Skeleton for flask applications using docker for development.

Flask Skeleton

This project contains an skeleton application to be used with Docker Compose and Postgres using volumes for development.

If you don't have a machine, you must create it:

docker-machine create default

And start it:

docker-machine start default

Once started, you can get its information:

docker-machine env default

And set up the environment variables for this machine:

eval "$(docker-machine env default)"

Once done, we can build the project

docker-compose up --build

To access the machine on localhost (needed to use Google Oauth2) it is needed to port forward the 8000 port to the machine's 8000 port. This can be done from Virtualbox: Select the virtual machine -> Settings -> Network -> Advanced -> Port Forwarding:

Name	Protoccol	Host IP	Host Port	Guest IP	Guest Port
Redirect Port 8000	TCP	127.0.0.1	8000		8000
Redirect Postgres 5432	TCP	127.0.0.1	5432		5432

Once done the machine can be accesed on the following IP:

127.0.0.1:8000

Postgres

To connect to the Postgres Database (password postgres):

psql -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -U postgres --password

CREATE DATABASE <name>;

To view the tables

\dt

To create the tables:

docker-compose run web python main.py --setup
