Docker containers are one of the hottest trends in software development right now. Not only it makes it easier to create, deploy and run applications but by using containers you are confident that your application will run on any machine regardless of anything that may differ from yours that you created and tested the code.
In this tutorial, we will show you how you can dockerize easily a Flask API. We will use this Python Rest API Example. It’s a simple API that given an image URL it returns the dominant colors of the image.
We highly recommend creating a new python environment using Conda or pip so you can easily create your requirements.txt file that contains all the libraries that you are using in the project.
The Flask API that we will dockerize uses two .py files.
