# Visitor Counter Application
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This project demonstrates a simple web application using Apache (web server), Flask (backend) and Redis(database), deployed with Docker Compose.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Docker Engine v20.10 or newer.

## Application Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The application consists of two services:
|
||
|
|
1. Web server (Apache) serving an HTML page.
|
||
|
|
2. Backend (flask): Handles requests to '/counter'.
|
||
|
|
2. Database (Redis) storing visitor counts persistently.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Prepare the application:
|
||
|
|
./prepare-app.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Start the application:
|
||
|
|
./start-app.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Access the application at:
|
||
|
|
http://localhost:5000
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
run "hostname -I " and copy the ip address and Access the application at :
|
||
|
|
http://[ip address you copied]:5000
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Stop the application:
|
||
|
|
./stop-app.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Remove all resources:
|
||
|
|
./remove-app.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Virtual netwok and volumes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- A default network is created by docker compose for communication between these services
|
||
|
|
- A named volum ('redis_data') ensures Redis data persists across restarts.
