This is a cookiecutter template for quickly deploying a Flask app on Kubernetes. It is setup with NGINX as a reverse proxy to serve the static files underneath the web/static directory.

• You'll need a Kubernetes cluster, such as minikube or Google Kubernetes Engine.
• kubectl
• Cookiecutter should be installed in a Python environment: $ pip install cookiecutter

Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/ritchie46/kubernetes-flask-nginx-cookiecutter.git

Run cookiecutter to create a new project:

$ cookiecutter kubernetes-flask-nginx-cookiecutter

$ cd <your-directory-name>

You can build the Flask app and push it to Docker hub or any other container registry you've set.

$ ./build_and_push

Create all the kubernetes resources:

$ ./create_all

This creates a service on the kubernetes cluster. The hello world is visible at the clusters external ip. On minikube this is:

$ minikube service <app_name-service>

Remove all the resources:

$ ./delete_all
