A simple example of a DevOps task

devops a day at the office

A simple Python app, which makes requests to https://catfact.ninja/fact and prints the results to the terminal.

The application is packaged as a Docker image, which allows running it without installing anything but Docker.

Requirements

git and Docker - that's it

Usage

1. Git clone this repository
2. Build the image locally, tagging it as 1.0

   docker build -t catfacts:1.0 .
   

3. Run an instance of the image (container), each invocation will print a random fact about cats

   docker run --rm  catfacts:1.0
   

   NOTE: the --rm flag tells Docker to remove the container when it's finished, since we don't need to keep any important data, we just print and quit, reference - cleanup
