Create Dockerfile to Build Application

Description:

Create a Dockerfile to automate the process of building the application within a Docker container. The Dockerfile should specify all necessary steps to install dependencies, build the application, and prepare it for execution in a containerized environment.

Requirements:

• Base Image: Select an appropriate base image for the application (e.g., Python, Node.js, Java, or a custom base image).
• Dependencies: Install any dependencies required for the application to run.
• Copy Application Code: Copy the application source code into the container.
• Build Application: Run necessary build steps (e.g., compilation, asset bundling, etc.).
• Expose Ports: Expose any required ports for the application (e.g., for a web service or API).
• Set Entrypoint: Specify the entry point or command to run the application when the container starts.
• Multi-stage Builds (if necessary): Use multi-stage builds if additional steps (such as testing or asset building) are required before the final build.
• Environment Variables: Set any necessary environment variables for configuration.
• Clean Up: Remove unnecessary files or dependencies to minimize the image size.

Acceptance Criteria:

• The Dockerfile successfully builds the application in a container.
• All required dependencies are installed and the application runs as expected.
• The container exposes the correct ports for interaction.
