fastapi .

3. Run the Docker container:

   docker container run --detach --publish 80:80 hello-fastapi

   -d,--detach      Run container in background and print container ID
   -p, --publish list    Publish a container's port(s) to the host
