Creating and running a simple image (without Docker compose)

Create the Dockerfile in the root of the project.

Then build the image from root.

docker build -t image-name .

The image name is defined at this point, not pre-defined.

If successful, run the image:

docker run --name your-container-name image-name

Again, the container-name is defined at the point of the run declaration.
