To ensure Docker can run on your computer, follow the instructions below. Here are some quick references:

• Amazing video about how to install Apache web server in Docker container
• Apache HTTP Server Project Documentation

Step 1: Download Ubuntu on Windows 11

Refer to this link to install Ubuntu.

Step 2: Download Docker Desktop

Step 3: Download Apache (Should be running in Ubuntu)

sudo apt install apache2

Step 4: Make sure you are on the right directory

Ensure your terminal starts with something like:

PS D:\CAT201\CAT201-Assignment-1\Apache>

Step 5: Run Apache in Docker

docker run -dit --name cat-201-apache-app -p 8081:80 -v ${PWD}:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ httpd:2.4

Note: I'm hosting it on port 8081, but feel free to change it to 8080:80.

Step 6: Build the Docker Image

docker build -t apache-image:1.0 .

I'm naming my image as apache-image with Tag 1.0.

Step 7: Run the Docker Image

docker run -dit --name apache-container -p 8081:80 apache-image:1.0
