+# Visitor Counter Application
+
+## Description of the Application
+This application is designed to count the number of visits to a webpage. It utilizes Flask for the backend, Apache for serving static web content, and Redis for storing visitor counts.
+
+## List of Containers Used
+
+- **Backend Container**: Built using Flask, this container handles API requests and updates visitor counts in Redis.
+- **Web Container**: Built using Apache, this container serves static HTML content.
+- **Redis Container**: Uses the official Redis image to store visitor counts persistently.
+
+## List of Kubernetes Objects
+
+- **Deployments**:
+  - **Backend Deployment**: Manages the backend Flask application.
+  - **Web Deployment**: Manages the web Apache server.
+- **Services**:
+  - **Backend Service**: Exposes the backend application on a specific port.
+  - **Web Service**: Exposes the web server on a specific port.
+  - **Redis Service**: Provides access to the Redis database.
+- **StatefulSet**:
+  - **Redis StatefulSet**: Ensures persistent storage for Redis data.
+- **PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC)** and **PersistentVolume (PV)**:
+  - Used for providing persistent storage to Redis.
+
+## Virtual Networks and Named Volumes
+
+- **Virtual Networks**: Kubernetes automatically manages pod-to-pod communication within a cluster.
+- **Named Volumes**: Used for persistent storage in Redis, ensuring data is retained across pod restarts.
+
+## Container Configuration
+
+- **Backend Container**: Configured to listen on port 5000 and connect to Redis for storing visitor counts.
+- **Web Container**: Configured to serve static HTML content on port 80.
+- **Redis Container**: Configured to store data persistently using a PersistentVolumeClaim.
+
+## Instructions to Prepare, Run, Pause, and Delete the Application
+
+1. **Prepare the Application**:
+   Run the `prepare-app.sh` script to build Docker images and load them into Minikube.
+
+./prepare-app.sh
+
+
+2. **Run the Application**:
+Run the `start-app.sh` script to create all necessary Kubernetes objects and start the application.
+./start-app.sh
+
+
+3. **Pause the Application**:
+You can pause the application by scaling down deployments to zero replicas:
+
+kubectl scale deployment backend-deployment --replicas=0
+kubectl scale deployment web-deployment --replicas=0
+
+
+4. **Delete the Application**:
+Run the `stop-app.sh` script to delete all Kubernetes objects and stop the application.
+./stop-app.sh
+
+
+## Instructions to View the Application on the Web
+
+1. **Access the Web Service**:
+Use Minikube to access the web service:
+
+minikube service web-service --url
+
+This will output a URL that you can use to view the application in your web browser by ctrl+clicking on the link.

-# Visitor Counter Application
+# Web Form Application with PostgreSQL on Kubernetes
 
-## Description of the Application
-This application is designed to count the number of visits to a webpage. It utilizes Flask for the backend, Apache for serving static web content, and Redis for storing visitor counts.
+## 📌 Application Description
 
-## List of Containers Used
+This project is a simple web application built with Flask that provides a form for user input. The form collects the following data:
+- Name
+- Middle name
+- Surname
+- Age
 
-- **Backend Container**: Built using Flask, this container handles API requests and updates visitor counts in Redis.
-- **Web Container**: Built using Apache, this container serves static HTML content.
-- **Redis Container**: Uses the official Redis image to store visitor counts persistently.
+Upon submission, the data is stored in a PostgreSQL database. A confirmation message is displayed once the data is successfully inserted.
 
-## List of Kubernetes Objects
+---
 
-- **Deployments**:
-  - **Backend Deployment**: Manages the backend Flask application.
-  - **Web Deployment**: Manages the web Apache server.
-- **Services**:
-  - **Backend Service**: Exposes the backend application on a specific port.
-  - **Web Service**: Exposes the web server on a specific port.
-  - **Redis Service**: Provides access to the Redis database.
-- **StatefulSet**:
-  - **Redis StatefulSet**: Ensures persistent storage for Redis data.
-- **PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC)** and **PersistentVolume (PV)**:
-  - Used for providing persistent storage to Redis.
+## 🐳 Containers Used
 
-## Virtual Networks and Named Volumes
+1. **web-app**
+   - A Python Flask-based container serving the HTML form and handling form submission.
+   - Connects to the PostgreSQL container using environment variables.
 
-- **Virtual Networks**: Kubernetes automatically manages pod-to-pod communication within a cluster.
-- **Named Volumes**: Used for persistent storage in Redis, ensuring data is retained across pod restarts.
+2. **postgres**
+   - Official PostgreSQL container used as the backend database.
+   - Uses a named volume to persist data.
+   - Initializes the database and the `users` table using a custom `init.sql` script.
 
-## Container Configuration
+---
 
-- **Backend Container**: Configured to listen on port 5000 and connect to Redis for storing visitor counts.
-- **Web Container**: Configured to serve static HTML content on port 80.
-- **Redis Container**: Configured to store data persistently using a PersistentVolumeClaim.
+## 🕸 Kubernetes Objects

+|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `Namespace`        | Isolates the application under `webform-app`.                               |
+| `Deployment`       | Manages the Flask web app, ensuring high availability.                      |
+| `StatefulSet`      | Manages the PostgreSQL database pod with persistent identity and storage.   |
+| `Service`          | Exposes both the web app and PostgreSQL internally via DNS.                 |
+| `PersistentVolume` | Provides physical storage for PostgreSQL data.                              |
+| `PersistentVolumeClaim` | Requests storage for the StatefulSet.                                 |
 
-1. **Prepare the Application**:
-   Run the `prepare-app.sh` script to build Docker images and load them into Minikube.
+---
 
-./prepare-app.sh
+## 🌐 Virtual Networks & Volumes
+
+- **Virtual Networking**: Kubernetes Services provide internal DNS-based networking. The Flask app communicates with PostgreSQL using the service name `postgres` within the same namespace.
+  
+- **Named Volumes**:
+  - A named volume is mounted at `/var/lib/postgresql/data` in the PostgreSQL container to persist database data across pod restarts.
+
+---
+## ⚙️ Container Configuration
+
+- Flask container:
+  - Dockerized using `python:3.11-slim` as the base image.
+  - `flask` and `psycopg2-binary` installed.
+  - `app.py` and `index.html` are copied into the container.
+  - Uses port `5000`.
+  
+- PostgreSQL container:
+  - Uses `docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql` to initialize the database (`userdb`) and create the `users` table on first run.
+  - Uses environment variables for default credentials and database name.
+
+---
 
 
-2. **Run the Application**:
-Run the `start-app.sh` script to create all necessary Kubernetes objects and start the application.
-./start-app.sh
+## 🛠️ Instructions
+
+### ✅ Prepare the Application
+
+```bash
+# Create namespace
+kubectl apply -f kubi/namespace.yaml
+
+# Create persistent volume and claim
+kubectl apply -f kubi/pv.yaml
+kubectl apply -f kubi/pvc.yaml
+
+# Deploy PostgreSQL StatefulSet and Service
+kubectl apply -f kubi/postgres-statefulset.yaml
+kubectl apply -f kubi/postgres-service.yaml
+
+# Deploy Flask web app and Service
+kubectl apply -f kubi/webapp-deployment.yaml
+kubectl apply -f kubi/webapp-service.yaml
+```
 
 
-3. **Pause the Application**:
-You can pause the application by scaling down deployments to zero replicas:
+# Run the Application
+kubectl get pods -n webform-app
 
-kubectl scale deployment backend-deployment --replicas=0
-kubectl scale deployment web-deployment --replicas=0
+# You can pause the app using:
+kubectl scale deployment web-app --replicas=0 -n webform-app
+
+# Delete the app 
+kubectl delete -f kubi/ --recursive
+
+# to view the app in browser 
+# find the NodePort exposed by the web app
+kubectl get svc -n webform-app
+
+# Then open broswerr and go to 
+http://<your-node-ip>:<node-port>
+
+# Since its minikube use
+minikube service web-app-service -n webform-app
 
 
-4. **Delete the Application**:
-Run the `stop-app.sh` script to delete all Kubernetes objects and stop the application.
-./stop-app.sh
-
-
-## Instructions to View the Application on the Web
-
-1. **Access the Web Service**:
-Use Minikube to access the web service:
-
-minikube service web-service --url
-
-This will output a URL that you can use to view the application in your web browser by ctrl+clicking on the link.
