Multistage Docker and Virtualenv Demo

Demo app for my blog post on multistage-dockerfiles and python virtualenvs.

Getting started

Have Docker and Docker Compose installed and then simply run:

$ docker-compose up app

This will build the docker image and start the server. So far the service is very simple, but should give you a starting point. See the Responder docs if you'd like to play around more with that. I think it's quite an interesting project.

I've also included a Pipfile and Pipfile.lock if you'd like to use pipenv instead. To use that with the default setup change your command to:

$ docker-compose up app-pipenv

There is also the Dockerfile-full, which is an example of the result of not using multi-stage builds for your python environment. Build that with the following command and then you can compare for yourself:

$ docker-compose up app-full
