Python Dockerfile Isolation Runtime

This is defined for Python 3 apps. But, you can change it to run Python 2 by changing the first line of the Dockerfile.

To Run

1. Copy these files into the project directory
2. Update run.sh with the commmand(s) to run.
3. Build the docker image: docker build -t project-name .
4. Run it! docker run -it --rm --name project-name-running project-name

Dockerfile

FROM python:3

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

EXPOSE 80 8000 8080 5000 5001

COPY requirements.txt ./

RUN apt update && apt install -y memcached
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

CMD [ "./run.sh" ]

run.sh

#!/bin/bash

# run memcache in the background
memcached -u root -m 1000 &

# change this to whatever command specified to run the code
python app.py

docker run -it -p 11211:11211 --name mc memcached and docker run -it --link mc -v $(pwd):/app -p 8000:8000 python:3 bash has been helpful for me here too.
