# 🐳 Multi-Container Application Deployment with Docker Compose
[](https://github.com/TheToriqul/multi-container-app-deployment)
## 📋 Project Overview
This project demonstrates my expertise in deploying and managing multi-container applications using Docker Compose. I've built a scalable web application that combines a Python Flask frontend with a Redis backend, showcasing modern containerization practices and microservices architecture.
## 🎯 Key Objectives
- Implement a multi-container application architecture using Docker Compose
- Develop a Flask web application with Redis integration for state management
- Configure container networking for secure service communication
- Implement persistent storage using Docker volumes
- Create a production-ready container deployment workflow

## 💻 Technical Stack
- **Frontend**: Python Flask application
- **Backend**: Redis for data persistence
- **Container Runtime**: Docker Engine
- **Orchestration**: Docker Compose
- **Base Images**:
- Python 3.9 Alpine
- Redis Alpine
## 🚀 Getting Started
🐳 Prerequisites
- Docker Engine (version 20.10.0 or higher)
- Docker Compose V2
- Git (for cloning the repository)
- curl (for testing the deployment)
⚙️ Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/TheToriqul/multi-container-app-deployment.git
cd multi-container-app-deployment
```
2. Review the configuration files:
- `app.py`: Flask application code
- `Dockerfile`: Container image definition
- `compose.yaml`: Multi-container orchestration configuration
3. Deploy the application:
```bash
docker compose -f compose.yaml up -d
```
🎮 Usage
1. Access the application:
```bash
curl localhost:5001
```
2. Monitor the services:
```bash
docker-compose ps
docker-compose logs
```
3. Stop the application:
```bash
docker-compose down --volumes
```
For detailed commands and operations, refer to the [reference-commands.md](reference-commands.md) file.
