Flask app

Simple web app based on Flask framework.

Why Flask?

Flask is a lightweight Python web framework that provides useful tools and features for creating web applications in the Python Language. It gives developers flexibility and is an accessible framework for new developers because you can build a web application quickly using only a single Python file. Flask is also extensible and doesn’t force a particular directory structure or require complicated boilerplate code before getting started.

Flask and Docker

The repository contain Dockerfile in order to build and run Flask app in Docker container in any environment / OS.

docker run -d -p 5000:5000 flask_app

docker build -f Dockerfile --build-arg PYTHON_VERSION=3.9 -t flask_app .
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 flask_app
