Flipkart Clone – Dockerfile Practice Project 🐳

This project focuses on Dockerfile creation and containerization using a static Flipkart-style web application.
It is built specifically for Cloud / DevOps engineers to practice Docker fundamentals.

---

🎯 Project Purpose

The main goal of this project is to:

• Practice writing a Dockerfile
• Build a custom Docker image
• Run a containerized static web application
• Understand Docker concepts used in real-world DevOps environments

Frontend code is used only as sample content for Docker practice.

---

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Docker
• Dockerfile
• Nginx (web server inside container)
• HTML / CSS / JavaScript (static files)
• Git & GitHub

🐳 Dockerfile Explanation

The Dockerfile performs the following steps:

• Uses an official lightweight Nginx base image
• Copies static website files into the Nginx web directory
• Exposes port 80 for HTTP traffic
• Runs Nginx in the foreground to serve the application

This setup reflects how static websites are commonly deployed in containers.
