This is a port of the websteR R package for creating and consuming data dictionaries for data science projects.
The webster_py implementation is focused on webservice deployments, with a Flask webservice interface. Datasets and dictionaries are passed in a JSON format.
A Dockerfile is added which requires package-requirements to be named requirements.txt
This is a very insecure prototype, ideally this would be run behind a reverse application proxy such as nginx.
To Build:
docker build -t [your container name] .
If running behind a corporate firewall use --build-arg to pass a proxy in:
docker build -t [your container name] --build-arg https_proxy=itdrenlpp16059.na.paccar.com:3128 .
The docker file exposes the flask app on port 5000. The following example maps that to 9000 and loads the API:
docker run -p 9000:5000 -e FLASK_APP='webster_api.py' [your container name] python -m flask run --host=0.0.0.0
