Building a python web app
=========================
.. include:: example_header.inc
The goal of this example is to show you how you can author your own docker images using a parent image, making changes to it, and then saving the results as a new image. We will do that by making a simple hello flask web application image.
**Steps:**
.. code-block:: bash
docker pull shykes/pybuilder
We are downloading the "shykes/pybuilder" docker image
.. code-block:: bash
URL=http://github.com/shykes/helloflask/archive/master.tar.gz
We set a URL variable that points to a tarball of a simple helloflask web app
.. code-block:: bash
BUILD_JOB=$(docker run -d -t shykes/pybuilder:latest /usr/local/bin/buildapp $URL)
Inside of the "shykes/pybuilder" image there is a command called buildapp, we are running that command and passing the $URL variable from step 2 to it, and running the whole thing inside of a new container. BUILD_JOB will be set with the new container_id.
.. code-block:: bash
docker attach $BUILD_JOB
[...]
We attach to the new container to see what is going on. Ctrl-C to disconnect
.. code-block:: bash
BUILD_IMG=$(docker commit $BUILD_JOB _/builds/github.com/hykes/helloflask/master)
Save the changed we just made in the container to a new image called "_/builds/github.com/hykes/helloflask/master" and save the image id in the BUILD_IMG variable name.
.. code-block:: bash
WEB_WORKER=$(docker run -d -p 5000 $BUILD_IMG /usr/local/bin/runapp)
- **"docker run -d "** run a command in a new container. We pass "-d" so it runs as a daemon.
- **"-p 5000"** the web app is going to listen on this port, so it must be mapped from the container to the host system.
- **"$BUILD_IMG"** is the image we want to run the command inside of.
- **/usr/local/bin/runapp** is the command which starts the web app.
Use the new image we just created and create a new container with network port 5000, and return the container id and store in the WEB_WORKER variable.
.. code-block:: bash
docker logs $WEB_WORKER
* Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/
view the logs for the new container using the WEB_WORKER variable, and if everything worked as planned you should see the line "Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/" in the log output.
.. code-block:: bash
WEB_PORT=$(docker port $WEB_WORKER 5000)
lookup the public-facing port which is NAT-ed store the private port used by the container and store it inside of the WEB_PORT variable.
.. code-block:: bash
curl http://`hostname`:$WEB_PORT
Hello world!
access the web app using curl. If everything worked as planned you should see the line "Hello world!" inside of your console.
