Welcome to the Docker-Tutorial wiki!

Training Overview

In this training, we’ll go over what Docker is and why we would use it. We’ll explain Dockerfiles, images, and containers, then use a simple Python program for our hands-on example. Everyone will build an image, run it in Docker Desktop, and check the logs for the message. This is for beginners, so you don’t need to have used Docker before.
