Flask is WSGI web app framework written in Python. This app calculates sales commissions based on user input in a standard web browser.
I'm using a dev container so I don't have to install Python and Flask on my Mac. All I need a is a Docker daemon, which in my case is colima and VS Code with the dev container extension.
This dev container does not appear to start Flask as a CMD at the end of the Dockerfile, but as postStartCommand in the devcontainer.json works. Note postCreateCommand only runs once so not the right one to use.
If Flask does not start, manually start the flask app with this command run within the repo directory.
flask run --host=0.0.0.0Open a web browser and enter localhost:5001 to see the Flask app
In Coder's envbuilder project that leverages dev containers, lifecycle scripts in devcontainer.json like postCreateCommand and postStartCommand must redirect output to a file or /dev/null or the workspace hangs. Add > /dev/null 2>&1 after any commands in those scripts.
