+The `EXPOSE` instruction informs Docker that the container listens on the

+container accessible to the host. To do that, you must use either the `-p` flag
+to publish a range of ports or the `-P` flag to publish all of the exposed ports.
+You can expose one port number and publish it externally under another number.
