Containerization of the app using docker-compose

Requirement

The app installation must be simplified and the app should be up with a single docker-compose up command.

Pre-requisite

• Some knowledge of containerization would be essential (preferably in docker, docker-compose or Kubernetes)
• Docker installed on the local machine. Instructions

Dependencies

None

Description

• This task requires creating the docker-compose.yml file to set up the main application service (Python code) and the database service (MySQL)
• Also, Dockerfile would be required to build the application service (dependency installation), the database service should use the prebuilt MySQL image.
• All environment variables must be passed in an elegant manner through the docker-compose file
• docker-compose up should start the init.py script.

I do indeed mean to use Dockerfile instead, if you are unable to resolve the docker-compose error. Using only docker would be more complicated as you would need to create a network for containers to communicate on.

Thanks @vishakha-lall. Your inputs really helped!!

I’m pruning and debugging other minor issues and will create a PR soon, once the GSSoC period begins. Cheers! 👍
