Thank you very much.
It worked perfectly for me!
Do you have any idea how to generate a windows service from a docker ?
Thank you very much!

[@AyyazTech]

That's fantastic to hear! I'm really glad the tutorial worked well for you.
About generating a Windows service from a Docker container, that's an interesting question! While Docker is generally separate from traditional Windows Services, you can look into using utilities like nssm (the Non-Sucking Service Manager) to run Docker containers as Windows services. I'll certainly consider covering this topic in a future video.

But if you want it to auto reload on save? Like "ng serve --watch"?

[@AyyazTech]

Hey there! For auto-reloading with Docker, similar to ng serve --watch, you would need to modify your Docker setup to include a development server that watches for file changes. The video tutorial on dockerizing an Angular project doesn't cover this aspect.
To achieve auto-reloading, you can set up a volume in your Docker container that maps to your project directory. This way, when you make changes to your files locally, these changes are mirrored inside the container. You'd also need to start the Angular dev server (ng serve) inside the container instead of just building the project with npm run build.
Here's a rough idea of what changes you might need in your Dockerfile:
Instead of just building the project, start the Angular dev server.
Set up a volume that maps your local project directory to the directory in the container.
This setup allows you to continue working locally while the container reflects these changes, enabling hot-reload functionality.

Got "It works"! Disappointing. Your notes below don't help.

[@syedhannan546]

Does it hide the source code? I have api keys in project stored in config file which i dont want to display.

[@AyyazTech]

Hey there! Great question. When you dockerize an Angular project as demonstrated in the video, you're essentially bundling up your application and its dependencies into a container image. The source code inside the container is not directly visible to anyone who simply runs or uses the Docker container. However, someone with enough knowledge can potentially retrieve the contents of the container, which could include your source code.
If you have sensitive information, like API keys, you should never include them directly in your source code or Docker images, even if they're not directly visible. Instead, use environment variables or secret management tools to inject these sensitive values into your application at runtime. Docker has support for environment variables, and there are orchestration tools like Kubernetes that have built-in secret management.
In summary, while dockerizing your Angular project will not expose your source code directly to those who run your Docker container, you should still take extra precautions to ensure sensitive data remains protected. Always avoid hard-coding sensitive information directly into your source code or Docker images.

@@AyyazTech but while running the container of the image in docker desktop if i go to "files" i am able to see the entire directory along with the source code

[@AyyazTech]

@@syedhannan546 Ah, I understand your concern better now. Yes, when you're using Docker Desktop or any Docker management tool, you can explore the contents of the container, including the source code and any other files that were added to the image.
To address this:
Environment Variables: As previously mentioned, sensitive information like API keys should never be hardcoded into your source code or config files. Use environment variables instead, which you can pass to your Docker container at runtime. This way, even if someone explores the container, they won't find the API keys or any other secrets.
Multi-Stage Builds: If you're concerned about the source code being visible in the container, consider using a multi-stage Docker build. With this, you can have an initial stage where you build your Angular app, and then in the next stage, only copy the built artifacts (like the dist folder for an Angular app) to the final image. This way, the source code doesn't end up in the final image.
Minification & Obfuscation: While this doesn't hide the source code, it makes it much harder to read. Angular's production builds already do minification. If you want an extra layer of security, you can look into tools that obfuscate JavaScript code.
Remember, no method is foolproof. The goal is to add layers of difficulty for anyone trying to access sensitive information. Always keep your Docker images private and only distribute them to trusted parties.

not working . It take me to a page where it shows. It works!

[@AyyazTech]

I'm sorry to hear you're encountering issues after following the steps to dockerize your Angular project. The "It works!" page typically appears when the default web server page is displayed instead of your application. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as incorrect Docker configuration, the Angular app not building correctly, or the server not pointing to the right directory.
Here are a few things you might want to check:
Dockerfile Configuration: Ensure that your Dockerfile is set up to copy your Angular project files into the container and that it's building and serving your app correctly.
Port Mapping: Check if the Docker container's port is correctly mapped to your host machine's port.
Angular Build: Ensure your Angular project builds without errors and that the output is correctly placed in the container's served directory.
If you continue to face issues, please provide more details or error messages, and I'll do my best to assist you further.
