Core setup for building a Python backend and React frontend app. After installing dependencies and starting the app you can immediately begin serving static files from a Flask server to a web client, with the option to build and deploy a Docker image.
This repo is intended for development and must be reconfigured for production.
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
- You have installed the latest version of Python3, pip3, Node.js, and Docker
- Navigate to the
/clientfolder and runnpm install - Navigate to the
/serverfolder and runpip3 install -r server/requirements.txt
To start using pythonserver:
- Start webpack from the
clientdirectory by runningnpm run build-dev - Start the server from the root directory with
python3 server/app.py - Navigate to
http://localhost:5000/index.htmlto send a request to the server
To build and deploy a docker image:
- Run
docker build -t yourimagename:yourimageversion . - Deploy a container by running
docker run -p 5000:5000 yourimageID - Note that by default the Flask server runs on
port 5000 - The docker-cheat-sheet repo is a helpful guide for various Docker questions
