A simple Python application demonstrating Docker containerization and CI/CD with Jenkins.

This project showcases a basic Python application that is fully containerized and automated using Jenkins CI/CD pipeline on Linux & Windows.

• Python 3.11+
• Docker Desktop (for Windows)
• Jenkins (configured on Windows machine)

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t hello-python .

2. Run the container:

   docker run --rm hello-python

This project includes a Jenkinsfile that automates the build and run process on a Windows-based Jenkins server.

Pipeline Stages:

1. Checkout - Clones the repository from GitHub
2. Build Docker Image - Builds the Docker image using PowerShell
3. Run App - Executes the containerized application

To run the pipeline:

1. Create a new Pipeline job in Jenkins
2. Point it to this repository: https://github.com/karadHub/hello-python.git
3. Jenkins will automatically detect the Jenkinsfile and execute the pipeline

Note: The pipeline is configured for Windows using PowerShell commands (powershell steps instead of sh).

When the application runs, you'll see:
