Install web server app (Django) using Docker container

Clone this repository and move to example folder

git clone https://github.com/APurwat/Docker-Zero-to-Hero.git

Browse a location

cd /home/ash/Docker/Docker-Zero-to-Hero/examples/python-web-app

Lets create Image

docker build -t ashwini0246/my-first-docker-container-image .

It will start creating a image

To see the image

docker images

Now, run a container

docker run -it ashwini0246/my-first-docker-container-image

You will face an below error because port mapping is not yet done

Now, Modify above command to map a port

docker run -p 8000:8000 -it ashwini0246/my-first-docker-container-image

Once you run above command it will work

If your using amazon ec2 machine then you have to make sure port is open

to open port 8000 on your ec2 machine, Go to the VM click on networking

• Add a New Rule: Add a new rule with the following details:

  • Type: Custom TCP

  • Protocol: TCP

  • Port Range: 8000

  • Source: Custom (or select "Anywhere" to allow traffic from any IP address)

  • Source IP: 0.0.0.0/0 (for IPv4) or ::/0 (for IPv6) to allow traffic from all IP addresses. For more restricted access, specify a specific IP or IP range.

• Save Rules: After adding the new rule, click the "Save rules" button to apply the changes.

Once you done this then browse an url

http://<ur vm public ip>:8000

Here in my case url is http://18.232.148.225:8000/

Am getting below output

Now, If I browse to the demo folder then I will get a desired output which I have set in a file

That's it !!! Great Job !! We have successfully launch web app using docker container :)
