Companion repository for a tutorial series about using Docker locally for web development

Demat ! 👋

I'm Yannick, a senior backend developer based in Brighton, UK.

You might want to have a look at my Docker for local web development series, whose repository is my most popular one.

Here's what I've been publishing on my blog lately (you can also follow me on Twitter for more content):

docker-tutorial's Issues

phpmyadmin.test doesnt seem to work with https...

I came across the error right after we installed the certificates...
when i entered phpmyadmin.test it was showing up as not secured.

changed the server_name to phpmyadmin.demo.test and restarted the container...

Works like it should work now :)

hope this helps out some others

Where do I ask questions about specific setup's?

Hi @osteel. Let me first thank you for this Docker tutorial. I am using it for over a year now for my local development, but never got around to make an attempt to getting to know it. This tutorial series is an excellent starting point.

I have a specific setup I still don't know how to setup. I am also somewhat of a paranoia dinosaur and don't use social media. You either have no e-mail or prefer not to share the address with the public, understandably so. So my question is if you are available for advice in specific situations and if so, where do I ask my questions?

Slackbot + Docker + ngrok results in Dispatch_failed

Hi @osteel, I wanted some inputs from you regarding Docker + ngrok as I am stuck and don't know how to proceed further.

Tl;Dr Docker running in one terminal, fails to listen/recognize ngrok's url running on another terminal. How to make Docker listen to ngrok?

Running the slackbot (built in python + flask) within PyCharm works fine, as in commands are executed and payloads/modals are being sent received. And so does running the command gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 wsgi:flaskApp -w 4 within PyCharm's termnal (Please note, ngrok is running on mac's terminal via ./ngrok http 5000). The url in "Interactivity & Shortcuts" AND "Slash Commands" both point to https://...ngrok.io/slack/events. Again, the app, the commands, ngrok, everything works fine.

But when I move the slack app to within Docker and start Docker up with docker-compose up --build which in turns runs ENTRYPOINT ["gunicorn", "--bind", "0.0.0.0:5000", "wsgi:flaskApp", "--workers", "4"], the slackbot fails with dispatch_failed when a command is executed and ngrok terminal shows 502 Bad Gateway. The docker command/image, itself runs fine without any errors, but for some reason it isn't able to recognize the url exposed by ngrok. Any ideas what's wrong?

Dockerfile

ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

WORKDIR /app

COPY requirements.txt ./

COPY Main.py wsgi.py EmailSender.py AppConfig.py CompareCopyFgData.py SlackPayload.py Queries.py ./

RUN pip install --upgrade pip && pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

ENV FLASK_APP=Main.py
ENV FLASK_ENV=production

ENTRYPOINT ["gunicorn", "--bind", "0.0.0.0:5000", "wsgi:flaskApp", "--workers", "4"]

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.9"
services:
  slackbot:
    build: 
      context: App/
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    env_file:
      - ./App/.env

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start ngrok in a terminal using ngrok http 5000
2. Set up docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile with the appropriate files and run commands
3. In a new terminal, point to the folder containing docker-compose.yml image and run command docker-compose up --build
4. If no errors, go to slack and run a slash command and wait to see logs in Docker Terminal window

Expected result:

Docker to accept incoming slack commands and print logs, send modal(s) to slack and receive user inputs etc

Actual result:

Nothing happens in docker. The 4 workers are started and keep waiting/listening for a payload/data to come in, even though ngrok is running.

Proxy error

Hi there,

I received a proxy error like this:
Proxy error: Could not proxy request /api/login from frontend.demo.test to http://backend.demo.test/. frontend_1 | See https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors for more information (ECONNREFUSED).

Help me, please. Thanks!

version error

following your first part of this tut iget this error, when adding mysql:

ERROR: Version in "./docker-compose.yml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version. Either specify a supported version (e.g "2.2" or "3.3") and place your service definitions under the services key, or omit the version key and place your service definitions at the root of the file to use version 1.
For more on the Compose file format versions, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/
