## 📋 Project Overview

This project demonstrates my expertise in orchestrating multi-container applications using Docker Compose. Through hands-on implementation, I've created a practical example that showcases the power of container orchestration, focusing on the seamless integration of Nginx and Redis services.

## 🎯 Key Objectives

- Master Docker Compose for multi-container application management
- Implement microservices architecture using industry-standard containers
- Configure and manage service interconnections and networking
- Deploy scalable container solutions with proper port mapping
- Establish efficient container orchestration workflows

## 🏗️ Project Architecture

The project implements a microservices architecture with two main services:

## 💻 Technical Stack

- **Container Orchestration**: Docker Compose v3.8
- **Web Server**: Nginx Alpine
- **Cache Service**: Redis Alpine
- **Network**: Built-in Docker Compose networking
- **Configuration**: YAML-based service definitions

## 🚀 Getting Started

🐳 Prerequisites

- Docker Engine 20.10.0+
- Docker Compose v2.0.0+
- Basic understanding of YAML configuration
- Terminal access (bash/zsh)

⚙️ Installation

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/TheToriqul/docker-compose-intro.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd docker-compose-intro
```
3. Review the docker-compose.yml configuration:
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
web:
image: nginx:alpine
ports:
- "80:80"
redis:
image: redis:alpine
```

🎮 Usage

1. Start the services:
```bash
docker-compose up --build -d
```
2. Verify deployment:
```bash
docker-compose ps
```
3. Access the Nginx service:
```bash
curl localhost
```
4. Stop and clean up:
```bash
docker-compose down
```
