Dockerize the Application (after Flask setup)

Description

To ensure the application can run consistently across all team members’ machines and future deployments, we need to containerize it using Docker. This avoids dependency conflicts and simplifies setup for everyone working on the project.

Acceptance Criteria:

• A Dockerfile is added to the project.

• .dockerignore excludes unnecessary files like .venv and _pycache_

• Running docker build successfully creates a Docker image.

• Running the container allows access to the app via a web browser.
