The guide provides a comprehensive tutorial on creating and deploying a Vue.js application using Docker, GitLab CI/CD, and GitLab Runner, aimed at software developers with basic command line, Docker, and version control knowledge. It begins with setting up a new Vue project using vue-cli, followed by instructions to push the application to a GitLab repository. The tutorial proceeds to guide users through configuring a Dockerfile and a .gitlab-ci.yml file for building and deploying the application. Detailed steps are provided to set up a server, install Docker, and register GitLab Runner to automate the deployment process. The successful deployment is verified by accessing the application through a server IP address, with further encouragement to use LogRocket for monitoring Vue applications to enhance debugging and user experience tracking.
