Flask Application Docker Setup

This project contains a Docker setup for a Flask application. It includes a Dockerfile for building a Docker image and a docker-compose.yml file for easy orchestration of the Docker container.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Docker
• Docker Compose (for using Docker Compose)

Project Structure

Here's an overview of the project's directory structure:

/
├── app/
│ ├── app.py # Main Flask application file
│ ├── requirements.txt # Python dependencies
│ └── ... # Other Flask application files
├── Dockerfile # Dockerfile for building the Flask app image
└── docker-compose.yml # Docker Compose configuration file

Dockerfile

The Dockerfile sets up an Ubuntu-based Docker image with Python and other necessary packages. It copies the Flask application into the Docker container and installs the required Python packages.

Docker Compose

The docker-compose.yml file simplifies the process of building and running the Docker container. It maps the container port to a host port and sets up the environment for the Flask application.

Building and Running

Using Docker

To build and run the Flask application using Docker:

1. Build the Docker image:

docker build -t . paywall-bypass

2. Run the Docker container:

docker run -p 5000:5000 -it -d paywall-bypass

Using Docker Compose

To build and run the application using Docker Compose:

1. Start the application:

docker-compose up --build -d

2. Access the application at http://localhost:5000/.

Stop the application by running:

docker compose down
