Simple blog app

Simple blog app utility to test FastAPI library and Docker functionalities

Docker testing

• Building blog-app image

  docker build -t blogg .
      

• Running blog app

  docker run -p 8000:8000 --network host blogg
      

• Launching Postgres database

  docker run --name postgres-blog -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD="" \
      -p 5432:5432 --network host -d postgres
      

• Creating database blog

  docker exec -it postgres-blog /bin/bash
  # On the container:
  psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -W
  # On pgsql shell
  create database blog;
  \q
  exit
      

Docker compose

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up --build

Current Steps

As I’m perfecting this, the steps are quite annoying

1. User docker-compose

   docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up --build
       

2. Above step will fail the first time. Manually enter the postgres-blog container to create the database

   docker exec -it postgres-blog /bin/bash
   # On the container:
   psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -W
   # On pgsql shell
   create database blog;
   \q
   exit
       

3. Run docker compose again. It should be ready
