About this project

What you'll build: You'll take a simple web app (like a "hello world" page) and learn how to package it into a Docker container, so it can run anywhere. This project is all about turning a regular app into a portable one!

Why it's a good starter: Docker is a core DevOps skill, but this project keeps things simple. You'll use friendly tools and step-by-step instructions - no complex code or confusing commands. Perfect for beginners!

What you'll learn: You'll understand how containers work, how to write a Dockerfile, and how to run your app inside Docker. By the end, you'll know how to share your app with others and start exploring DevOps basics.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a short plan (1 page) explaining your chosen web app (e.g. Flask Hello World), your approach, and screenshots showing Docker installed and working. This milestone confirms you've prepared your environment and understand the project goal.

2. Build: Create Your Web App

30 marks 8d

Submit your basic web app files (e.g. app.py or index.js/html) and a screenshot showing it running locally. This milestone demonstrates you can create and run a simple web app outside Docker.

3. Build: Dockerise Your App

35 marks 12d

Submit your Dockerfile and a screenshot of your app running inside a Docker container. This milestone proves you've successfully containerised your web app and can run it with Docker.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 14d

Submit a brief checklist and screenshots showing you tested your container (e.g. tried different ports, checked for errors). Also include any improvements (like simple README). This milestone shows you've checked your work and made it user-friendly.

5. Demo & Short Report

10 marks 14d

Submit a short (1-2 page) report explaining what you did, what you learned, and any challenges. Also provide a demo video or screenshots showing your containerised app running. This milestone is your final showcase.
