## Compose sample application
### Python/Flask application with Nginx proxy and a Mongo database

Project structure:
```
.
├── docker-compose.yaml
├── flask
│   ├── Dockerfile
│   ├── requirements.txt
│   └── server.py
└── nginx
    └── nginx.conf

```

[_docker-compose.yaml_](docker-compose.yaml)
```
services:
  web:
    build: app
    ports:
    - 80:80
  backend:
    build: flask
    ...
  mongo:
    image: mongo
```
The compose file defines an application with three services `web`, `backend` and `db`.
When deploying the application, docker-compose maps port 80 of the web service container to port 80 of the host as specified in the file.
Make sure port 80 on the host is not being used by another container, otherwise the port should be changed.

## Deploy with docker-compose

```
$ docker-compose up -d
Creating network "nginx-flask-mongo_default" with the default driver
Pulling mongo (mongo:)...
latest: Pulling from library/mongo
423ae2b273f4: Pull complete

Status: Downloaded newer image for nginx:latest
Creating nginx-flask-mongo_mongo_1 ... done
Creating nginx-flask-mongo_backend_1 ... done
Creating nginx-flask-mongo_web_1     ... done

```

## Expected result

Listing containers must show three containers running and the port mapping as below:
```
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                        COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                  NAMES

dba87a080821        nginx-flask-mongo_backend   "./server.py"            About a minute ago   Up About a minute                          nginx-flask-mongo_backend_1
d7eea5481c77        mongo                       "docker-entrypoint.s…"   About a minute ago   Up About a minute   27017/tcp              nginx-flask-mongo_mongo_1
```

After the application starts, navigate to `http://localhost:80` in your web browser or run:
```
$ curl localhost:80
Hello from the MongoDB client!
```

Stop and remove the containers
```
$ docker-compose down
```
