Dockerized File Search & Upload System

?? One Step Towards My DevOps Journey: ?Dockerized File Search & Upload System??

?? A few weeks ago, I embarked on a mission to explore Docker, and I’m thrilled to share my progress. Today, I’ve successfully containerized my File Search & Upload System using Binary Search Tree(DSA+Dev)!

What is Docker, and why is it amazing?

Docker is a game-changer in modern software development. It allows you to:

? Package applications (frontend, backend, and dependencies) into lightweight, portable containers.

? Ensure apps run consistently across any environment.

? Eliminate the age-old “it works on my machine” dilemma!

What I Built:

I developed and containerized my File Search & Upload System, a full-stack application using:

?? Next.js for the frontend—leveraging the power of server-side rendering and optimized builds.

?? Node.js for the backend.

Both the frontend and backend are now encapsulated in separate Docker containers, making the system highly portable and deployment-ready!

Challenges I Faced (and Overcame!):

- Multi-service containerization: Managing communication between multiple containers (frontend and backend) was a learning curve.

- Image push issues: Encountered errors while pushing images to Docker Hub due to missing tags and configuration mismatches.

- Docker Compose and networking: Understanding container networks and volumes took effort but was incredibly rewarding.

The Result

My app is now fully containerized! You can check out the Docker images on Docker Hub:

Why This is Super Exciting:

Docker doesn’t just simplify app deployment—it redefines workflows. Here’s what I gained from this experience:

Seamless deployments across environments.

Simplified testing with isolated environments.

A solid foundation for scaling with tools like Kubernetes.

This experience has been a blend of challenges and triumphs, and it has ignited my curiosity to explore Kubernetes next! ??
