Docker Playground

A simple Docker and Docker Compose project. It can be used for flask with mongodb applications development.

• Three docker images are created:
  • A base image from Ubuntu 16.04, including gosu
  • A mongodb image, with a root user and a database owner
  • A third image with flask (project files inside a volume), gunicorn (with the --reload option for autoreload on file change) and nginx. Flask mongoengine's example is included.

Getting Started

Images and containers setup

Docker is required. You can either

• run setup.sh inside the project's root directory or
• install docker-compose version >= 1.6 and use the docker-compose.yml. Just run docker-compose up (optionally include the -d option to detach it)

You can then change anything inside the flask project flask-gunicorn-nginx/flask-app/ and view the changes on http://localhost.

Start | stop the containers

either with

• docker start | stop flask-mongo && docker start | stop flask-gunicorn-nginx or
• docker-compose start|stop inside the folder containing docker-compose.yml The mongo container has to start before the flask/gunicorn/nginx container.
