Python App for project1

Here is the application code that you can use for project1. This is a very basic flask app for python, feel free to add more to the website if you know how.

To run the app, you will need to dockerize this application and push it to your dockerhub app

Step 1. download this repo to your local machine https://github.com/bdgomey/Azure104Project1.git and cd into that directory

Step 2. create a dockerhub account at dockerhub.com

Step 3. Add your mysql connection string to the app.py file. There will be 3 places to put this information the first one in the code will not have a database entry, please keep the connection string in the code as it is.

db = mysql.connector.connect(
    host="",
    user="",
    passwd="",
    database="to_do_list"
)

Step 4. create a docker image of this application and push it to your dockerhub account

docker login -u <your dockerhub username>
# enter your password
docker build -t <your dockerhub username>/<appName> .
docker push <your dockerhub username>/<appName>

make sure to use your dockerhub username you had when you created the dockerhub account.

Step 5. create a new web app in azure and make sure that it uses the container image you just created. You will need to create a new app service plan. You need to make sure that the service plan you use can have vnet integration enabled (free tier does not allow this)
