Problem Statement:

Write a Dockerfile that:

Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:

• Understand the syntax and purpose of VOLUME and EXPOSE instructions.
• Grasp how VOLUME creates a mount point and ensures data persistence.
• Learn how to EXPOSE documents in the container's listening port and enable access to services.
