This image contains Gunicorn on top of the latest Python image. It's mainly used for API development purposes.
Note : There is no Nginx in there. So static files are not managed.
By default, the entry point of your application must be named as run.py. Moreover, the instance in that file must be called app. Also, by default the worker class used is Gevent.
You can change that behavior running the container with a custom command (here only the name of the application has changed):
docker run -ti -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 local_api gunicorn wsgi:app -c /app/gunicorn.config.py
You can also include a custom Gunicorn configuration file into your application. By default the configuration file must be name as gunicorn.config.py
Here is an example of a Dockerfile using that image :
FROM matthieugouel/python-gunicorn:latest
MAINTAINER Matthieu Gouel <[email protected]>
# Copy the application
COPY . /app
# Install application requirements
RUN pip install -U pip
RUN pip install -r /app/requirements.txt
There is also a Flask demo application in the app folder of this repository.
First, build your image based on your Dockerfile.
docker build -t dev_api .
Then, you can run a container like this :
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 dev_api
You can access to your API with curl for instance :
curl localhost:8000
