  • I’ll give a more detailed answer.

    Docker doesn’t help you in the development of the website. Docker helps you with the deployment of the website.

    The purpose of Docker is to give you a consistent environment. When you create a Docker “image,” that image includes all of the files and software required to run the website. Then on some computer accessible by the public internet, you can just download that “image” and run your website using a “container” created from the image.

    You can think of the image as the blueprint of all the bits and pieces needed to run your website. The container is basically all those pieces put into action to actually run the website.

    Now, depending on your website, you may not even need Docker. If it’s frontend-only, you could use some service like Vercel, where you don’t even need Docker.

    Can you share more info about your current level of knowledge and the website you want to make?
