# hello-memes 🐱‍🐉

This is a multi-container app based on documentation for [docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/gettingstarted/). The app pulls a ramdon meme from the following [reddit api](https://github.com/D3vd/Meme_Api). One container serves as a redis database to cache the total amount of memes shown to the user. The front end of the app is built using flask, html, and css; it is hosted on a Linux Alpine container.

## Prerequisites

To start, you need to have Docker Engine and Docker Compose on your machine. You can either:

* Install Docker Desktop which includes both Docker Engine and Docker Compose

* Install Docker Engine and Docker Compose as standalone binaries

You don't need to install Python or Redis, as both are provided by Docker images.

## Getting started

From your project directory, start the application by running:

```sh

docker compose up

```

Enter http://localhost:8000/ in a browser to see the application running. Otherwise, if this doesn't resolve, you can also try http://127.0.0.1:8000.

If the connection is successful, you should see a meme, the subreddit it is taken from, and the amount of memes you have seen thus far. To see a new meme, you can refresh the browser.
