Docker Image : python-nginx

This image contains Nginx with Gunicorn on top of Python3 docker image. These software entities are managed with Supervisor.

Usage

Running directly off DockerHub

To try out the image directy from DockerHub, pull the image with:

docker pull sanjibm/python-nginx:latest

and then run

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8000:80 sanjibm/python-nginx

Now point your host's browser to http://localhost:8000 and you should see the output "Hello World"

Running your own container

The entry point of your application must be named as run.py. Moreover, the instance in that file must be called api. Also, by default the worker class used is Gevent.

You can include a custom Gunicorn configuration file into your application. By default the configuration file must be named as gunicorn.config.py

Dockerfile example

Here is an example of a Dockerfile using that image :

FROM sanjibm/python-nginx:latest
LABEL maintainer="sanjibm2006@gmail.com"

# Copy the application
COPY . /api

# Install application requirements
RUN pip install -U pip
RUN pip install -r /api/requirements.txt

There is also a Flask demo application in the api folder of this repository.

Build and run

First, build your image based on your Dockerfile.

docker build -t pyapi

Then, you can run a container like this :

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8000:80 pyapi

And finally access it with curl for instance :

curl localhost:8000
