Please note that this project requires Docker to be run in its current state.
Docker is a software container platform. A Docker image contains information on everything required to make an app run. This self-contained system makes it extremely easy to ensure that your app runs on any OS without worrying about the dependency compatibility.
Regardless of where it’s deployed, your app will always run the same as long as Docker is installed on the machine.
