Hey there, OP here.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I believe simplicity at this phase of learning is much more valuable than efficiency, that's why I haven't tried to produce the most efficient images as examples. Since your suggestion also simplifies the Dockerfile itself, I have replaced the previous one with your suggestion, thanks!

You do realize that bad habits tend to not die, right? Don't teach bad practices because you're targeting newbies...teach them the best practices from the start.

Agreed, I didn't mean to teach bad practices to anyone, I am just trying to put simplicity in front of efficiency so that people can grasp the technology better and benefit from that.
