Docker (https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)

Steps to Build and Run the Dockerized FastAPI Application

Build the Docker Image Run the following command to build the Docker image from the Dockerfile in your project directory. This will create a Docker image named my-fastapi-app:

docker build -t my-fastapi-app .

Run the Docker Container Once the image is built, you can run the container and map it to port 8000 on your local machine. Use the following command:

docker run -p 8000:8000 my-fastapi-app

Explanation: - -p 8000:8000: Maps port 8000 on your local machine to port 8000 inside the Docker container, making the FastAPI app accessible at http://localhost:8000.

http://localhost:8000
