# 06-26 Containerizing the API

I followed a digital ocean tutorial on how to dockerize a laravel application and read the basic documentation. After a few hickups with Hyper-V on Windows 10 and broken versions of Docker Desktop, I successfully installed the API with a single command on my school laptop running Manjaro Linux and on a server running Debian. The next step will be to put the image on the Docker Hub and set up Redis, MySQL and the networking for the docker image.
