Simple web stack setup

This is a base setup for a simple web stack that includes a Python + Flask-based backend serving to an HTMX-based frontend hosted by NGINX.

Deploying

You can launch the entire stack by running bash launch_web_server.sh script, which will build and launch two containers:

1. A Python image backend that will deploy your app from /app using Gunicorn
2. A Nginx image frontend that will deploy your static page from /web_public using Nginx.

Configuring and building

I am trying to keep this simple, so configure your containers in the launch scripts, configure the Nginx routes in /proxy.conf, and build your Flask app inside the /app folder, being sure to keep requirements.txt updated.

Disclaimers

1. The htmx script is stored locally in the /web_public/js folder. It will be up to the user to make sure this is the correct version for your use case.
