Flask-webshop

This was the final group project in the course "DATA2410 Networking and cloud computing" at OsloMet.
The task was to build a simple webshop using Python Flask and a RESTful API.

How to run:

1. Download Docker and Docker compose from: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
2. Clone or download this project and navigate to the folder with the docker-compose.yml file.
3. In the folder, open up a terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

   docker-compose up

   NB: You need to be sudo to run the command in Linux.
   

Navigate to the following links after the command is finished:

URL	Description
https://localhost:5000	The webshop
http://localhost:9090	Prometheus (resource tracking)
http://localhost:3000	Grafana (graphically displays data from prometheus)

Important

When accessing https://localhost:5000 you will get a warning in your browser. This happens because the website uses a self-signed SSL certificate. Allow this in your browser to continue.
