Running the cart service using Docker

Let's learn how to run the previously implemented cart service using Docker. As we described in the previous chapter, we are going to define the docker-compose.yml file and the Dockerfile in the root of the cart service project. The docker-compose file will define two containers: the first hosts the cart service ASP.NET Core instance, while the other represents the Redis instance:

version: "3.7"
services:
    cart_api:
        container_name: cart_api
        build:
            context: .
        env_file:
            - .env
        networks:
            - my_network
        ports:
            - 5002:5002
        depends_on:
            - cart_db
        
    cart_db:
        container_name: cart_db
        networks:
            - my_network
        env_file:
            - .env
        ports:
            - 6378:6378
        image: redis:alpine
