Docker Deployment for Markov Economics Simulation

This directory contains Docker configuration files for containerizing the Markov Economics Simulation App.

Files

Dockerfile - Multi-stage Docker build configuration
docker-compose.yml - Docker Compose configuration for easy deployment
.dockerignore - Files to exclude from Docker build context

Quick Start

Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

# Build and start the application
docker compose up --build

# Run in detached mode
docker compose up -d --build

# Stop the application
docker compose down

Using Docker directly

# Build the image
docker build -t markov-economics .

# Run the container
docker run -p 5000:5000 markov-economics

# Run with environment variables
docker run -p 5000:5000 \
  -e FLASK_ENV=production \
  -e FLASK_APP=run.py \
  markov-economics

Access

Once running, the application will be available at:

Main application: http://localhost:5000
Health check: http://localhost:5000/health

Configuration

Environment Variables

FLASK_ENV - Flask environment (development/production)
FLASK_APP - Entry point file (run.py)
PYTHONUNBUFFERED - Ensure Python output is not buffered

Ports

5000 - Main application port (Flask + SocketIO)

Health Check

The container includes a health check that verifies the application is responding correctly at /health.
