Sample Flask App with MongoDB - Simple implementation of ToDo List along with Dockerfile and Kubernetes yaml files

To-Do-List

To-Do-List is mini-project made with Flask and MongoDB. Dockerfile is also available to make docker image and docker containers.

Built using :

	Flask : Python Based mini-Webframework
	MongoDB : Database Server
	Pymongo : Database Connector ( For creating connectiong between MongoDB and Flask )
	HTML5 (jinja2) : For Form and Table

Set up environment for using this repo:

Install Python ( If you don't have already )
	$ sudo apt-get install python

Install MongoDB ( Make sure you install it properly )
	$ sudo apt install -y mongodb


Install Dependencies of the application (Flask, Bson and PyMongo)
	$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the application

Run MongoDB
1) Start MongoDB
	$ sudo service mongod start
2) Stop MongoDB
	$ sudo service mongod stop

Run the Flask file(app.py)
	$ FLASK_ENV=development python app.py

Go to http://localhost:5000 with any of browsers and DONE !!
	$ open http://localhost:5000

To exit press Ctrl+C

Using Docker Docker-Compose

Make sure that you are inside the project directory, where docker-compose.yaml file is present. Now, building and running the application server container and mongodb container using docker-compose :

Building or fetching the necessary images and later, creating and starting containers for the application
    $ docker-compose up -d

Go to http://localhost:5000 with any of browsers and DONE !!
    $ open http://localhost:5000

Running, Debugging and Stopping the application under the hood

For almost all of the `docker-compose` commands, make sure that you are inside the project directory, where `docker-compose.yaml` file is present.

Passing `-d` flag along with docker-compose, runs the application as daemon
    $ docker-compose up -d

Seeing all of the logs from the application deployed.
    $ docker-compose logs

Stopping the application
    $ docker-compose down

todo-list-using-flask-and-mongodb's Issues

Seperation of Dockerfile

It's kind of getting messy. Separation of the Dockerfile from the codes, or another README for Docker Instruction needed.

Add Kubernetes Deployment file for the python app

Instruction to deploy the python application in Kubernetes (in our case, GKE).

ImportError: cannot import name abc

I ran the docker up command and got:
flask-app | File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bson/code.py", line 18, in
flask-app | from bson.py3compat import abc, string_type, PY3, text_type
flask-app | ImportError: cannot import name abc

Include docker-compose file

Docker-Compose yaml will help to easily get started.
