GitLab Alpine Hello-World

This repository contains the necessary configuration and code to deploy an alpine-based docker application on Heroku using CI/CD pipeline. This project originally came from my GitLab but I migrated it to GitHub and converted the .gitlab.ci to GitHub Actions.

• The project repository cloned to your local machine.

2. Building the Docker Image

• Build the Docker image using the provided Dockerfile with the following command : docker build -t hello-world .

3. Running the Docker Container:

• Once the image is built, you can run the Docker container locally with : docker run -p 80:5000 hello-world

4. Accessing the Website

• Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost.
• You should see your static website running locally.
