This page will document Docker concepts, commands, images, volumes, networks, and lessons from running services locally.

Containers help turn a working setup into something easier to rebuild, explain, and hand to another engineer.
What I'm Learning
Images, containers, ports, volumes, compose files, logs, and the difference between a demo and an operable service.
What I Built / Am Building
Small container exercises and notes for future platform and observability services.
Screenshots / Evidence
Planned evidence for compose files, running container output, diagrams, and troubleshooting notes.
Matt's Notes
Containers make assumptions visible.
When a service runs in a container, the missing pieces show up quickly. That makes Docker a useful learning tool as much as a deployment tool.
