estebanandres/hellopython repository overview

⁠Python

⁠Description

A simple Python application demonstrating an HTTP server that responds with "hello world."

⁠Prerequisites

Docker must be installed. You can install Docker from docker.com⁠

⁠Installation

⁠Step 1: Pull the Image

First, pull the image from Docker Hub using the following command:

docker pull estebanandres/hellopython

⁠Step 2: Run the Container

To run the container, use the following command:

 docker run -p 8083:8083 estebanandres/hellopython

• -p 8083:8083 maps port 8083 from the container to port 8083 on your machine.

⁠Important

To use the previous command, port 8083 must be available. If it's in use, you can map it to another port. For example, to map to port 3000, use the following command:

docker run -p 3000:8083 --name hellopython estebanandres/hellopython

⁠Running the Container in the Background (Detached Mode)

If you want to run the container in the background, use the -d flag for detached mode:

docker run -d -p 8083:8083 --name hellopython estebanandres/hellopython

The -d flag runs the container in the background, allowing you to continue using your terminal while the container runs. You can verify that the container is running in the background by using:

docker ps

This command will show you a list of all running containers.

⁠Full Example

If you want to run the container in the background, use the -d flag for detached mode:

docker pull estebanandres/hellopython
