FastAPI with Docker in 1 Minute ⚡

If you’re looking to quickly set up a FastAPI project with Docker, you’re in the right place!

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. Docker is a containerization platform that allows you to package and deploy applications.

Here’s how you can get started with FastAPI and Docker in just 1 minute:

1. First, make sure you have Docker installed on your machine.
2. Create a new directory for your FastAPI project.
3. Inside this directory, create a new file called main.py and add your FastAPI code.
4. Create a new file called Dockerfile in the same directory and add the following Docker configuration:

FROM tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi:python3.8

COPY ./app /app
      

5. Create a new file called requirements.txt and add your project dependencies, for example:

fastapi
uvicorn
      

6. Finally, build and run your Docker container with the following commands:

docker build -t fastapi-app .
docker run -d --name fastapi-container -p 80:80 fastapi-app
      

And that’s it! Your FastAPI project is now running inside a Docker container.

With just a few simple steps, you can have your FastAPI project up and running with Docker in no time.

Happy coding! ⚡
