+# Docker Container Setup - Documentation
+
+This is the documentation on how to containerize and run the Recodehive website while using Docker.
+
+## Prerequesites
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) installed
+- Docker compose installed (Optional)
+
+## Steps
+### 1. Create a `Dockerfile` in the root directory
+This is a text document that contains all the commands needs to build a Docker image. Basically a blue print of a docker image.
+
+Key instructions include <br>
+- `FROM <base_image>:<tag>` : The first instruction and specifies the base image to build upon.
+- `WORKDIR <path>` : Sets the working directory inside the container for subsequent instructions.
+- `COPY <source> <destination>` : This instruction copies files or directories from your local machine (the build context) into the Docker image.
+- `RUN <command>` : Executes commands during the image build process. This is used for installing dependencies, updating packages etc.
+- `EXPOSE <port>` : Informs docker that the container listens on the specified ports at runtime.
+
+### 2. Build the Docker Image
+```bash
+docker build -t recodehive-app .
+```
+This command builds the Docker image using the instructions in the Dockerfile and tags it as recodehive-app.
+### 3. Run the Container
+```bash
+docker run -p 3000:3000 recodehive-app
+```
+This runs the container and maps port 3000 from the container to your local machine. <br>
