Master Docker Build Image from Dockerfile: A Medieval to Space Station Adventure

In the modern software landscape, containerization is no longer a luxury—it's a survival skill. But learning Docker shouldn't feel like reading a dry technical manual. At LabEx, we believe the best way to master technology is through immersive storytelling and hands-on practice. This learning path takes you from the absolute basics of image creation to complex data recovery missions, all within an interactive playground that bridges the gap between theory and real-world deployment.
