Packaging with Docker

Docker is an open-source platform designed to simplify and streamline the process of developing, deploying, and running applications in isolated environments known as containers. Containers package an application along with its dependencies, libraries, and configuration files, ensuring it runs consistently across various computing environments. This approach solves the classic “it works on my machine” problem, as containers operate independently of the host system. Docker containers are lightweight, efficient, and easily scalable, making them ideal for both development and production environments. With Docker, developers can quickly build, test, and deploy applications in a way that’s reliable, reproducible, and highly portable.

Instead of Python or Debian packages, InterDiode will be delivered as Docker containers with an example of compose.yaml file, making it easy to set up a functional platform with Redis and PostgreSQL databases.
