You know how Docker images, containers, and volumes work. Now, you get to practice what you learned by creating a Python app using the Flask micro-framework! 😃

Your Task: You will use the Dockerfile from Lab 5 to create a Flask application that runs inside of your docker container. Here are examples of what your application will do:

Goals for Lab 6

The goal for this lab is to create a Python application using the Flask micro-framework.

During this lab, you will learn how to:

1. create a simple Python development environment using Docker

2. use docker-compose to define a volume for your development files

3. develop a Flask web app to demonstrate the entire development process

Further studies

I recommend the Flask Tutorial from Pallets Projects if you want to study this topic further.
