Docker Build

Build Unit Test Image

Required after container/Dockerfile changes. Tests won't see changes until image is rebuilt.

docker buildx build -t netalertx-test .

Build time: ~30 seconds (or ~90s if venv stage changes)

Build and Launch Production Container

Before launching, stop devcontainer services first to free ports.

cd /workspaces/NetAlertX
docker compose up -d --build --force-recreate

Pre-Launch Checklist

1. Stop devcontainer services: pkill -f 'php-fpm83|nginx|crond|python3'
2. Close VS Code forwarded ports
3. Run the build command
