Setting Up the Docker Environment for Training

To set up the Docker environment for use during the training, follow these steps:

1. First, download or clone the project files from the GitHub repository. This will give you access to the main directory of the project containing the training materials.

2. Open a terminal or command prompt.

3. Use the following command to navigate to the directory corresponding to the relevant training week. For example, to navigate to the "00_playground" directory:

   cd 00_playground

4. Use the following commands to initiate the Docker infrastructure and create containers:

docker-compose up -d --build

These commands use Docker Compose to start the Docker containers used in the training and rebuild them if necessary. The "-d" flag runs the containers in the background, while the "--build" flag rebuilds the containers using the Dockerfiles.

Once you've completed these steps, the Docker environment for the training will be set up, and participants can use Docker containers to run the training materials.
