Error trying to build docker for flask app

I'm trying to build a docker to run a flask app. I've never done this before. I have the flask app working locally. Here is my approach:

My directory structure for the project looks like this:

model.pkl  README.md          images/            static/
Dockerfile         flaskapp.py        requirements.txt   templates/

I can launch the flask app by running python flaskapp.py and it runs in my browser (locally).

I want to create a Docker so other machines can run this project without dealing with all the dependency stuff. To do so, I've done the following:

FROM python:3
COPY requirements.txt /tmp
COPY flaskapp.py /tmp
COPY model.pkl /tmp
COPY images /tmp
COPY static /tmp
COPY templates /tmp
WORKDIR /tmp
ADD flaskapp.py /
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
CMD [ "python", "flaskapp.py" ]
This site can’t be reached0.0.0.0 refused to connect.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

So I did some digging and I updated my Dockerfile to this (adding the last line):

FROM python:3
COPY requirements.txt /tmp
COPY flaskapp.py /tmp
COPY model.pkl /tmp
COPY images /tmp
COPY static /tmp
COPY templates /tmp
WORKDIR /tmp
ADD flaskapp.py /
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
CMD [ "python", "flaskapp.py" ]
CMD ["flask", "run", "--host", "0.0.0.0" ]
Usage: flask run [OPTIONS]

Error: Could not locate Flask application. You did not provide the FLASK_APP environment variable.

For more information see http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/latest/quickstart/

How should I proceed?

If its relevant, my flaskapp.py looks like this:

model = load_learner('', 'model.pkl')

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SEND_FILE_MAX_AGE_DEFAULT'] = 0

def classify(document):
    X = document
    y = model.predict(X)
   
    return y

class ReviewForm(Form):
    pred = TextAreaField('',[validators.DataRequired(),validators.length(min=1)])

@app.route('/')
def index():
    form = ReviewForm(request.form)
    return render_template('reviewform.html', form=form)

@app.route('/results', methods=['POST'])
def results():
    form = ReviewForm(request.form)
    if request.method == 'POST' and form.validate():
        sequence = request.form['pred']
        y = classify(sequence)
        return render_template('results.html',
        y = y)
    return render_template('reviewform.html', form=form)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host= '0.0.0.0')

EDIT 1

Now I am getting this error:

You can have only CMD per Dockerfile. so one will likely be ignored.

CMD [ "python", "flaskapp.py" ]
CMD ["flask", "run", "--host", "0.0.0.0" ]

Just remove the second one as you already listening to all interfaces in the code.

CMD [ "python", "flaskapp.py" ]

Now run the Docker container with this command.

docker run -p 5000:5000 -it python-barcode

And then you will able to hit endpoint

htpp://localhost:5000

you need to expose the port to the external world

docker run -p 8000:8000 python-barcode this maps port 8000 inside the docker container to port 8000 outside the docker container.

then you can go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 on the host computer

you could also redirect the port to a different port

docker run -p 8000:9000 python-barcode and then access it at http://127.0.0.1:9000 on the host system
