This project demonstrates how to set up a Docker environment to run a Python application that processes data from text files. It includes a Dockerfile for building a custom Docker image and a docker-compose.yml for easy deployment.
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
- Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system. Follow the installation guides on the Docker website and the Docker Compose documentation.
my_docker_project/ ├── data/ # Directory for input text files ├── app/ # Python script and other source files ├── data/ # data directory with IF.txt and Limerick-1.txt ├── output/ # Directory where result.txt is saved ├── Dockerfile # Dockerfile for building the image └── docker-compose.yml # Docker Compose file for deployment
Place your IF.txt and Limerick-1.txt files inside the data/ directory if not placed already.
To build the Docker image and run the container, execute the following commands in your project's root directory:
docker-compose up
The docker-compose.yml file is configured to mount the data/ directory into the container and execute the Python script automatically.
The Python script will generate a result.txt file inside the container at /home/output/, which will contain the processing results. To view the output on the console, the script is set to print the contents of result.txt before the container exits.
You can modify the Python script under the app/ directory to add additional functionalities or process different files as per your requirements.
