Setting up BestBuy API Playground7:23
(ALTERNATIVE)-Launching Bestbuy API playground docker image4:21
Here's a step-by-step instruction guide on how to find the Docker image of Best Buy API Playground and what you need to do on your local machine if Docker is already installed:
Find the Docker Image
Open your web browser and navigate to https://hub.docker.com/r/tejasn1/best-buy-api-playground.
Here, you will find the Docker image tejasn1/best-buy-api-playground. This is the Docker image that we will be using.
Pull the Docker Image
Open your terminal.
Use the Docker pull command to download the image: docker pull tejasn1/best-buy-api-playground:latest. The latest tag downloads the most recent version of the image.
Run the Docker Image
Once the image is pulled, you can run the Docker image on your machine. If you want to run the Docker container on a different port, such as 8085, you can do so with the following command: docker run -p 8085:3030 -d tejasn1/best-buy-api-playground:latest.
This command tells Docker to run the image in a new container, map the host's port 8085 to the container's port 3030, and run the container in the background.
Access the Best Buy API Playground
After starting the Docker container, the Best Buy API Playground application will be accessible at http://localhost:8085 on your machine.
