Docker setup Nginx Flask and Postgres

#Introduction

In this tutorial, How to use Docker setup Nginx Flask and Postgres.

Prerequisites

Docker setup Nginx Flask and Postgres

The structure folder and file of the app.

Docker setup Nginx Flask and Postgres

Nginx

The first Docker Nginx. It will be used as a proxy server.

User --> Nginx --> Python application

Dockerfile file

[vagrant@localhost nginx-flask-postgres]$ cat nginx/Dockerfile
FROM nginx:latest

RUN rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
COPY nginx/devopsroles.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/

Example devopsroles.conf file

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name _;

  location / {
    try_files $uri @app;
  }

  location @app {
    include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
    uwsgi_pass flask:8080;
  }
}

Flask

The second Docker container Python application running on a uWSGI server.

Dockerfile file

[vagrant@localhost nginx-flask-postgres]$ cat nginx/Dockerfile
FROM nginx:latest

RUN rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
COPY nginx/devopsroles.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/
[vagrant@localhost nginx-flask-postgres]$ cat flask/Dockerfile
# Base Image
FROM python:3.6-alpine as BASE

RUN apk add --no-cache linux-headers g++ postgresql-dev gcc build-base linux-headers ca-certificates python3-dev libffi-dev libressl-dev libxslt-dev
RUN pip wheel --wheel-dir=/root/wheels psycopg2
RUN pip wheel --wheel-dir=/root/wheels cryptography

# Actual Image
FROM python:3.6-alpine as RELEASE

EXPOSE 8080
WORKDIR /app

ENV POSTGRES_USER="" POSTGRES_PASSWORD="" POSTGRES_HOST=postgres POSTGRES_PORT=5432 POSTGRES_DB=""

COPY dist/ ./dist/
COPY flask/uwsgi.ini ./
COPY --from=BASE /root/wheels /root/wheels

RUN apk add --no-cache build-base linux-headers postgresql-dev pcre-dev libpq uwsgi-python3 && \
    pip install --no-index --find-links=/root/wheels /root/wheels/* && \
    pip install dist/*

CMD ["uwsgi", "--ini", "/app/uwsgi.ini"]

Note:

  • It exposes port 8080
  • creates a default directory /app/

uwsgi.ini file

[uwsgi]
socket = :8080
module = devopsroles.wsgi:app
master = 1
processes = 4
plugin = python

Postgres

Get Postgres the latest Postgres image from Docker Hub. Then we pass environment variables to it.

Example: database.conf file

[vagrant@localhost nginx-flask-postgres]$ cat postgres/database.conf
POSTGRES_USER=test
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
POSTGRES_HOST=postgres
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_DB=devopsroles

The final docker-compose.yml

[vagrant@localhost nginx-flask-postgres]$ pwd
/home/vagrant/nginx-flask-postgres
[vagrant@localhost nginx-flask-postgres]$ cat docker-compose.yml
version: '3.5'

services:
  web_server:
    container_name: nginx
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: nginx/Dockerfile
    ports:
      - 80:80
    depends_on:
      - app

  app:
    container_name: flask
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: flask/Dockerfile
    env_file: postgres/database.conf
    expose:
      - 8080
    depends_on:
      - database

  database:
    container_name: postgres
    image: postgres:latest
    env_file: postgres/database.conf
    ports:
      - 5432:5432
    volumes:
      - db_volume:/var/lib/postgresql

volumes:
  db_volume:

Docker Compose Build and Run

docker-compose up --build -d

The result Docker container Nginx, Flask, and Postgres

Docker setup Nginx Flask and Postgres
