Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/sanogotech/docker-flask-uwsgi-nginx-simple

To develop locally, create a new virtual env in the flask directory & run the app:

cd app
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
export FLASK_APP=run.py
export FLASK_ENV=development
flask run

Go to - http://127.0.0.1:5000

To run the container locally:

docker-compose up --build

Go to - http://127.0.0.1/

Notes

nginx logs and uwsgi logs will be logged to log/nginx and log/uwsgi respectively. This can be changed by changing the volume mounts in the docker-compose.yml.

Alternatively, delete the volumes to have Docker log to Stdout.
