Provide Dockerfile and all applicable config and base Flask scripts necessary to start a webpage, with a script to automate HTTPS re-configuration.

With this container and a built image (or pulling the image from ucnt/flaskwebpage), you can get an HTTP or HTTPS server setup in 2 commands:

• sudo docker build -t flaskwebpage .
  THEN
  
• HTTP: sudo docker run -dit -p 80:80 --restart=always --name flaskwebpage flaskwebpage
  OR
• HTTPS (change parameters): sudo docker run -dit -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --restart=always --name flaskwebpage flaskwebpage "-d example.com,www.example.com -n example.com -e [email protected]"

• Be sure docker is installed. If not installed, run install_docker.sh
• You can access the container via: sudo docker exec -i -t flaskwebpage /bin/bash
• Folder/File Sctructure:
  • Current
    • All of the files+folders in this repo will be, by default, put into /home/flask.
    • The /home/flask/app folder will contain the Flask app. You can swap in and out any flask app that you want (so long as you have the necessary libraries installed).
  • Optional method
    • You can add a parameter to the RUN command to mount a local volumne to a directory in the container. Benefit is this allows you to edit the files without having to go into the container.
    • Example additional parameter: -v /home/user/flask/app:/home/flask/app
• This script uses linux's Supervisor to monitor and control uWSGI and nginx.
• Port 443 is left on the run command in case you want to use it. If you never will, you can remove "-p 443:443"

Put the domain info in the docker run command:

sudo docker run -dit -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --restart=always --name flaskwebpage flaskwebpage "-d example.com,www.example.com -n example.com -e [email protected]"

Run the docker container for 443 as well as 80 then run the automated setup script after the container is up:

sudo docker run -dit -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --restart=always --name flaskwebpage flaskwebpage

/home/flask/conf/setup-https.py -d example.com,www.example.com -n example.com -e [email protected]

Run: /home/flask/certbot-auto certonly -d [YOURDOMAIN] -w /home/flask/app
OR
Copy your existing certs to the folder of your choice. THEN...

• Adjust /home/flask/conf/nginx-https-template.conf to use HTTPS by replacing YOURDOMAIN with the domain you are setting up and, if you copied a cert into a folder, change the directory from /etc/letsencrpyt/live

• Remove /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nginx-http.conf

• Re-link ntinx-https.conf to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled: ln -s /home/flask/conf/nginx-https-template.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nginx-http.conf

• Restart the supervisor service
