[Feature Request]: Integrating Docker into the project

[Ratangulati]

Description

Docker is a must for open-source projects nowadays as it has its benefits.

Use Case

Use Case
Dockerfile has many benefits but consistency and isolation stand out the most.

Docker allows you to package your entire application, including its dependencies, into a single container. That makes sure your application will run across different environments.
another benefit is that it runs in its environment without interfering with other applications or the host system.

Description
Docker has become essential for open-source projects, offering numerous benefits that enhance the development and deployment processes.

Use Case
Among the many advantages of using Docker, consistency and isolation stand out as critical factors.

Consistency: Docker enables you to package your entire application, including all dependencies, into a single container. This ensures that your application runs uniformly across different environments, whether it's development, testing, or production. As a result, developers can avoid the "it works on my machine" problem, leading to more reliable deployments.

Isolation: Docker containers operate in their isolated environments, preventing them from interfering with other applications or the host system. This isolation enhances security and stability, as different applications can run without dependency conflicts or resource competition.

Proposed Solution
Implementing Docker for the Wanderlust project will facilitate a seamless development workflow and ensure consistent application behavior across various stages of deployment.

Dockerfile Creation: Create Dockerfiles for both the backend and frontend to encapsulate their environments.

Docker Compose: Utilize Docker Compose to define and manage multi-container applications, enabling straightforward orchestration of services such as the backend, frontend, and database.

Environment Variables: Configure necessary environment variables to ensure the application functions correctly in different environments.

Volume Mapping: Incorporate volume mapping in Docker Compose for easier development and real-time updates without rebuilding containers.
