flask-docker

Fast and easy way to ship Python web apps, anywhere. Be shipping 🚀

Building apps using Python is fun. But shipping them, not so much (unlike PHP & NodeJS, which are supported almost everywhere) However, Docker makes it really easy, here is how:

• Flask: Web app framework. You could take any other WSGI framework
• Gunicorn: Production grade App server for Python
• Whitenoise: Serving static files (js, css, images etc)
• Docker: Contenarize codebase + all of the above tech to ship

Try

You can try sample Flask app container from Docker Hub. For that, you don't need to clone this git source.

• docker pull chhantyal/flask-docker
• docker run -p 8000:8000 flask-docker

Ship

In few steps, you can run on local, your colleague's local, AWS, Azure, anywhere.

Docker Container -> Container Registry -> Cloud

First build container:

• docker build . -t flask-docker:latest

Test local container:

• Run: docker run -p 8000:8000 flask-docker:latest
• Open: http://localhost:8000

If you want to deploy in the cloud:

• Tag it: docker tag flask-docker:latest container_registry.com/flask-docker:latest
• Push to remote container registry: docker push container_registry.com/flask-docker:latest
• Run in remote server: docker run -d -p 80:8000 flask-docker:latest
