Docker Python Base

A bare bones python Docker setup to support local and production development from a single ops base. A super simple Flask app is contained in the app/ directory for demo purposes, but this can easily be switched for any WSGI compatible application.

Steps to run

For local development simply run make run-local. Once built, the container will run the Flask demo app on http://<container_ip>:5000.

To run the deploy in a production container, run make run-deploy. Once built, the container will run the Flask demo app on http://<container_ip>.

In addition to the run commands, make build-local and make build-deploy are available to allow building containers without running them.

Useful Docker Commands (use with care)

• View docker images

docker images

• List actively running images (add -l to include stopped containers)

docker ps

• View container logs

docker logs -f <containerID>

• Stop container

docker stop <containerID>

• Delete dead images

for i in `docker images|grep \<none\>|awk '{print $3}'`;do docker rmi $i;done

• Delete containers

docker rm -f `docker ps --no-trunc -a -q`
