Build Flask image using docker & docker-compose

 Build Flask Image using docker & docker-compose




1. Create a Dockerfile to build Flask image with Flask application, 'requirements.txt' and expose it in port 5000.
2. Create a 'docker-compose.json' file to create two services named 'python_web_app' and 'db_service'
3. The 'python_web_app' service  should be built from Dockerfile and specify the port as 5000
4. the 'db_service' should be built from image 'redis:alpine'
5. Add a volume to the 'python_web_app' service that mounts the current directory to the working directory inside the container and set the flask envireonment in debug mode.
6. Visit 'http:localhost:5000" to check weather the Flask application is running fine.

The container name of 'python_web_app' service should be 'web_container' and container name of 'db_service' should be 'db_container'




Here are the instructions for each of the tasks mentioned:


Create a file named Dockerfile and add the following content:

# Base image
FROM python:3.9-slim
# Set working directory
WORKDIR /app
# Copy requirements file
COPY requirements.txt .
# Install dependencies
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
# Copy application code
COPY . .
# Set Flask environment variables
ENV FLASK_APP=app.py
ENV FLASK_RUN_HOST=0.0.0.0
ENV FLASK_RUN_PORT=5000
ENV FLASK_ENV=development
# Expose port 5000
EXPOSE 5000
# Start Flask application
CMD ["flask", "run"]




Create a file named docker-compose.json and add the following content:

{

  "version": "3",

  "services": {

    "python_web_app": {

      "build": {

        "context": ".",

        "dockerfile": "Dockerfile"

      },

      "ports": [

        "5000:5000"

      ],

      "volumes": [

        ".:/app"

      ],

      "environment": {

        "FLASK_ENV": "development"

      },

      "container_name": "web_container"

    },

    "db_service": {

      "image": "redis:alpine",

      "container_name": "db_container"

      "volumes": [

        "redis-data:/data" //added to retain the data after docker-compose down

      ],

      "ports": [

        "6379:6379" //this port declaration is optional, not defined, not used locally

      ]

    }

  },

  "volumes": {

    "redis-data": {}

  }

}


Build and run the Docker containers:
Assuming you have Docker installed and the terminal is in the same directory as the Dockerfile and docker-compose.json files, run the following commands:

# Build and run the containers in detached mode
docker-compose -f docker-compose.json up -d

Verify Flask application:
Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:5000 to check if the Flask application is running fine.

A client has requested you to build a Docker image using Maven plugin, so that when you package your Maven project. Docker image will be built, and the generated artifacts will be deployed in local git repository  1. Create a Maven java project using CLI with the following configurations - groupId=javaApp  - artifactId maven-docker-image  2. Replace the 'Hello World!' message in the 'App.java' file with 'Hurray! You have successfully built a docker image using Maven' 3. Configure your 'pom.xml' to deploy the generated artifacts in the local git repository to build a docker image 4. The project should be deployed in the local repositary with the following details: - id = maven.repo - name = Maven Artifacts - URL = file:///home/labuser/Desktop/Remote/mavenArtifacts 5. The name of the jar file, repository name af the image should be same as the project artifactId...
