Setup Docker

The next step involve Containerisation. Docker is considered the standard in this field, and having a working install on your local computer will be required for this week.

Install Docker on your computer

This is a requirement. The official website has decent documentation on how to do so. It will push “Docker Desktop” if you’re on a Mac, and “Docker CLI” on Linux. Both are ok for us, we need the underlying program and CLI.

Go over the Docker 101 tutorial

https://www.docker.com/101-tutorial/ is a interesting tutorial from the official website to get yourself familiar with Docker. Go through it. Note that the whole tutorial runs on a Docker container locally - don’t stop at installing Docker and running the container!
