## 🐳 Using this Dev Container with Docker

This template can also be run manually using Docker, without VS Code.

### Option 1 — VS Code Dev Containers
1. Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
2. Install [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
3. Install the **Dev Containers** extension.
4. Open this folder in VS Code.
5. When prompted, select **"Reopen in Container"**.

VS Code will automatically:
- Pull the image `mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python`
- Build the environment
- Install dependencies (if any) from `requirements.txt`

### Option 2 — Run via Docker CLI
You can also launch the container directly using Docker:
```bash
docker run -it -p 9000:9000 mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python
