## 📋 Project Overview

ContainerCraft is my advanced implementation showcasing the art of containerizing Node.js applications using Docker. This project demonstrates my expertise in creating efficient, secure, and production-ready containerized applications. Through this hands-on development, I've mastered crucial DevOps practices and modern containerization techniques that ensure seamless deployment across any environment.

## 🎯 Key Objectives

- Master production-grade containerization techniques for Node.js applications
- Implement advanced Docker optimization strategies including layer caching and multi-stage builds
- Establish robust security protocols through proper container configuration
- Design efficient networking and port mapping solutions
- Create scalable and maintainable container management workflows

## 🏗️ Project Architecture
The project implements a containerized Node.js HTTP server using Docker, where the application runs inside a container built on the lightweight node:14-alpine base image. The container exposes port 8080 internally which is mapped to port 80 on the host system, while the Docker image layers efficiently organize the base image, application code (app.js), and required Node.js dependencies for consistent deployment across any environment.

## 🚀 Getting Started

🐳 Prerequisites

- Docker Engine (latest version)
- Node.js (for local development)
- Git for version control
- Docker Hub account (optional)

⚙️ Installation

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/TheToriqul/single-container-app.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd single-container-app
```
3. Build the Docker image:
```bash
docker build -t my-node-app:1.0 .
```

🎮 Usage

1. Run the container:
```bash
docker run -d --name my-node-app-container -p 80:8080 my-node-app:1.0
```
2. Access the application:
```bash
curl http://localhost:80
```
