themagicalkarp/docker-thing repository overview

⁠docker-thing

• Docker Hub⁠
• Github⁠

⁠Running on Docker host

• build docker pull themagicalkarp/docker-thing
• run docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -p 5000:5000 -d themagicalkarp/docker-thing python app.py
• set up port forwarding on virtual machine instance (if using boot2docker)
• visit localhost:5000

⁠Running locally (for dev)

• pull and run the image on the docker host, as above
• on your local machine (not boot2docker), set the tcp address from boot2docker socket in the app.py Client constructor
• npm install -g gulp
• npm install (grabs node modules)
• pip install -r requirements.txt (pro tip: use a virtual environment)
• gulp watch
• python app.py

Note: Both gulp watch and python app.py are long running processes so you'll need two terminal instances to run both. gulp watch will automagically rebuild the js after a file is saved to disk.
