Getting Started

To begin the FlaskApp Tutorial you will need to install Docker. Then create a new project folder, and add the four files described in Commit-v0.1. Finally, from the root of your new project issue the following shell command:

docker-compose up --build

When it's working, pointing your browser at http://localhost:5000 will return the message Hello FlaskApp.

You can browse the code files on github.com, of course, but you can also download the source code, for instance to more easily compare your version of the application with the original.

git clone https://github.com/PdxCodeGuild/20180406-FlaskApp.git flaskapp_orig
cd flaskapp_orig
git checkout v0.1
cd ..
diff -rq flaskapp_new flaskapp_orig
