Create & Dockerize a Flask app with Redis

 Create & Dockerize a Flask app with Redis






For this project we would create everything from scratch.

Section 1 : We would create the Flask app
Section 2 : We would deploy the app as service, along with redis using docker and docker-compose.

Section 1

Creating a flask app that returns the count number of times the page was visited.

Create a requirements.txt file, and paste the following dependency name
Flask
redis


Import dependencies using
pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt


Create a app.py file 
from flask import Flask
from redis import Redis
app = Flask(__name__)
redis = Redis(host='db_service', port=6379)
@app.route('/')
def hello():
    visit_count = redis.incr('visit_count')
    return f"Hello, this page has been visited {visit_count} times."
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0')


We can test the app locally for this we need to:

Install virtualenv if it's not already installed:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-venv

Create a new virtual environment:
python3 -m venv myenv

Activate the virtual environment:
source myenv/bin/activate

Install Flask and Redis within the virtual environment:
pip install Flask redis

Run the Flask application within the virtual environment:
python3 app.py


Section 2

For Section 2, Let's visit one previous project Build Flask Image using docker & docker-compose


You can also follow the github project DockerizeFlaskVisitCounter
