This is a simple demo for how to connect to a Postgres database from a python flask application. To run this on your computer you must first install docker.
##Running
First do a git clone.
git clone https://github.com/mehemken/docker-flask-postgres
Then make sure you have docker installed. I also recommend docker-compose to make life easier, but it comes with docker engine for Windows and Mac.
Once you have all of that, you should be good. No need to install Postgres or even Python.
alias fig="docker-compose"
fig up --build -d #Run the container
fig down #Stop and remove everything
# Add your code to the /app/ directory
# At the moment, you have to do a fig up/down after each change.
# However, I'll be adding support for a dev setting
# where all you'll need is to refresh the page in your browser.
