Hold My FLASK

What's in your Flask? It could be Whiskey or Gin 🍸. But if it's an API in need of some TLC to reach it's true potential 🚀, then this is what you need!

Instantly turn your Python-Flask application into a production-ready docker container.

No more writing and maintaining Dockerfile or docker-compose

Automatically adds and configures the following in your container so you don't have to:

• gunicorn for scalability
• nginx for routing
• supervisord for monitoring

Place your files inside /app.
Get up and running with a single command:

docker-compose up

Now, if anyone asks you to quickly create and deploy a scalable Flask app, all you have to say is "Hold My FLASK"!

Prerequisites

Docker docker-compose

Full Instructions

1. Place your Flask app files into the app directory. Use the name app.py for your app's entry point or change the filename in configs/supervisord.conf. (skip to step #5 to use defaults)
2. Set the version tag on the first line of Dockerfile to your desired Python version. (3.9 by default)
3. (Optional) Make changes to gunicorn, nginx and supervisord config files in /configs as needed.
4. (Optional) Use a file "app/utils/prep.py" to run python setup scripts such as downloading sklearn models and uncomment the respective line in Dockerfile to run the scripts before starting the server.
5. Finally, run the following set of command to build and run the docker container:

docker-compose up
