Mage2Docker

Mage2Docker is a tool that helps developers build, test, and deploy Magento applications using Docker containers. It provides a consistent and efficient environment for Magento development, which can be used across different teams and projects.

Glossary

• Docker: A platform that allows developers to develop, ship, and run applications using containerization technology. It provides an isolated environment for running applications, which helps ensure consistency and reproducibility across different environments.

• Dockerfile: A text file that contains instructions for building a Docker image. The Dockerfile specifies the base image, dependencies, and configurations required to run an application.

• Image: A lightweight, standalone, and executable package that contains all the necessary dependencies and configurations to run an application. Docker images are built from Dockerfiles and can be shared across different environments.

• Container: A running instance of a Docker image. Containers provide an isolated environment for running applications, which helps ensure consistency and reproducibility across different environments.

• Compose file: A YAML file that defines how multiple Docker containers should be run together as a single application. The Compose file specifies the services, networks, and volumes required to run the application.

• Magento: An open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP. Magento provides a flexible and customizable platform for building online stores.
