With this command, a build an image was construed in its current folder and using the tag simple-python-app

To test your application, run the following command.

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 simple-python-app

---

-d command runs the container in decoupled mode (-d), without blocking your terminal.

-p command specifies the ports to be used in the 8080 application on the internal and external port of the container.

---

Now your application should be available on port 8080 on your localhost.

Use http://localhost:8080 with the sum route to perform the sum operation: http://localhost:8080/sum

And then use Insomia or any other software of your choice to send the request and see the results
