Basic Python Flask app in Docker (slim and best practices standards) which prints the hostname and IP of the container
docker-compose build
You can also just download the existing image from DockerHub.
docker pull look4regev/python-flask-docker
Create a container from the image.
docker-compose up
Now visit http://localhost:8080
The hostname of the container is 6095273a4e9b and its IP is 172.17.0.2.
Verify by checking the container ip and hostname (ID):
$ docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' my-container
172.17.0.2
$ docker inspect -f '{{ .Config.Hostname }}' my-container
6095273a4e9b
FLASK_APP=app/app.py FLASK_ENV=development flask run
TBD- Basically add mounts to the code path and run flask in development mode
