So, in this article we will try to understand what is docker, why it became so popular and how to use it.

Whenever a project is designed, there is always a problem statement that it addresses and tries to solve it or reduce the friction of that problem.

It was released in 2013 and is developed by Docker, Inc. Docker containers are not normal containers, they are social containers i.e. we can share them over a platform called docker hub, it can be thought of as a social networking platform for developers where they can put or from where they can pull the containers.

Using that docker file, we follow the instructions mentioned in it and create a program, which is our docker file. Then we run that program and it becomes a process which is in our case, a Docker container.
