Run Your First Container

Start nginx in a container and publish it on a port.

A beginner Docker challenge worth 3 points. Solve it hands-on in a real Docker environment in your browser - no local setup, no fake shells.

The Challenge

Scenario: Your team just adopted Docker. First job: get nginx running in a container and reachable from the outside.

The nginx:alpine image is already available locally.

Tasks:

• Run it detached, named web
• Publish host port 8080 → container port 80
• Open the browser panel — you should see the nginx welcome page

Commands to learn: docker run -d --name -p, docker ps, docker port

Run check when done.
