Expected result

Listing containers must show one container running and the port mapping as below:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS              PORTS                    NAMES

After the application starts, navigate to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser:

Stop and remove the containers

$ docker compose down

Use with Docker Development Environments

You can use this sample with the Dev Environments feature of Docker Desktop.
To develop directly the web service inside a container, you just need to use the https git url of the sample:
