How to create a dockerfile.
To create a new Dockerfile, follow these steps:
- Open a text editor of your choice (such as Nano, Vim, or Sublime Text).
- Create a new file and save it as "Dockerfile" in your project directory.
- Copy and paste the contents of the Dockerfile template into the new file.
- Customize the Dockerfile for your specific application by modifying the base image, installing required dependencies, copying application files, exposing ports, and defining the command to run.
- Save the Dockerfile
