Python Web Framework Flask App on Docker Container

By -

 Namaste this post is an extension of the Docker image management. In this post, I would like to talk about how the Dockerfile content will work to build the Python web framework using the Flask app.


Let's consider a web platform we have multiple choices to use as a web application to run on docker container:

  1. Python web app using Flask
  2. Node.JS app
  3. Web app run with Go

For all these program execution structures is similar you must have 'app' folder. Where you can write your web application code.


FROM python:3.9.4-alpine

COPY requirements.txt /
RUN pip3 install -r /requirements.txt

COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app

ENTRYPOINT ["./gunicorn.sh"]
Here the base image used as Python3 version with apline which is thinner image. As pip installer will use requirement.txt file to install the dependencies libraries and packages required for running Flask.
COPY instruciton used to copy the files from docker host machine to container image.
WORKDIR is like cd command.
ENTRYPOINT instruction will take param which can be a script or command that could be executed

Step 1: Get the Flask Docker app Dockerflle from GitHub. You can have the following repository by Fort on the GitHub then you can use the 

git clone
on Docker daemon running VM. 
    git clone https://github.com/BhavaniShekhar/Flask_Docker_App-1.git
    cd Flask_Docker_App-1/
	ls -lrt

Step 2: Update some files and commit your changes. Here I've modified the index.html present in the 

 vi app/templates/index.html
. Now, all set we can save the changes. 
  git add .
  git commit -m 'added text to index.html'
Remember this will works only when you set the 
 git config --global user.email
and 
 git config --global user.name

Step 3: Build the docker image with the following command: 

 
  docker build -t flask:1.3 .

Step 4: Construct the container based on the flask image 

 
  docker run -d -p 8081:80 flask:1.3

Step 5: Python Flask based web app ready to use open a browser and try to access it with host ip and host port http://192.168.33.250:8081/


You can see the output as follows:

Ansible 11 The uri module with examples

 Hey DevSecOps Automation specialist, Welcome back to the DevOps Hunter blog. In this post, I made it for learning more about all possible parameters that we can use when an application validation is done with the Ansible 'uri' module.  Why uri module? Web Application returns status HTTPCode 200 for success, 404 for failures, and also for 503 for Server internal issues. When you work on the restart of a web application we need to know the status of the application to proceed with the next move. So this uri module is most important for reboot and restart of web applications using ansible. The uri module parameters Supported parameters include: attributes, backup, body, body_format, client_cert, client_key, content, creates, delimiter, dest, directory_mode, follow, follow_redirects, force, force_basic_auth, group, headers, http_agent, method, mode, owner, regexp, remote_src, removes, return_content, selevel, serole, setype, seuser, src, status_code, timeout,...

Hello DevOps team!! Today I've revisited the experiment with the Jenkins ACTIVE CHOICE Parameter  to get the Dynamic parameters effect on the Build Job parameters. Installation Active Choice parameter - Groovy Script Prerequisite: Jenkins installed Up and running on your target master machine. Jenkins URL accessible   Step 1: Install Active Choice plugin On the Jenkins Dashboard, select the Manage Jenkins, Plugin- Manager, In the Available tab search for word 'Active', where you can see Active Choice plugin and choose installation option, and this will enables three different parameters in the "Add Paramters" list. They are : 1. Active choice parameter 2. Active Choice Reactive parameter 3. Active choice Reactive Reference parameter Here In my example I will use two of them, Firstly Active Choice Parameter for "environment". Create new item Name: active_project select a freestyle project click OK button. In the General tab, select the checkbo...

To achieve faster application delivery and stable environments, the right tools must be used in DevOps environments. There is no single tool that fits all your needs such as server provisioning, configuration management, automated builds, code deployments, and monitoring. Many factors determine the use of a particular tool in your infrastructure.   In this article, we will look into core tools which can be used in a typical Devops environment. Version Control Tools: Git - An awesome tool to version your source code and collaborate. Terraform  - A tool used in building, changing, and versioning the infrastructure across platforms. Build Orchestration/Continuous Integration Tools: Jenkins - It is an open-source, lightweight CI tool written in Java, with high extensibility and a fast release cycle. Buildbot  - An open-source framework for automating software build, test and release process. CruiseControl  - A CI server written in  # Ruby ...
