This repository provides a sample Python web application implemented using the Flask web framework

This sample Python application relies on the support provided by the default S2I builder for deploying a WSGI application using the gunicorn WSGI server. The requirements which need to be satisfied for this to work are:

• The WSGI application code file needs to be named wsgi.py.
• The WSGI application entry point within the code file needs to be named application.
• The gunicorn package must be listed in the requirements.txt file for pip.

In addition, the .s2i/environment file has been created to allow environment variables to be set to override the behaviour of the default S2I builder for Python.

• The environment variable APP_CONFIG has been set to declare the name of the config file for gunicorn.

• Linux RHEL
• python 3.6
• Flash???

1. To deploy this sample Python web application from the OpenShift web console, python:3.7 or python:latest.

2. Use the following git URL https://github.com/simple-best/os-sample-python.git

3. If using the oc command line tool (cli) instead of the OpenShift web console, you can run:

oc   sample_py_flask_app   python:3.6~https://github.com/simple-best/os-sample-python.git

Note if no language type is specified, OpenShift will determine the language by inspecting the code repository.

• Because the code repository contains a requirements.txt, it will subsequently be interpreted as including a Python application.
• When such automatic detection is used, python:latest will be used.

5. If you don't need to select a specific Python version you should instead use:

oc   sample_py_flask   https://github.com/OpenShiftDemos/os-sample-python.git
