Fast and easy way to ship Python web apps, anywhere. Be shipping ๐
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 frameworkGunicorn
: Production grade App server for PythonWhitenoise
: Serving static files (js, css, images etc)Docker
: Contenarize codebase + all of the above tech to ship
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
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:https://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
