Adding a Dockerfile

Issue Report

Add Dockerfile to the Project for Containerization

Description

We need to add a Dockerfile to containerize our project, which consists of a React frontend with JavaScript and a Node.js backend with JavaScript. The Dockerfile will allow us to package the application in a container, making it easier to deploy and run in any environment. Both the frontend and backend should be built and run inside the container, with ports exposed for proper communication.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

To assist us in understanding and resolving the issue, please outline the steps you took that led to the problem:

1. Action 1: Create a Dockerfile in the root of the project.
2. Action 2: Configure the Dockerfile
3. Action 3: Build the Docker image using docker build -t my-fullstack-app

Feel free to be as detailed as necessary so we can replicate the issue accurately.

Expected Behavior

Describe what you expected to happen when following the steps above.

Actual Behavior

The Docker image should build successfully, and the application (frontend and backend) should run within the container. Accessing localhost:3000 should load the frontend, and localhost:5000 should load the backend.

Screenshots (if applicable)

If applicable, please attach any relevant screenshots or visual aids that help illustrate the issue.

Additional Context

Currently, there is no Dockerfile, so the project cannot be containerized or run in a consistent environment across different machines.
