In this post we are going to build our own docker image from scratch, and publish it to a remote repository. Define the flow A standard flow of packaging and shipping our app would look something like this: 1. Create a Dockerfile which will contain our set of layers and "instructions" for designing our image. 2. Build the image which will serve as a "Master template" for our application containers. 3. Publish our build to a repository so others could pull and run containers from our Image.  (In our example we are going to uje JFrog Artifactory.) Let's get to work... 1. Create a Dockerfile. A Dokcerfile is basically a text file that contains a set of commands which will assemble our Image. (An Image is much like a base template). For this example, we will build a simple "Hell
