netalertx-docker-build	Build Docker images for testing or production. Use this when asked to build container, build image, docker build, build test image, or launch production container.

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
