I have a flask application running on Ec-2 instance. I could access it from the outside environment with http:ip-address:5000 where IP-address is the public address of my ec-2 instance.
My flask application code:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def my_form_post():
return "Hello World"
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host="my-ec2-private-address", port=5000, debug=True)
I dockerized the flask application using the following Dockerfile:
FROM python:2.7
MAINTAINER noob-reaper
COPY . /Mini
WORKDIR /Mini
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
EXPOSE 5000
CMD python miniRobot.py
My build command was :
docker build -t robot .
The build was successful. But when I try to run using the following command:
docker run -p 5000:5000 robot
I get the following error---
port bindings are not yet supported by rootless containers
How to resolve the above issue? Is there a way to access flask service running in a Docker container in an ec-2 instance from outside?
Using sudo while building docker images and running docker container resolved this issue. sudo helps to run non-root containers
