Getting Started

Follow the steps below to set up and deploy your web application using Docker and Terraform.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following tools installed:

• Docker
• Terraform

Project Structure

DockerTerraWeb/
├── app.py                # Sample web application (Flask)
├── Dockerfile            # Docker container configuration
├── requirements.txt      # Flask app dependencies
├── main.tf               # Terraform configuration for infrastructure
├── README.md             # Project documentation

Usage

1. Create a Simple Web Application:

   Replace the contents of app.py with your web application code. Make sure to install the required dependencies and define your app's behavior.

2. Dockerize the Application:

   Create a Dockerfile (Dockerfile) to package your web application into a Docker container. Build the Docker image and run it locally to test your app.

3. Set Up Terraform:

   Install Terraform and ensure it's in your system's PATH.

4. Write Terraform Configuration:

   Define your infrastructure in the main.tf Terraform configuration file. Customize it according to your requirements. For this example, we create an AWS EC2 instance.

5. Deploy the Docker Container Using Terraform:

   Add a provisioner block to your Terraform configuration to deploy your Docker container on the EC2 instance. Update the Terraform configuration using terraform apply.

6. Access Your Web App:

   After Terraform deployment is complete, access your Flask web app by using the public IP address of the EC2 instance.
