Containerize the application¶
To safely share with others, you can containerize the application.
Use podman or docker to build the image:
# Use the Python version you need
#FROM python:3.9-slim
FROM python:3.11
# Set the working directory inside the container
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
# Copy the current directory into the container at the WORKDIR
COPY . .
# Install dependencies
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
# Make port 80 available to the world, for web apps
EXPOSE 80
# Set environment variables
ENV NAME World
ENV PATH /usr/src/app
# Run the app when the container launches
RUN ["python3", "./app.py"]
