# 🌍 Terraform Docker Container Provisioning

This project demonstrates how to use **Terraform** to provision and manage a **Docker container** locally using **Infrastructure as Code (IaC)** principles.

---

## 🚀 Objective

Provision a Docker container using Terraform on your local machine.

---

## 🛠️ Tools & Tech Stack

- **Terraform** – IaC tool for automating infrastructure

- **Docker** – Containerization platform

- **Local system** (Linux/macOS/Windows with Docker & Terraform installed)

---

## 📁 Project Structure

## 🔧 Prerequisites

- [Terraform Installed](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/downloads)

- [Docker Installed & Running](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)

- Docker daemon must be running locally

## 🚀 How to Run

### ✅ Initialize Terraform

```bash

terraform init

```

![init Screenshot](images/init.png)

### 🔍 Validate Configuration

```bash

terraform validate

```

Checks the syntax and structure of your Terraform configuration files.

🔍 Check What Will Be Created

```bash

terraform plan

```

Previews the infrastructure that Terraform will create or modify.

⚙️ Apply & Provision Infrastructure

```bash

terraform apply

```

Applies the Terraform configuration to create the container. Confirm with yes when prompted.

⚙️ State List

```bash

terraform state list

```

🌐 Access the App

After provisioning is complete, you can access the app from your browser at:

```bash

http://localhost:3000

```

This is a running nginx container exposed on port 8080.

🧼 Destroy Infrastructure

```bash

terraform destroy

```

![destroy Screenshot](images/destroy.png)

Tears down the container and cleans up resources. Confirm with yes when prompted.
