Simple Web Application

This is a simple web application using Python Flask and MySQL database (Currently, Database configuration is not included app.py file, so database configuration will not work). This is used in the demonstration of development of Ansible Playbooks.

Below are the steps required to get this working on a base linux system.

  • Install all required dependencies
  • Install and Configure Web Server
  • Start Web Server

1. Install all required dependencies

Python and its dependencies

apt-get install -y python python-setuptools python-dev build-essential python3-pip python3-mysqldb

2. Install and Configure Web Server

Install Python Flask dependency

pip install flask
pip install flask-mysql
  • Copy app.py or download it from source repository
  • Configure database credentials and parameters

3. Start Web Server

Start web server

FLASK_APP=app.py flask run --host=0.0.0.0

4. Test

Open a browser and go to URL

http://<IP>:5000                            => Welcome
http://<IP>:5000/how%20are%20you            => I am good, how about you?
