🧩 Project Tasks

• Task 1: Docker Installation
• Task 2: Nginx Deployment
• Task 3: Custom Image, Volume, Network
• Task 4: Docker Compose

⚙️ Task 1: Docker Installation

✔️ Description

Docker was installed on Ubuntu and configured correctly.

🛠️ Commands Used

sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io -y
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
docker run hello-world

---

# ✅ 🔹 Add this for TASK 2

```markdown
## 🌐 Task 2: Nginx Deployment

### ✔️ Description
A web server was deployed using an Nginx container.

### 🛠️ Commands Used
```bash
docker pull nginx
docker run -d -p 8080:80 nginx
docker ps
# 🧩 Task 3 — Docker Advanced Concepts

## 🎯 Objective
Master Docker image creation, volumes, and networking.

---

## 🟦 Part A — Custom Image
- Created Dockerfile
- Built custom Nginx image
- Ran container with custom HTML page

---

## 🟩 Part B — Volumes (Persistence)

### Verification
- Docker volume created: task3-volume
- Mounted inside container at /data
- Data stored inside container
- Data persisted after container restart

### Internal storage location
/var/lib/docker/volumes/task3-volume/_data

### Result
Persistence successfully verified ✔

---

## 🟨 Part C — Networking

### Steps
- Created Docker network: task3-network
- Ran MySQL container in network
- Ran Nginx container in same network
- Verified communication using ping

### Result
Containers successfully communicated inside Docker network ✔

---

## 🧠 Key Concepts Learned
- Docker images
- Docker volumes (data persistence)
- Docker networking (container communication)
- DNS inside Docker
## 🧩 Task 4 — Docker Compose

### Objective
Deploy multi-container application using Docker Compose.

### Services
- Nginx (web server)
- MySQL (database)

### Features
- Automatic container creation
- Shared network
- Persistent storage using volumes

### Commands used
- docker compose up -d
- docker compose down
- docker ps

### Result
Application successfully deployed with multiple containers ✔
## 🎓 Final Conclusion

This project demonstrates full Docker fundamentals:

✔ Container creation and management  
✔ Custom Docker images  
✔ Data persistence using volumes  
✔ Container networking  
✔ Multi-container orchestration using Docker Compose  

## 🏁 Result
A complete Docker-based environment was successfully built and tested.
