+ToDo App Docker Instructions
+

+The pre-built image is available at the following link:
+https://hub.docker.com/r/trickykot3/todoapp
+
+2. Build Instructions
+Build for local use:
+
+docker build -t todoapp .
+
+Build for pushing to Docker Hub:
+
+docker build -t trickykot3/todoapp:1.0.0 .
+
+3. Run Instructions
+Run the local image:
+
+docker run -p 8080:8080 --name my_todo_app todoapp
+
+Run the image from Docker Hub:
+
+docker run -p 8080:8080 --name my_todo_app trickykot3/todoapp:1.0.0
+
