[TASK] Set up Dockerfile and CI/CD Pipeline for Automatic Build

[kluge7]

Description of task

This task involves setting up a Dockerfile for containerizing the application and integrating a CI/CD pipeline to automatically build and test the Docker image. The goal is to ensure that every change to the repository triggers the pipeline, which will verify that the Docker image can be successfully built.

Suggested Workflow

• Create a Dockerfile:
• Build a Dockerfile that defines the environment and dependencies for the application.
• The Dockerfile should be configured to build the application, install required dependencies, and define any specific configuration required for runtime.
• Set up Docker Ignore:
• Create a .dockerignore file to exclude unnecessary files (e.g., node_modules, .git, etc.) from the Docker image, to keep the image lightweight and secure.
• Set up CI/CD Pipeline:
• Integrate a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or any other CI/CD platform you are using.
• The pipeline should be configured to automatically trigger on every push, pull request, or merge to the main branch.
• Configure the Pipeline:
• Define a build step that pulls the Dockerfile and builds the Docker image.
• Add a step that ensures the image is built successfully and reports any build failures.

I am planning to research and implement multi-stage builds for our Dockerfile. This will help optimize the image by separating the build environment from the runtime environment, reducing the final image size and improving build efficiency
