Installation

1. Get it from here using ZIPball or cloning it by git:

   git clone https://github.com/zxpower/reflaskr.git

2. Go into freshly created folder:

   cd reflaskr/src

3. Create the database:

   sqlite3 /tmp/flaskr.db < schema.sql

4. Run the app!

   python app.py or python3 app.py

5. Open http://localhost:5000/ in your browser to test the site. Use admin as username and default as password to login to system.

To run the app correctly you will require following Python prerequisites installed:

• flask (and all it's prerequisites)
• sqlite and it's bindings

Building and running Docker image

1. You can run everything via Docker. First you need to build the image that can be done using script provided:

   buildImage.sh - will produce a local image

2. Next you need to run your newly built container using:

   docker run --name reflaskr -d -p 8080:8080 reflaskr:latest

3. Now you're able to access reflaskr by opening http://localhost:8080/.

Note - Docker image built is run as non-root user for security measures. You can use it as blueprint for creating your own Docker images for running flask in production. This article contains some hints on how the image is built and how it could be used or debugged.
