What this snippet does

Without -p on docker run the port stays inside the container network, EXPOSE is metadata only.

Expected output

curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8080

Why practise typing this

Typing dockerfile basics code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Docker uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
