How can I deploy a Python application using Docker?

To deploy a Python application using Docker, you need to create a Dockerfile that specifies the environment and dependencies.

What should I include in the Dockerfile?

Your Dockerfile should include the base image, copy your application files, install dependencies, and specify the command to run your app.

Can you give me an example of a Dockerfile for a Flask app?

Sure! Here's a simple Dockerfile for a Flask app:

FROM python:3.8

WORKDIR /app

COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

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

How do I build and run the Docker container?

You can build the Docker image using docker build -t my-flask-app . and run it with docker run -p 5000:5000 my-flask-app.
