Containerizing and Orchestrating of TaskZen
Containerizing and Orchestrating a Full-Stack Task Management Application (TaskZen) with Docker and Docker Compose. Introduction This document provides a detailed, step-by-step account of containerizing a modern, full-stack web application, "TaskZen." The application consists of a Python-based FastAPI backend and a React.js frontend. The primary goal of this exercise is to encapsulate each service into a portable, isolated Docker container, orchestrate their deployment using Docker Compose, and finally, publish the resulting images to a public container registry (Docker Hub). This process demonstrates a fundamental DevOps workflow for ensuring consistency, scalability, and ease of deployment across different environments. Objectives of Part 1: The primary objective of Part 1 is to achieve standalone containerization for the frontend and backend services. This involves: Creating a dedicated Dockerfile for the Python FastAPI backend to ...
