30-Day Cloud & DevOps Challenge: Day 5 — Dockerizing My Backend (First Steps into Containers)

1. 1Install Docker on your machine using the official installation guide
2. 2Create a Dockerfile for your backend application to define the build process
3. 3Build a Docker image from the Dockerfile using the docker build command
4. 4Run the Docker container using the docker run command to test the application
5. 5Configure the container to connect to a PostgreSQL database using environment variables or a docker-compose file

Developers and DevOps engineers can benefit from this challenge to enhance their containerization skills and streamline application deployment
