I asked Bing Chat to generate a beginner-friendly project using Docker and node.js. This repository is the result of me following Bing Chat's instructions and fixing any issues I encountered along the way.

Issues:

1. I could tell the version of node.js specified by Bing was not current. I chose not to use the generated Dockerfile and generated one myself using this method which runs docker init.
2. Running docker compose up --build produced this error: failed to solve: node:20.11.0-alpine: docker.io/library/node:20.11.0-alpine: not found. The Dockerfile that was generated required node-alpine which is a smaller version of node. I modified the FROM statement in the Dockerfile to use the regular version of node. However, that didn't work either. I then ran docker pull node, then tried to build again and the app was built successfully.
3. Initially, I could not push my docker image to the docker hub. This was due to a combination of:

• Not tagging the image correctly
• Not creating a repository for my image on hub.docker.com
• Not logging in to docker hub from my terminal. This link solved a lot of my issues

4. nginx was not required to get the app running since express used it's own web server.

Summary: This was my first docker project where I was exposed to every stage of the SDLC up to Deployment. It took about a day from idea to deployment. Please feel free to audit my code and provide feedback. The link to the image on Dockerhub is here.
