differential equations - Solving a simple BVP

I'm new to mathematica and am interested in solving the following BVP:

$\epsilon \,y'' + 2 y' + y^3 = 0$, for $0 < x < 1$ and $y(0) = 0, y(1) = 1/2$.

I have no experience with coding, so although I have read through the Mathematica documentation, I'm still a bit confused as to how to do this. I think I understand DSolve, but what does that actually give me, and how do i plot it?

Answer

Nice to have something to solve while waiting for coeffee.

 Manipulate[
 eq = \[Epsilon]\[Epsilon] y''[x] + 2 y'[x] + y[x]^3 == 0;
 ic = {y[0] == ic0, y[1] == ic1};

 sol = First@NDSolve[Flatten[{eq, ic}], y[x], {x, 0, to}];

 Plot[y[x] /. sol, {x, 0, to}, 
  Frame -> True, 

  PlotRange -> All, 
  ImagePadding -> 50, 
  FrameLabel -> {
       {y[x], None}, 
       {x,
        Style[Row[{"solution to ", \[Epsilon] y''[x] + 2 y'[x] +y[x]^3 == 0}], 12]
       }
      }, 
  GridLines -> Automatic, 
  GridLinesStyle -> Directive[LightGray, Thickness[.001]]
