Write a Dockerfile for a Model API

Containerize the FastAPI service step by step.

Why a Dockerfile

Your model API runs on your laptop but breaks elsewhere. A Dockerfile is a recipe that builds the exact same environment everywhere.

Pick a Base Image

Every Dockerfile starts FROM a base image. A slim Python image gives you the interpreter without a bloated operating system.

FROM python:3.11-slim
