Day-02 - Dockerizing a Simple Application:


1. Setup / Prerequisites:
Docker Desktop (local) or Play with Docker (cloud-based)
Prepared environment to build and run containers

2. Cloning the Application Repository:
Fetched the sample application code from GitHub:
git clone https://lnkd.in/diHWv-f2

3. Understanding the Dockerfile:
Layers: Base Image → Working Directory → Copy Files → Install Dependencies → Expose Port → CMD Run
Each instruction builds a layered image, improving efficiency and portability

4. Building the Docker Image:
Command: docker build -t getting-started-app .
Creates a portable image containing the application and all dependencies

5. Pushing the Image to Docker Hub:
Tagged and pushed the image to Docker Hub for sharing and reuse
Enables “build once, run anywhere” approach

6. Running and Troubleshooting the Container:
Run: docker run -p 3000:3000 YOUR_USERNAME/getting-started-app
Inspect and debug using: docker exec -it <container-id> sh
Ensures the application runs consistently in any environment

Key Takeaway:
Docker makes containerization simple, allowing developers to package, ship, and run applications efficiently while ensuring environment consistency.

Environment VMware vRealize Automation 8.x Cause This issue has been identified where the problem appears when a single column Multi Value Picker or Data Grid is used. Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.
