A simple web app with the ability to display static content, as well as save and display user uploaded images. There are two versions: a development and production version. The development version runs a python webserver using Flask as the framework and uses Postgres to manage the app's database. The production version adds on Gunicorn to run the server and nginx as a reverse proxy. Each of these services is run in its own docker container. See this tutorial for the full details.
If the web app's development version is currently running, bring it down with
docker-compose down
Add the -v flag to remove uploaded user content and the database
Run the web app with
docker-compose up -d --build
If the web app's production version is currently running, bring it down with
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
Add the -v flag to remove uploaded user content and the database
Run the web app with
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build
Create/reset the database with
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec web python manage.py create_db
Both the development and production versions of the web app are hosted on localhost:1342. Navigate to http://localhost:1342 to check whether it is running. If it is, the following text should be displayed:
{"hello":"world"}
Any files placed in the project's ./services/web/project/static directory can be displayed by navigating to http://localhost:1342/static/<filename>.
Users can upload images at http://localhost:1342/upload which can then be displayed at http://localhost:1342/media/<filename>.
