# python-service-1
#### Running a python REST application in a docker container
The idea behind this is to simply provide a barebones model for how to run a python based REST "service" in a docker container.
You can replace this "service" application with any python application, really. I've also included a small suite of pytests, to demonstrate how you could use the test suite to break your build if you mess something up.
All of this could be instrumented in a pipeline, which I'll probably do on my bitbucket for demo purposes.
To build the container:
```
> docker build -t python-service-1 .
```
You should get some output that looks like this:
```
> docker build -t python-service-1 . (0m)|*[master]

If the pytest step fails, the build will fail.
To run the container:
```
> docker run -d -p 5000:5000 python-service-1
ee5f7e9b5384777a9b52c3bf829b88e0bac1a3eb4e612bdd721d480724e37eb5
> docker ps

ee5f7e9b5384 python-service-1 "python /service/sim…" 10 seconds ago Up 9 seconds 0.0.0.0:5000->5000/tcp amazing_darwin
```
This should put the service on port 5000 on your localhost. You can hit it with curl commands for confirmation:
```
> curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"George"}' http://localhost:5000/hashname
{"hash": 7024223046703969137, "name": "George"}%
> curl http://localhost:5000/version
{"application": "Simple Api", "version": 0.1}%
```
One possible use for this, might be to teach API testing. It could also be coupled with a database or a web server, for additional testing demonstrations, for example, with selenium.
