Filer_flask_api

This program provides an HTTP API to store and retrieve files with the following features:

• Upload a new file
• Retrieve all uploaded files or by file name
• Delete an uploaded file by name
• Dockerfile to build image for hosting this api

How to build an image and launch the container

No-Proxy

# docker build https://github.com/khaiduong/filer_flask_api.git

Behind proxy

# docker build --build-arg HTTP_PROXY=<your proxy>:<port> https://github.com/khaiduong/filer_flask_api.git

Lauch container

# docker run -d -p 8000:8000 <image_id>

!!NOTE!: you can use your own hostname and port by editing the file src/server.py:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000, debug=True)

How to test

After the container has been launched, we can easily reach the api by host's IP address with port 8000:

!!NOTE: The api limits the maximum allowed payload to 6 megabytes, change it by editing the file src/server.py:

app.config['MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH'] = 6 * 1024 * 1024

Retrieve all uploaded files:

or retrieve by a specific filename by url:

/files/<filename>

Remove a file by file name:

To get the command line output of your app use:

docker log -f CONTAINER_ID/NAME
