Hello World Python Docker Image

Description: This Docker repository contains a basic "Hello World" Python application packaged into a Docker image. It demonstrates a simple setup to run a Python script within a Docker container.

Repository Structure:

1. Dockerfile: This file defines the steps to build the Docker image. It includes instructions to set up the environment, copy the Python script, and specify the command to run when the container starts.

   FROM python:3.9-slim
   
   # Set working directory
   WORKDIR /app
   
   # Copy the Python script into the container
   COPY hello.py .
   
   # Define the command to run the script
   CMD ["python", "hello.py"]
   

   Copy

2. hello.py: This is a simple Python script that prints "Hello, World!" to the console.

   # hello.py
   print("Hello, World!")
   

   Copy

Usage:

1. Building the Docker Image:

   • Navigate to the directory containing the Dockerfile and hello.py.
   • Run the following command to build the Docker image:

     docker build -t hello-python .
     

     Copy

2. Running the Docker Container:

   • After the image is built, you can run a container based on this image using:

     docker run hello-python
     

     Copy

Additional Notes:

• This repository serves as a minimal example to demonstrate Dockerizing a Python application.
• You can extend this setup by adding more complex Python scripts or incorporating additional dependencies into the Docker image.
