🐳 Exercise 1: Docker Implementation

▼
Objective: Create a Dockerfile for a Node.js application without database dependencies and publish to Docker Hub for public access.

📋 Requirements:

  • Create optimized Dockerfile for Node.js application
  • Build and test Docker image locally
  • Publish image to Docker Hub public registry
  • Provide public Docker Hub link for trainer access
  • Ensure application runs without database dependencies

🐳 Public Docker Hub Access

The Docker image has been published to Docker Hub for easy access. Use the links below to pull and run the application:

  • Pull Command: Downloads the image to your local machine (docker pull tatoslover/module10lab)
  • Run Command: Starts the container on port 3000 (docker run -p 3000:3000 tatoslover/module10lab)
  • Access: Visit http://localhost:3000 to use the application

⚙️ Exercise 2: GitHub Actions CI/CD Pipeline

▼
Objective: Create GitHub Actions workflow that automatically builds and pushes Docker images to Docker Hub when commits are made.

📋 Requirements:

  • Create GitHub Actions workflow file
  • Automate Docker image building on push
  • Integrate with Docker Hub for automatic publishing
  • Include testing and validation steps
  • Secure credential management with GitHub Secrets
🔄 GitHub Actions Workflow (.github/workflows/ci-cd.yml)

☁️ Exercise 3: AWS EC2 Setup & Docker Deployment

▼
Objective: Create and configure an AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance using free tier resources and deploy the Docker application to make it publicly accessible.

📋 Requirements:

  • Create EC2 instance using free tier (t2.micro)
  • Configure Ubuntu 22.04 LTS operating system
  • Set up security groups and access controls
  • Configure SSH access and key management
  • Install Docker and necessary dependencies
  • Pull Docker image from Docker Hub to EC2 instance
  • Configure Docker container to run on EC2
  • Set up port forwarding and security group rules
  • Test application accessibility from public internet
  • Share public URL with trainer for verification

🎯 EC2 & Docker Deployment Achievements

  • Free Tier: Cost-effective t2.micro instance
  • Security: Properly configured security groups
  • Docker Ready: Container runtime installed
