How to get the foot in the door.
It's always been the case, and nowadays even more, that a CS degree is irrelevant for employers. Get an interview, show you're interested in solving problems for the company and grow on the job.

To be honest, if I'm the interviewer and the person in front of me didn't understand the concept of virtualization (namely I think to Docker) then I'll just be afraid because not using such tools would be really weird to me.
In an interview, making it clear you're willing to learn. If you have example projects that you've built as part of a course/on your own, use those as examples of where you've demonstrated that you're self motivated and love to get stuck in.
Every role is unique and will require different skills, but if they're hiring a junior/entry level dev they won't expect you to know everything, but they will want someone who can pick up the skills required for the job.
yes, create relevant personal projects, but also learn the fundamentals (don't skip this!). During the interview, show that you know the fundamentals and that you can adapt and learn fast. Once you're in, you'll grow!

Whatever you do, don't believe that a portfolio website amounts to anything. It doesn't. Do it if you want, but consider it practice.
What's more valuable is your GitHub profile. Contribute to open source, create your own repositories, etc. This is far better than having a portfolio.
Hope these ones help:
