How to run API locally with Docker

1. docker build -t IMAGE_NAME .: Builds Docker image.

• WINDOWS: docker run -dp 5000:5000 -w /app -v "/c/LOCAL_PATH_TO_PROJECT_FOLDER/flask-workshop:/app" IMAGE_NAME sh -c "flask run --host 0.0.0.0": Run Docker container with hot reloading.
• LINUX: docker run -dp 5000:5000 -w /app -v "$(pwd):/app" IMAGE_NAME sh -c "flask run --host 0.0.0.0": Run Docker container with hot reloading.

3. API should work! Use Postman to test.
