Dockerizing simple chatting system

This is the first assignment WARM UP: I have build a simple chatting system using python3 and some dependencies of it using the socket and threading the chatting system is done. this chatting system consists of a server that handles the connection between the host machine and the clients using the IP address of the host and ports

What Happens:

the clients are all connected on the same server and when any of them send a message all other clients recieve the same message. also the server logging have a history of each client connection and dissconnection to it and there IP addresses and Port numbers.

Implementation:

I have used a static IP address and port number to be used inside the clients and server and then made two files for client and server then Implemented them into a docker file with base image of python3 and without any extra addittions, and the image just run the server.py file or client.py After that I used docker-compose to bulid the two images and connect the server with the clients on the same network and I can from here run multiple client using the same image.

Running the Files:

to run the chatting system you will need to build the images of server and client images and naming them client:latest and server:latest using

building Dockerfile images

$  docker build --pull --rm -f "Assignment1/client/Dockerfile" -t client:latest "Assignment1/client" 
$  docker build --pull --rm -f "Assignment1/server/Dockerfile" -t client:latest "Assignment1/server"

building Docker-comopse image

then you have the images you can then run the dockercompose file to connect both of the images

$ docker-compose -f "Assignment1/docker-compose.yml" up -d --build

running the chatting system or adding new client

$ docker-compose run client

Chatting

After adding new client start writing any message and press enter this message will be prodcasted to all running clients.

write any message you want and Press Enter

Docker-Compose

Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. To learn more about all the features of Compose, see the list of features.

By using the following command you can start up your application:

docker-compose -f <docker-compose-file> up
