# FastAPI in Containers - Docker { #fastapi-in-containers-docker }

When deploying FastAPI applications a common approach is to build a **Linux container image**. It's normally done using <a href="https://www.docker.com/" class="external-link" target="_blank">**Docker**</a>. You can then deploy that container image in one of a few possible ways.

Using Linux containers has several advantages including **security**, **replicability**, **simplicity**, and others.

## Security - HTTPS { #security-https }

In the [previous chapter about HTTPS](https.md){.internal-link target=_blank} we learned about how HTTPS provides encryption for your API.

We also saw that HTTPS is normally provided by a component **external** to your application server, a **TLS Termination Proxy**.

      throw new AssertionError("Uncaught throwable in " + getName(), uncaughtThrowable);
    }
  }

  /**
   * Causes this thread to call the named void method, and asserts that the call returns normally.
   */
  public void callAndAssertReturns(String methodName, Object... arguments) throws Exception {
    checkNotNull(methodName);
    checkNotNull(arguments);
    sendRequest(methodName, arguments);

      redundantOpCount >= lruEntries.size
  }

  /**
   * Drops the entry for [key] if it exists and can be removed. If the entry for [key] is currently
   * being edited, that edit will complete normally but its value will not be stored.
   *
   * @return true if an entry was removed.
   */
  @Synchronized
  @Throws(IOException::class)
  fun remove(key: String): Boolean {
    initialize()

* `HEAD`
* `PATCH`
* `TRACE`

In the HTTP protocol, you can communicate to each path using one (or more) of these "methods".

---

When building APIs, you normally use these specific HTTP methods to perform a specific action.

Normally you use:

* `POST`: to create data.
* `GET`: to read data.
* `PUT`: to update data.
* `DELETE`: to delete data.

## Create a Project { #create-a-project }

First, create a directory for your project.

What I normally do is that I create a directory named `code` inside my home/user directory.

And inside of that I create one directory per project.

<div class="termy">

```console
// Go to the home directory
$ cd

      throw new AssertionError("Uncaught throwable in " + getName(), uncaughtThrowable);
    }
  }

  /**
   * Causes this thread to call the named void method, and asserts that the call returns normally.
   */
  public void callAndAssertReturns(String methodName, Object... arguments) throws Exception {
    checkNotNull(methodName);
    checkNotNull(arguments);
    sendRequest(methodName, arguments);

These proxies could handle HTTPS certificates and other things.

## Proxy Forwarded Headers { #proxy-forwarded-headers }

A **proxy** in front of your application would normally set some headers on the fly before sending the requests to your **server** to let the server know that the request was **forwarded** by the proxy, letting it know the original (public) URL, including the domain, that it is using HTTPS, etc.
