docker-python-helloworld

A Python dockerized hello world app This repo aims at showing how simple it can be to build a Docker container running a Python (very simple) app. Once you understand how this simple example works, it's easy to apply it to bigger apps.

It's highly recommended to install the (empty) dependencies in a virtual environment.

• Creating the virtual environment:

virtualenv venv

• Activatingv the virtual environment:

source venv/bin/activate

• Installing dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Running the code:

python main.py

Steps to run the python code withing a Docker container

docker build -t docker-python-helloworld:lastest

• Run the container:

docker run docker-python-helloworld:latest
